How we operate

[Maddy]

Welcome to RPGXtasy, your #1 RPG listings site, and one of the best guest-friendly directories you'll ever SEE!

Hey! I'm so glad you came to read this- whether you're here to browse through forums or advertise for your own! This is sort of like our rules page, but it'll guide you around the site, like a tour. You'll also find out about our contests and Roleplay Of The Month, and see how you can win! Every single board on the site is guest-friendly, so have fun!

Let's start with the side-bar. Wondering what a few of them are referring to? I'll begin with Navigate.

So Navigate is links to a bunch of our most important threads and boards, an easily menu to take you straight where you want to go.

• Listings;; This is where our forum directory is, where all the advertisements are held. They've been carefully divided into the most commonly made forums for your convenience, so click away.
  
  
• Chat;; Like our lounge. Where anyone can start a thread about something totally irrelevant to anything going on, or if they'd just like to discuss roleplaying. Do your best not to advertise, please.
  
  
• All affiliates;; So if you're interested in affiliating with us, this is where yours will go. There's easy access to it so anyone with a brain could find it, and it's basically our directory. In the form, you'll be asked to give us a 50-word description on your site, which will be placed just below it. It doesn't have to be exactly 50 words, but try to be as close as possible- 20 or seventy words will not be accepted.
  
  
• Q + S;; If you have any questions or concerns about the sie, please tell us about it, and we'll get on it right away! This one is fairly obvious .
  
  
• Register;; Self-explanatory. In the case of an idiot reading this though, it's where you'll sign up to become a member.
  

Now! The Roleplay Of The Month is sure to get a lot of publicity, but it's not that easy to win. Here are the guidelines;;

• As usually, it's not necessary to join just to win it, but members are perfectly welcome to as well, of course.
  
  
• Your site must be active. This means that at least 75% of your members should have been active in the past 24 hours, or else I think you have a problem on your hands!
  
  
• You must have at least 10 members already signed up. For multiple accounts per person, I'd raise this to about 18. Don't lie to us about this- if you win, we'll explore your sight and find out anyway, but it's not worth the trouble or checking every applicants site out to the bone.
  
  
• You site should have nice graphics and an attractive skin. It doesn't have to be perfect, but an image is very important if you'd like to gain members.
  
  
• The content should be well thought out and clever. Beginner sites are also eligible, but just because it's your first time roleplaying, doesn't mean you can't be tidy with your spell-checking and formatting.
  
  
• Basically, your site should be something that people want to join. If your site is old, or has few members online each day or signed up, then don't apply. You won't get the spot, and even if you do, you won't get many members from being in the spotlight with a bad website. I'm sorry, but it's true.
  
  So, if you'd like to apply, then the thread to do it at is held right here!
  

The next box that might not be globally known in the "Chosen Affies" box. These are the forums we hand-picked and we highly recommend to the public. If any of these sites fail to uphold any of the values stated above, then they will be taken down in 1-2 weeks. Also, all of our past winners of RPOTM are placed here afterwards, and the same rules apply to them.

Then we have our banner, and then another box for other RPG listing sites you might want to check out when you're done here.

The reasons you should join as a full member is that you'll be able to communicate with people via PM, not have to type your name and the security code every time you would like to post, and people will have an easier time remembering you.

Plus, you could get a colored name, customize your profile with your own text, avvie and signature. But it's not worth it if all you're here to do is throw in your ad and then run. So please consider if you can be active before joining.

Please be courteous to everyone on the site! That means no heavy swearing (every f**king second word), no insulting someone because of their beliefs/interests, and just general rudeness. We can ban guests, too.

So, that's about everything you need to know about the place! I hope you can enjoy your time here, and find what you look like.
