In order to offset costs for running DA we have chosen to accept donations. Instead of accepting contributions and offering nothing extra in return, we've decided to create a special member group: DA Premium Members.

DA has grown greatly over the year+ since we've been around and with the growth comes a larger demand on our server and on our bandwidth. By becoming a DA Premium Member you help to ensure that DA can remain open, banner free, and running in a fast and stable environment.

With the help of some of our member base DA will be able to offer the same excellent service to all of our members while adding greater functionality to those who offer a donation.

A DA Premium Membership Requires:

Donations may be made via paypal.com to manu@discussanything.com Please be certain to include your DA Username and email address in the comments section of the PayPal window.

If posting an article to start a thread please observe the following guidelines:

~Quote PORTIONS of the article in your post
~Supply a direct link to the source article
~Give an opinion, comment, or question you have regarding the article

If the following are not done, we will close the post and remove it from our database.

If you are using an article in a response or a rebuttal:

~Quote portions or summarize the relevant pieces
~Link to the direct article
~Do not post entire articles as a response.

When posting an article please BOLD The important details. This is especially important when using an article for reference or to make a claim. (Not neccessary for thread starting articles, but appreciated.)

To Bold an area use {b} and {/b} between the words that will be bolded. (Changing {} with []).

We recently added the multi-quote feature. You may remember it from the previous version of vB software. It works exactly the same. There is a blank check box on the bottom right hand corner of every thread, near the edit and quote buttons. Simply check off the posts you want to quote and click on the "post reply" button. That's it.

Please make use of this feature as it really helps and ease the server when you combine multile posts into one post.

The Staff will be more then happy to give out "reminders" =]

Thanks, DA.com Staff

The system is a 6 strike system. There are different offenses we will be warning for including:

baiting
name calling
spaming
long post articles
OT/hijacking a thread

Each one will carry 1 warning, except for name calling which carries 2. At 6 warnings you receive a temporary ban for 5 days.

1. All old warnings have now been purged
2. Warnings will be given out more freely
3. We will try to get the 'first offender' in a thread, or we may attempt to get 'all offenders.'
4. We are NOT removing warnings over time.
5. We are removing the '3 temp bans = perma ban' idea - instead, you will keep getting temp bans, and we will permaban people at our option (enough offenses, severity of offenses)
6. We do not discuss warnings given out to other members or warnings we assign. If you have a problem with a warning YOU have, then PM the person who issued the warning. If you PM another admin, he may post the PM in the mod forum to discuss it or simply forward it to whomever warned you.

As of late, the sigs are really getting out of hand. When a sig takes up more lines then your post, it is too much.

We are asking members to reduce the size of your sig by:

-limit the number of lines to 10 or less

- if you have ONE picture, limit the size to 150x500 (approx banner size) or less

or

-you may have 3 smaller size pictures

Some people have sigs that are so long, they cause everything to shift over... not cool

If conditions get out of hand, the [img] code for signatures will be turned off.

Also, please think about the content of your sig. If it is meant to piss someone off, do NOT use it!


Thank you DA.com STAFF

A Note As to WHAT is EF
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Contrary to how it has been used, the EF isn't a 'anything goes, so lets be gross' forum. Its about explicit material and some sexual discussion.

This does not mean that funny (even gross) things cannot be posted, but the MAIN intent of the EF is for mature adult oriented/sexual discussion.

This means things like positions, fantasies, the vast majority of the posts that have been made.


To gain access to the forum, send a PM to Kraw, Red or Manu and answer these four questions :


A. Username

B. Date of birth, it must match the DOB in your profile. Must be over 18

C. Must have been a member for 2 weeks and have a minimum of 25 posts.

D. State that nudity and sexually explicit material does not bother you.
