Shameless Self-Promotion

1. Brand New Fanlistings!,
2. Moved and Adopted Fanlistings,
3. New Layouts and Codes,
4. FL Collectives and Existing Fanlistings,
5. Affiliate Requests,
6. Members Lists Lost,
7. Other Network Promotion

This forum contains several sub-forums in which you can promote your own fanlistings/collectives and request affiliates. Please note that this forum is just for the promotion of TFL-approved fanlistings and your fanlisting collectives, not other listings. However, you may include other listings in a post that is mainly about TFL-listed fanlistings. Please follow our Thread Limits rule when posting in any of the sub-forums.

Downtime and Host Trouble

This forum can be used to announce to visitors any downtime at your fanlistings or collective. Posting here does not guarantee you will not be troubled. If you have fanlisting downtime, we strongly advise you to contact us directly about your downtime/host troubles so we can inform the staff.

Direct-Linkers and Copycats

The majority of us hate it when we discover one of our fanlisting's codes have been direct-linked or someone has copied one of our layouts, so in order to put a stop to it, you are free to post links to the bandwidth/layout-stealing culprits in this forum! Post the direct-linkers in the masterlist to keep an updated list.

This forum cannot be used to ask for fanlistings or for listings not listed at TFL (if you are adopting out several TFL fanlistings you may inlcude non-TFL listings in that post).
Please note, only original posters are allowed to reply to their own topics.

Off-Topic Chat

1. Fandom Chat,

4. Off-Topic Archive

Since this board was created in July 2003, the members have formed a fairly close-knit community. Although the main theme here is the subject of fanlistings, we all want to talk about off-topic stuff sometimes, so these few forums were created to enable this to happen. :)
