I'll try to keep this short and sweet.
The Rules:
For the Admins:
1. There are 3 options for the placement of the Board Hop Table. The first option is in the main header, the second is in a side table in the Global Header, and the third option is in the Main Footer at the bottom of the main page. Each board must place the Board Hop table in one of these three places, unless special permission is granted to place it elsewhere. The reason for this is to keep the boardhop unbroken, in case your board goes into maintenance mode.
You also may start a board hop thread with the link inside the thread, in case you wish to have the hoppers leave a message to tell you they were at your board. This is in addition to the board hop table.
2. Each message board applying to the board hop should have, at least, 1 forum which allows guest viewing. Remember, the hoppers are interested in seeing what you can offer them and many will not become members just to see what is on your board. Usually a general chat forum is a good choice for guest viewing, however you can make whatever forum(s) you like to be open for guests to view. You may even have a "Forum of the Week (or Month)", where you change the forum for guest viewing on a weekly or monthly basis. Please make it clear which forum(s) are for guest posting.
3. There will be no pornography on this hop, nor is there any sites which offer illegal activities... including the promotion of illegal activities. All boards must be in compliance with the Proboard TOS at all times.
4. The Thread for the Board Hop must remain intact at all times.
For the Hoppers:
1. All Hoppers are asked to post only one message per board on the hop in the Board Hop thread, if that thread is available.
2. Please post only 1 message per board you hop to in the Board Hop thread, if the board offers such a place. Do not post a message everytime you hop for it tends to upset the Admins when they see that a bunch of useless messages is their most popular forum.
3. Please look at each board and try to find, at least, one forum per board which interests you. The purpose of this hop is to promote the other boards, and we do realize that not every board is for everyone... but we can make the attempt to find something we like.
4. Please do not leave nasty messages on the forums of the boards you visit... this includes the board hop. If you abuse the hop, you will be reported to Proboards.
