As time goes on and the resurrection of MSPAF looks less and less likely, the read me that just says "The rules are the same as on the MSPA Forums" isn't gonna cut it. Not that I know how to fix this or what to suggest (it'd be nice if someone had archived the rules somewhere but I doubt they have), but I just figured it's something worth noting.
TBH I made this post because I saw a couple of newbies doing the thing where they make their post like 10 point purple comic sans or whatever again and I was gonna tell them that was against the rules but then I was like wait, we kinda don't really have any rules or moderation of any kind set up period beyond "just use common sense". Which is fine for now, but if this forum is active for much longer (and at this point I might continue to come here even if the MSPA Forums go back up just because I've grown to like it) we need to think long-term.

I wasn't sure, since I'd heard that there were a ton of problems with the Wayback Machine trying to archive the forums and failing.
Still, that's good to know. It should probably be copied into the new forums as best as it can – changing parts that don't apply, of course.

It doesn't have to be exactly the same as the fora since it isn't connected in any official capacity. Though I wonder if the OmegaUpdate name seem ill fit in the future. |

Even as a temporary forum, if we gain enough members too quickly there will inevitably be a need for moderators. That might need to be discussed as well at some point. |

I've made a proper announcement on the rules now, thanks for the suggestion. For now I've for the biggest part copied the rules from the MSPA Forums, but I'm willing to discuss in case people would like something different. |
