Here's the Rules
Here's the Rules
Here on the Rules page we strictly set down rule on your site for linking. If we link to your site, it must obey the following rules, otherwise know as the reasons your site will be rejected.
The machine your site might not be working properly.
Some connection along the way to your site might be down or not working properly.
Some of the text on your page be unreadable.
The color of your text and/or links may clash with the background you've chosen. This happens often with backgrounds that have varying colors or are animated.
Different lines of text are overlapping each other. This happens when your use of DHTML and/or CSS is faulty or isn't compatible with the browser.
Images and other things on your page are covering up the text. This also happens when your use of DHTML and/or CSS is faulty or isn't compatible with the browser.
Some of the images on your page are broken.
Do not use BMP or ART image files. These show up as broken in Netscape 4.x. Always use GIF or JPG images.
Also be sure that you upload your images in Binary and not ASCII mode.
Make sure there are no spaces in your image file's name. Netscape often shows them as broken.
Make sure to check the path to your image in your code. If the code is pulling the image from your hard drive, it'll look broken to everyone else.
Be sure to see if you remember to upload all the images you intended to.
Your page tried to load an image from a different server and couldn't find it. Always a good idea to keep all the images on your page on your actual server.
Your major links (links to the important sections of your site) are broken.
Announcing that some of your major links are broken is not enough. If they don't work, then don't link them.
Your site had nothing to do with anime, manga or japan.
Your page was almost or completely blank when loaded.
This almost always happens when your TABLES or FRAMES have been incorrectly coded. Run your page through an HTML Validator and follow its instructions to help fix the problem.
You typed in your link incorrectly when you submitted it.
The music on your page is too loud.
We always listen to music while we'r checking sites. If the music on your page is so loud that we can hear it above Led Zeppelin or DMX and I still rush to find the off button on your page because of the pain, you need to lower that volume.
Your page didn't load properly.
This can happen if the machine your page is on is having problems.
This can also happens if you're loading images or other things from a different machine. If that machine is down or having problems, you page may not load properly. Counters from other sites are notorious for keeping pages from loading properly.
This can also can happen if there's something wrong with your JavaScript or Java.
Your page took too long to load.
Your page is a 'coming soon' page.
If your site has nothing on it and says 'Come back later...', you get rejected. Submit it when you're actually ready.
Your page is an 'Anti-Netscape' page.
We've been coming across these more and more. If you won't even let someone into your site if they're using Netscape, then I won't add your site because I can't even see it.
Your page is 'moving soon'.
If it's moving soon then wait and submit it after the move. There's no point in linking a site that's going to be a dead link in two weeks time.
Your image or file names have spaces in them.
Be sure to include NO spaces in what you name your images and files. Netscape 4.x doesn't react well to spaces. The image usually shows as broken or the file as 'not found'.
You submitted your site in a category that wasn't accepting links that particular week.
If links are not being accepted in a particular category, it'll say so in a note about the pull down category menu as well as next to the category in the menu itself. For those people who couldn't bother to read such an obvious note: your site was rejected instantly!
Angelfire Reason
(Updated: April 23, 2001)
The page you created with their Basic Editor doesn't work.
If you create a page with Angelfire's Basic Editor and do not specify an extension, Netscape 4.x will not recognize your page as a web page, but just as text. Check out this test page with Netscape 4.x to see an example. Be sure to add the '.html' extension when creating pages with Angelfire.
NO HENTAI! This is very important. You may have links to pages that promote hentai, that's your buisness, but none on your page or in the link! Sorry, we here at Anime Domain don't aprove of pages like that. It's not that 'it'll harm little children's eyes, it's that we just don't view those sites.
So no hentai! Got it?
Fansub Distributors Reason
(Updated: June 11, 2001)
You're offering fansubs for distribution or trade which are owned by US companies.
As soon as a title is announced as being owned by a US company, it should be removed from your list immediately. Not two weeks from now...not the day before it's officially released...Right now.
If you want to keep up on what's been announced, take a look at the Grand High License List.
And for those who say "But there are distributors on your fansub page which are distributing or trading US owned titles!"....feel free to ask these people to stop distributing those titles and/or impress upon them the importance of supporting the companies that buy the rights to your favorite series.
You're offering fansubs as part of your store.
It doesn't matter if you're not making a profit from the fansubs. If you're a commercial entity, you should know better than to sell fansubs.
Your site is a 'trade only' site.
You'll need to be willing to help out your fellow anime fan and distribute tapes instead of just trading, if you wish to be listed in the Fansub Distributors area.
This page's deep, dark secret. . .
This page holds the key to the feature gallery two weeks from now! It's the key. . . oh key of clow! Power of magic. . .release the wand. . .the force egnite! Force, know my flight, release the light! Lightening! Power card, return to your power confide! Jump card, release and dispel! Jump card! Be careful, Sakura!
