Questions for the Senior Staff

All anonymous posts in this forum are moderated, which means that they will not appear until we have validated them.

General Questions and Discussion

If you have a fairly general, non-category-specific question relating to The Fanlistings Network, please post here. You can also use this forum to discuss existing rules or policies, make suggestions about the network/board and discuss things amongst yourselves. Please note that if your comments/suggestion is related to a specific existing category, you should post in that category's individual forum. Only post in this forum if you're willing to DISCUSS things with other board members! If you want a direct and straight-forward answer from a Senior Staffer, post in the Questions for the Senior Staff forum! Topics that have previously been discussed thoroughly or that require no additional discussion CAN AND WILL be closed by the Senior Staff.

Technical Support

If you need help accessing the network, the board, the mailing list or any of our other features, please post here. This forum is for problems directly related to The Anime Fanlistings Network only, not for personal technical queries!

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

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 TAFL-approved fanlistings and your fanlisting collectives, not hatelistings, non-anime/manga fanlistings or any other kind of site. Please refer to the board guidelines for specific information about posting adult related fanlistings.

Downtime and Host Trouble

If your fanlistings are moving servers or are going to be down for a significant period of time, please take the time to post here explaining the situation - it might save you a troubles email! We do, however, advise you to contact us directly as well.

Hosting for Fanlistings

Looking for someone to host your new/existing fanlistings? Or perhaps you have some space to spare and would like to host a fanlisting or two? Maybe you need advice on free/paid hosting services or want to tell people about an awesome deal? Post here!

Fanlisting Layouts and Graphics

Do you have a layout in mind but you're not sure if it'll work? Maybe you want to ask other people's opinions on a particular graphic or stylesheet? Post here to get feedback and constructive ideas!

Cross-Browser Compatibility

It is important that everyone is able to view our fanlistings, so please use this forum to discuss your layout's compatibility with other operating systems, browsers, and screen resolutions. You may also use this forum to discuss web standards, coding tips, validation, etc.

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!

Adoption Center

If you own a fanlisting you can no longer take care of and are looking for a new owner, make a post here (preferably with the subject of your fanlisting as the title of the post) and you may find someone who's interested!

Fanlistings Chit-Chat

1. Hot Topics

If you want to chat about something fanlistings-related that doesn't really fit into any of the other forums, please do so here! This could include asking questions about other people's fanlistings or chatting about some aspect of the network which doesn't require serious discussion. If you're looking for pictures, fonts, etc. and you need to ask for help, please use the WANTED! forum. :)
