Rules and Information

[Firecakes]

Hello! This is a forum for people to share their personal websites (Cakelandish and otherwise), and to talk and learn about indie web development. I do not have the capacity to moderate threads outside of these topics so the purposes of this forum will remain pretty specific for now. Although my experiences with forums is minimal, I figured the knowledge accrued will still be better off on here than on Yet Another Discord Server.

Currently every registration will be manually approved, and with a simple question to answer before being allowed an account, to help prevent bots. After registration, you will be expected to abide by the following rules for the forum:

• Respect or toleration of all other registered members is a must. No harassment is allowed to other members and no topics dedicated to hating on any groups or individuals are allowed either. This especially includes harassment towards queer and minority groups.
• Civil disagreements are okay, but no "superiority" contests are permitted (ex. arguing over which client framework or library is the best). I expect more nuanced discussions of what the positives and negatives are of each choice if such a topic were to be made.
• No generative AI of any kind is allowed on the forums. This includes comments, topics, images, and help that used generative AI to be created, even with partial human intervention.
• Sexually explicit and pirated content are not permitted. As for everything else, use best judgement. I may refine this rule later depending on what happens.
• In addition to these rules, you also agree to follow the more specific rules posted under each category when posting there.
• You acknowledge that all information here is publicly accessible to the entire internet: guests are allowed to search all topics and users here for information.

That's it! I hope you get something useful out of participating here.
