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!

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 ;).

you to pay credits. With logo linking to vplaces.net and / or a notice
