I skimmed them, but my page is still in development, and probably will be for some time. Slowly working on it .

I read them all when I started here or- for the ones that came later- when I've seen them show up on the board. But I am reading them again now to see if there's been any changes. I'm kind of paranoid about breaking rules.

Well, There are two things I'd like to mention/ask:

1) (Just in case) You might have noticed that I've uploaded a few mp3 files for free download in my site. This is why:

The bands which are being promoted in my site ( Sonorama.NET ) are totally UNSIGNED bands, which means that -first of all- there are no rules broken unless they don't agree with the public use of their mp3s <--THIS WON'T HAPPEN-- Why? because I got the authorisation from all of them (the bands) to use the files. This is FREE PROMOTION for their music; and afterall, if they get signed in a major label, they will possibly prevent us from using their mp3s in the site.

I also had already asked you guys about this situation in THIS TOPIC

2) I'd like to see if it is possible (well i've just read your rules and found it very possible) to get some x-tras if I put some Trap 17's AD on my site. And BTW, I'd love to know where I can get some TRAP 17 Banners (468x60px if possible).

Well, finally I'd like to let you know that I have linked you back in my site since the very first day i started running up Sonorama.NET (you can check it yourself)

THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION and FOR EXISTING (Believe me, I DO BELIEVE YOU GUYS ROCK FOR WHAT YOU DO WITH THIS SITE!!)

on #1: spectre did answer that one already, so just to make it "official" on your part, ask for a written authorization from those bands. trap17 admins may ask for it too if there is a legal question on those mp3s you have on your hosting space.

on #2: if you're providing downloads (mp3s, etc.):

QUOTE

source: http://www.trap17.com/forums/trap17-file-no-106.html
Even though We generally do NOT allow hosting of ZIP and MP3 files, You still can. But if you do, Your account will not be upgraded beyond 1GB Bandwidth.

it eats ups system resources, and if downloads get too popular, it can slow down the servers. (note: i do have a downloads section in my site also, but it is just a bunch of links pointing to where i host them on a limited time basis [rapidshare.de])

extras are subject to the approval of admins (OPAQUE and/or NILSC). but i doubt if it's going to be approved if space and bandwidth is predominantly consumed by downloads. i suppose it's on a case-to-case basis, so it is still worth a try to contact any of the admins. (note: i still do host also trap17 ads on my site, although i don't get extras... at least, not anymore. any member can upgrade to get the 5GB bandwidth allotment already. )

trap17 ad codes can be requested from admins. i have a link in my sig about that before, but i removed it already. trap17 banners on the other hand can be found here: http://www.trap17.com/banners/
(just some banners made by trap17 members, in varied sizes, although it's not income-generating when used on your site unlike trap17 ads.)

Well, I have to say No Worries The bands in my site are currently not so popular, and since we demand an user registration in order to get access to the mp3s, lots of people just leave the site without the songs So, the bandwidth because of Downloads is not that much.

And as a response of these specific thread:

YEah! All the bands have sent me the demos and the Written Authorization for using those mp3s

And Thanks BTW for the banners sources

...and because ROCK was always INDIE

Yes I also have rad the rules. ITs been a awhile though and y memory is not the best so it may be a good idea for me to reread them and see if anythign has changed or what may have missed, I also worry about breaking anyrules I would never intentionnally do that, I love it here and would hate to get into any trouble fr not following the rules. It can be a little overwhelmin as a newbie to have to read the rules because there is alot to read but it is definately worth it to read to make sure you dont break any and get into touble.

I have read the Trap17 Rules and Guidelines, and have also read the terms and conditions of the hosting account.

The rules and guidelines for the forum are very, very standard, nothing special about them, just the normal, standard forum rules...

Standard forum rules are very easy to follow, but in addition to standard forum rules, there are also rules which are unique to Trap17, such as the very strict copyright rules trap17 has in place. (Which is a very good thing, because it will only prolong Trap17's life span)...

The hosting rules are a bit different to the normal "free web hosting" rules, like there they normally have an upload limit I.e. a lot of free hosting providers only allow a maximum upload of 500KB each time, which won't be much use for their "unlimited bandwidth", "unlimited space","unlimited number of files"...

But also other rules like being strict on not making big downloads that would clog up bandwidth, that I see is put in to compensate for the fact that users can upload really big files (i.e. up to 499MB) and download them, again and again just o clog up bandwidth, I'm sure trap17 has measures in place to prevent that from happening...

So, it ain't hard to conform to the normal forum rules although for a lot of us just "copying and pasting" articles and "hotlinking images to a non-image hosting provider" are a habit from the forums that "let their members loose" and allow all those things...

And it ain't hard writing in proper/near proper grammar, just try to get off the habit of using "txt" language, which isn't actually a language...

I think this would be a poor excuse to gain post count by saying that I'll read it.

In all honesty, I haven't read it and don't think I will soon. To me, it's just common sense and courtesy. The general idea here is to not flame anyone, be completely rude, and contribute something worthy of reading for other members to learn from (instead of all those short responses that we've all seen that don't really say anything other than "lol cool." ) or something to indicate that the thread provokes actual interest and/or discussion. Of course, there are those side rules exclusive to Trap17 that look down and discourage double-posting (which some of us still do from time to time, me included); encourage proper spelling, word choice, and grammar (for clarity and distinctiveness); warn against spamming; etc.

I'm not saying NOT to read the rules, but if you genuinely have no clue as to how to participate in an online forum environment, you should take Trap17's rules as a good guideline of general behavior online.

Not every forum on the Web has to be full of "txt t4lk," flaming, or any other sort of garbage.

   realized that it was only my main page that has been activated, the subdomains were not. Whenever I

    Your hosting account is currently in READ-ONLY mode while OpaQue has chance to maintain the server.

    your hosting account may behave radically. But rest assure that OpaQue is working on this to resolve
    the issue as soon as he can. During this time all application approval will be on halt but will
    continue to review the application. And once the server is ready to go, all approvals will resume as
    normal. Thank you....
