Rules


¤1¤All genres of websites are welcome to apply to be reviewed or awarded. All except unappropriate sites! If you own your own website, you must know right from wrong.

¤2¤When applying, make sure you tell me what you are applying for! I'm using the same form for both, so where it says "Applying For What?" put "review" or "award". If you are applying for an award, we'll choose what ranking you'll get.

¤3¤DO NOT steal the awards!! "Sample" will be written in big, bold red letters anyway, so you'd have to be an idiot to steal.

¤4¤NO FLAMING! If you don't like what we got to say, then don't apply at all! Reviews are suppose to help you in a sense to make you improve. Like they say, the truth hurts, but it's better then us lieing towards you.

¤5¤Submit your website only once for a review or award. You will ALWAYS get a reply from one of us, we live in the same house anyway. Just because we didn't review your site right away doesn't mean we didn't receive your application or just ignoring you. We have a life and this site is only our hobby.

¤6¤When you get reviewed or win an award, you must get a code and link us back! If you win an award, you MUST place the award on the site. If you were reviewed, it's optional to place your review up, but mandatory to put a link on your site saying it was reviewed.

¤7¤If you are submitting your site to be reviewed or awarded, make sure it's not on hiatus or heavily underconstruction. It would make it kinda pointless since theirs nothing to look at and you would get a bad score.

¤8¤To make sure you were a good little girl or boy and read our rules, you have to know the password! Where it says "Rin Asks Jaken" put, "How are you useful to Sesshoumaru?" I can never get over that momment. ^^
