Attention, Members
Hey everyone at the Flux! We are going to be relocating our forum! Zetaboards has treated us well over the years, but we've decided that moving to another service is what is best for us now. As members, you are free to begin moving your RPs and whatever else you will want to. If you have questions or need help moving, please reach out to Red November, Shine, or Spire (you can usually find one of us down in the cbox)!
You can find more information HERE
You can find the Flux's new site HERE!

Welcome to the Flux!
We're a single-thread RPG/Creative Writing/Arts/hang out and chat forum! We welcome anything you've got to show us, from arts, crafts, graphics, sprites, to fanfic, original stories, novels, short stories, to RPGs, or if you just want to hang out and chat with us, you're more then welcome. We offer a variety of boards across the forum, so you're sure to find a place to fit in somewhere.
More of the lurker type? I'm sure you'll find some good browsing material! But please don't be a stranger, head down to find the source of that incessant clicking: The C-box. You're sure to find someone to chat with there!
The Flux was built by a former RPG-community, so expect lots of activity there. However, after we moved on from our last site we decided to expand.
We have a helpful, dedicated staff, ready and willing to answer questions, or offer help with whatever you need, whenever you need it.
So don't be shy, come on in, introduce yourself, and become a part of our laid-back community. But don't forget to look over the rules. |

Welcome to The Flux. Read our rules prior to posting in any thread, topic, and etc. Not reading the rule is not an excuse not to follow them!
Please note, due to ZetaBoards Terms of Service, we do not allow any members under the age of 13 to Register. If you are found out to be under the age of 13, you will be banned from The Flux, until such a time where you reach the age of 13.
Please note that this site is targeted towards people 16+, but we will allow 14-15 year olds. Some materials may be suggestive, but ultimately, will be safe. Expect written violence, gore, blood, etc. Though it is not always the case. Most writings containing this material will contain a warning.
Staff Here are your lovely staff members; feel free to bother them with questions! Admins -Spire -Shine
Global Moderators -Delta -Elixir -Digimaster64
If you think anyone is breaking the rules, whether it's your GM, player, or even another staff member, please let a staff member know and we'll sort it out. Note that this applies only to the forum rules - unless an RP is directly breaking a forum rule, its rules are the jurisdiction of its GM.
1. Three-Strikes Rule This is the basis of our rule system. It's basically three-strikes you're out. If you break one of our rules, we will give you one strike, and continue that until you reach three. At three, you will get a temporary ban, length decided on what you did wrong. If you continue to break rules, over and over, it will eventually be turned into a permanent ban.
2. Posting Literacy At this site, we pride ourselves on the fact we can all read and write. Not everyone speaks/writes perfect English, and that's okay. All that is asked is that you do your best when it comes to writing. Keep sentences complete, and moderately spelled well. Most browsers have built-in spell checks, so it shouldn't be an issue.
L33T/Chat Speak If anyone is caught writing in an overabundance of 1337/chat/general lazy-speak, you will be asked to correct it. Doing it now and again is already, so long as you keep on topic, and the speak readable. An entire post with the words 'i b gone for weekend, plz dont ban me!!!!!!@!@!@!!!!' will be promptly deleted, and you'll possibly be warned.
Length and Spacing Keep your posts at least a couple sentences long, though less than that is okay for response to general discussion threads, and what not. But please try to give your posts meaning! As for spacing, trying to double-space between all paragraphs (example in the rules itself. Enter 2x after each paragraph) - this makes it far easier to read.
Emoticons Try to avoid using so many. The board is limited to five (5) emoticons per post, so that should curb the spam of those cheesy little faces.
3. Board Rating The board is rated PG-13 overall. Though, as stated above, there may be some graphic/violent situations within writing materials found on the site. Normally they are noted via 'warning'. However, graphic pornographic material, be it written or drawn, is not allowed on the site itself.
You may link to these materials offsite, so long as they have some artistic merit. But please make a clear note that they contain NSFW materials, if that is the case. If you do not note them, links will be deleted, or asked to change to reflect that warning. Dependent on the situation, strikes may be permitted.
Cursing Honestly it's not minded within site. Try to keep yourself to some degree of professionalism. Cursing out, or deprecating members is most certainly not allowed.
4. Respect Everyone deserves a chance at respect. So be respectful to your fellow members. Remember, people have their own opinions on everything and oftentimes they differ. For respectable disagreements, take it to the debate section on the forum. If it escalates, and turns into Flaming (downright slamming, or verbally abusing members), action will be taken.
Any sort of discrimination (outside of character), will certainly not be tolerated. Most members who discriminate will be flat-out banned, forgoing strike. If anyone finds anything offense, please discuss with a mod. However, considering this is an artistic/creative forum, some creations might byy their nature offend you - there's always a fine line. You are free to ask/discuss with staff if you question something.
5. Media Video If you have a video, please link to it offsite. Embedding from Youtube, Hulu, etc, is allowed. NSFW video is not allowed.
Roms/Torrents/Illegal Downloads These are absolutely not allowed. Nor is discussing where/how/what dealing with them. Any links to these sorts of sites will be promptly deleted (on site or in-cbox), and you will receive a strike. Talk about any sort of material as though you actually own them. Reason for this is we do not want to see The Flux deleted due to something so silly.
6. Signatures and Avatars Avatar settings are currently 150(w) x 200(h). Images are auto-re sized though.
Signatures, limit yourself 2-3 smaller images. We don't want someone's signature to have to be scrolled past. Nor do I want to see an abundance of gifs/animations. It can be a real pain to deal with that on a slower connection. As far as length, try not to exceed 300ish height. Width should be 500px max.
7. Cbox The cbox is where we all live a place for online members to chat! It's primarily used for when members are bored, and just want to chat. Same rules on-board apply to the cbox. However, most literacy rules are a bit void. Please do try to make it readable at least.
- No Impersonating Staff - if you do, expect strikes.
- No Debating in the Cbox - take it to the Serious Discussion.
- No flaming/arguments - if a discussion escalates into a fight, both offenders will be banned for a set-amount of time. After things have settled, the ban will be lifted.
[*]Don't advertise other sites in the Cbox - we have a Forum for that.
8. Images Expect images all over. If you link to an offsite image, please avoid direct linking, either by pasting the url as an image code, or sending a link right to the image itself. Only do this with image-hosting sites, such as photobucket, or imageshack. For things like deviantART, Zerochan, or whatever else, this is how they should be linked.
Also, remember, give credit where credit is due.
Falsely claiming work as your own will result in a strike--possibly a ban.
9. Plagiarism Plagiarizing of any sort, writing, drawing, graphics, etc, will NOT be tolerated. Users doing this will be reported to original artists, and either given strikes or bans. Do not falsely claim a work of art as your own. Using images as a character appearance is not classified as stealing, just make sure to give some credit to the original artist.
10. RPG Rules The RPG section of the forum has its own rules. Refer to them here, before joining any of our RPGs.
