Videogame Source : Message Boards

The boards are the exact highlight of a gamer's visit to a gaming site.  You get to interact with tons of other gamers and get their take on a game, or ask any question you want.  Something is always new and you even get to communicate with us gods who make up the site!!!  Cool, eh?

Message Boards

 

In Development

The Videogame Source message boards are currently under further construction because of major updates and upgrades!!  Expect them back up and in full shape soon!

Coming Soon!!!

 

Rules and Regulations

By participating on our message boards, you must agree to ALL of the terms stated below:
1. Creating an account
EzBoards are used for VG Source, and you must create an account with them. By using these boards, you must also agree to any rules EzBoards has, and any additional questions specifically regarding the boards can be found here.

Any offensive names will be banned from our boards. See Member Conduct for more.

2. Member Conduct
  • Flaming/Trolling is prohibited. A "flame" is a direct insult towards another board users, and a "troll" is an attempt to provoke other users to flame.
  • Censor bypass is not allowed, however if you censor all but the first letter of the word, you may post it. For example, if "pants" was a banned word, you could not type anything like "pant$" or "p.ants", but "p****" would be acceptable. All words are allowed except for words picked up by the censor. If you type a banned word, it will automatically be turned into symbols (i.e. $!%@) but if you bypass it, your message will be deleted and action against your account may be taken.
  • Overly offensive and sexually explicit remarks are not allowed. The moderators will determine what is appropriate.
  • Posting links to sites that contain offensive material without posting a warning is bad, and your message will be deleted. Even if you do post a warning, it may still be deleted if the site is too vulgar.
  • Excessive posting of emoticons is not allowed as it slows down the boards and can be distracting. Posting excessively large images may also be deleted due to the fact that it creates long load times. If you are doing it too much, we will tell you, but if you persist you are likely to be banned.
  • Posting an offensive image on the boards is strictly prohibited and will be enforced. If you post an image that is not tasteful, you are asking for your account to be banned. And banned, it will be.
  • If something belongs on another board it will be moved there.
  • The moderators have the right to delete anything else that they think should be moderated. Don't argue!!! If you have a question about a certain thing, ask on the help board.
3. Moderation
The boards are monitored by our moderators and messages against these rules can and will be deleted by them.

The current moderators are: BillyKane, miff plus O, and totalstuff.

As the board activity increases, more moderators may be needed. But this is all for now.

Any messages that break the rules will be deleted, or in some cases, edited to fit within the rules. If any user is consistently breaking the rules and they may be banned from the boards.

4. User Levels
