Ok, I'm going to explain to those people on pcg that was always asking me why make another petz forum when there's already one called pcg. first off all, this is not just a petz forum, its for everything and anything you want, if you want some pets stuff on tc, its going to be on tc, all you have to do is just post a topic about your new forum idea in the "suggestions" area and I'll take a look at it and if its something that is not on tc already, most likely it'll be added.

everything below is cut in to parts (1,2,3,4)

why tc was made(1)
first of all, I was on PCG for about or almost 2 years or so and I wanted a forum for people to have fun on and enjoy, so I posted on pcg about it, a lot of people was complaining about me making a forum, like they were saying why make another petz forum when there's already one, pcg is the best and no one can beat pcg, I'm not trying to beat pcg or be better then pcg or anything like that all, that's not even close to why I made this forum in the first place. I made this forum because I wanted a forum and a forum for people to have fun and enjoy like they do on pcg.

why so much less rules on tc(2)
I don't like to cut peoples freedom on my forum and I don't want to have a lot of rules to remember so I know if some one is not following them (I just have to remember 4 rules instead of like 10-15 and up like most forums).

And all of the thanks goes to liz on pcg for helping me to get started on running a forum. There isn't really much to say about how tc got its name. it all started over at PCG like anything else at pcg and tc helped created by PCG, I had a lot of hard time trying to find a name for my forum, so PCG gave me an idea for a name, so I saw "community" in pcgs name and I thought about using it and now I got this thought, I need to add something to that and cant be just "community" so I thought long and hard some more and "the" kept popping up in my head as I was trying to think, so I put the two words together and I liked it and it was the only forum name that I could think of, maybe I could have went by my site name "sawdust" at some point if I have used the name of my pet site name, I would just put it on the same server as my pet site and just put like "sawdust.vndv.com/forum" note. this is not a url to anything (just an example).

I just thought I might post this so you guys know how tc got here and why I made a forum for ^_^.

well it all starts on pcg, and I posted somewhere on pcg (cant remember where on pcg right now) about me wanting a forum, and a lot of people replied to my thread saying things like why make another forum when no one is going to join on another forum?, pcg is the only forum that I like and pcg is the best forum out there or something like that, but they said something like that, they also said, no one can beat pcg, and I said I'm not trying to beat pcg, I just want a forum for people to have fun on and enjoy, that's all I'm trying to do, nothing more, so now you know why I made tc, that was why I made my forum, now for how tc got here, well it all started on pcg with one person on pcg "liz", just gave me a url to get a free pre made,hosted forum and I looked in to it, joined to get my forum and then "grace" said on that thread, I don't think shes going to be much of help, she just gave you a link, I think she said more then that but that's how much I remember of what she said, I replied to "grace" saying well at least she's trying to help and she's the only one that is trying to help, then after a while, I got about 25 members and they weren't doing anything or if they were doing stuff, it wasn't much, and then I wanted to get this kind of a forum, where you download a forum package (like pcg) then unzip if not already unziped, then find a host with good bandwidth and disk space and then upload all files to the server and then start the installation process like connecting the forum to the database and stuff and then edit/delete some files/folders and then start adding content (forums and your rules and banner etc) and this is the first forum that I can backup the database. I gotta work on getting moderators at some point (I'm thinking when i get about 10-25 members or if the members start posting hot and heavy sooner). I don't have many friends and that would not want to be a moderator on this forum :/, so I may have to see who I can trust more.

tc rules(4)
You must read and agree to all tc posting rules before posting in any forum on tc.
you will be banned if I warned you too many times, (I'll warn you if this is my finale warning)
I'll ban you for a short time (maybe 2-5 hours to show you that I mean it if I warned you the 2nd time).


my main focus is on these rules

1 no spamming others on tc, in topics/posts.
2 no bullying other members.
3 no harassing other members in pm's/topics,reply's etc
4 no selling stuff for real money or anything that relates to being paid with real money.

if you're being harassed,bullied,spammed etc, please do us a huge favor by reporting these people and I'll contact that person/people to please stop bugging you (in a nice way along with a warning).
