Quick question:
I’m posting in the “Black Rifles” thread in MPSIMS, and was going to drop a link to another message board that some of the other thread postees might take interest in.
Granted that I’ve heard rumors & stories about other boards attempting some sort of ‘war’ on this board and others related to the SDMB . . .
Granted that I wouldn’t post a link to any porn boards or politically/racially obnoxious boards, anything in obviously poor taste, or a link to anything just plain dumb. . .
And granted that if somehow from that board sees my post, and all of a sudden, 15 kabillion people start using the brand-new v3 Boards, I don’t wanna give the hamsters a heart attack (or any undue/unwanted notoriety) . . .
What’s the lowdown? Are there written rules? Just curious.
And the site, alpha-phonetically, is Alpha Romeo 1 5 ‘dot com’ (if you needed to check it out).

Just wonderin’.
We would hope at the very least that our members would use their common sense as well as their good manners when slinging our name and links to this board on other boards.
I’m sure the administration at other boards would wish for the same when you are here.
There are all kinds of boards in cyberspace, encompassing the range of opinions and preferences of all humankind. Some track very nicely with us; others, the prevailing opinions are going to vary, sometimes greatly so.
We do ask that you show consideration to them and to us. Be on your best behavior in all circumstances and in all places. If you disagree with the opinions somewere else, do not use this board to overly state your case.
Most of all, don’t pick fights with people from other board communities and then drag it over here.
Make sense to you? Any further questions?

Yep. What I’m readin’ is: Go ahead and mention a board’s (in good taste) existence, but problems and fights that occur on a board, stay on that board.
Much obliged.

Like I said before, just curious.
This brings up a thought related to MPSIMS game threads:
Is it okay to mention on the SDMB that I’ve started a game thread on another board that encourages game threads? A game that was a hit in MPSIMS, until it (a) died out on its own, or (b) got locked because it had grown too large?
I’m not thinking of starting a thread here just to say “Come play with me in this forum on that board”. But is it okay to mention it in the course of posting in a thread where I know a number of Dopers who like such games are participating? Example:
I make my once-a-day post in the new word morphing thread in MPSISM. After adding my twist, and offering a new word to morph, I say something like, “BTW, I’m playing games like this in the XYZ forum at BBBBoard and you guys might like to come over and check it out.”
Is that okay?
