About Chat
Chat is live, interactive communication. Chat is organized into "rooms", some of which are provided by the server's owner such as Excite, Webcrawler, ChatCity etc. and some of which are created or selected by members. Except in special Chat events, Chat postings are not saved. Use common sense when you are "chatting": don't give out personal information to strangers or accept files from people you don't know. If you don't find a discussion you like, start your own!

MORE QUESTIONS ANSWERED:

HOW CAN I GET LISTED ?

Every Virtual Places Site that has some avatars and / or gestures can ask to be added.
The site will be reviewed by me ASAP, to make sure it is a VP site and then added.
Every single Chatroom for VP can be submitted accordingly to the categories, chat client and chat topic.
Only real VP-rooms can be submitted and will be accepted. There is NO limit in the number of chatrooms you can submit.
These sites will not be listed because we want to provide INSTANT access to VP Stuff - no more, no less.
Virtual Places Stuff reserves the right to downturn any submission without giving a reason. You have no rights whatsoever for a listing, even if your site fits into a category.

DO I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING IN RETURN ?
NO. You do not have to put up a banner, picture or link to the site.
Sure, VPS does provide some logos, banners and html code for linking back to my site and we really appreciate every link back (html Code provided here) since it helps both sites: Linking back enables your visitors to vote for your site what gives you a higher ranking and in return more traffic from my site.
If you submitted your site you might get a review in my newsletter. Each time some sites are picked (about five) more or less random and reviewed them with a short note. It can be a good one if the site is good and if you just have say 3 gestures we will say that there are only three... no good review can be bought from vplaces.net. It's an independent review.

WHAT ABOUT THE USED MATERIAL?
The creation of avatars and gestures for Virtual Places usually contains the usage of 3rd party material. If vplaces.net created the material we try to get the consent, however this is not always possible. If we are posting 3rd party creations, the same applies. The usage of these creations is not intended or made for commercial usage but only for usage in chats, as is passing those images.
vplaces.net does not sell the creations or access to them. vplaces.net does not pay for them to the creators of the material. Please consider the creations as appreciation of the work done. The restricted space of 48x64 leaves no possibility for a visible copyright quote, however if you own used material, you can contact vplaces.net and the material will be removed without question or if preferred a copyright notice will be published on the site(s) in question.
vplaces.net would like to stress that the act of distribution is for personal usage solely.

CAN I LINK TO ANY OF YOUR PAGES?
We appreciate linking to vplaces.net, but since I use frames we must ask you to only link to http://www.vplaces.net/, if you link to other pages the link will be automatically redirected.
For other linking we will provide you with special URL's.

CAN I COPY YOUR CONTENT?
We have nothing against cooperation BUT DO ASK FIRST. Saves us a lot of stress and will for sure not result in a *no you can't do that*. We will take the question as a compliment ;).
But if you do, we will ask you to pay credits. With logo linking to vplaces.net and / or a notice stating:
