Hello, I just signed up for a silver package and I did not buy a domain name. I'm use to using GeoCities and it was simple and straight forward. Since I did not purchase a domain will I have a problem setting up my site? I read that I won't be able to use my site for about 24 hours I think because it has to switch or something. Can anyone show me how to once it has been set up? I signed up under www.duroe.com Any help will be appreciated. Sincerely, Duroe

I meant about copyright's, and thanks for the offer of help. I may take you up on it. I think I have enough info now where I probably will sign up. Thanks everyone Duroe

Thanks for all the quick responses to my post! I'll take care with what images I do decide to use. In regards to roms I'm not sure they are all illegal. If that were true then FilePlanet would be shut down because they do offer roms on old systems no longer in production. I don't plan on offering pirated material, I just notice that on the web there is not much info on the old systems I grew up with. Thats why i'm posting here to be educated before I decide to spend money and time setting up a site for people like me. I love to play and I have other hobbies as well. Sincerely, Duroe

Hello again, Not a problem about asking them first. But what about screenshots that I create in game? That is an option in the game and it is something that I plan to use to a point. So for me to use that image that I created in game would be at there discretion then? Also if possible can you give me a link where I can get more info in regards to use of images and so forth on this message board. I just want to put up a small website and don't want lawyers or anyone else coming after me. Thanks again, Duroe

Hello, I checked you guys out and I like what I see. I have a question in regards to copyrights and so forth. If I run a gaming website, for example" Medal of Honor, Allied Assault" Will I get in trouble for using pics from EA and other places? Also I may want to host files of custom maps and so forth. Is this ok? I don't want to work on the site and then have it shut down for breaking the rules! Finally what is the stance on old roms of games that are no longer in production? Can those be put up as well? I know its illegal for all the emulated stuff on the new systems thats why I'm asking. Sincerely, Duroe
