We developed this site with the animator in mind. The Don Bluth Animation Forum provides a venue which allows visitors and members to communicate, explore and learn on a professional level. By registering as a member on this site, you agree to abide by the following Terms and Conditions and General Forum Rules as indicated below.

Although the Administrators and Moderators of the Don Bluth Animation Forum will attempt to keep all objectionable and offensive messages off these forums, it is impossible for us to review all messages immediately. All content within the threads on Don Bluth Animation express the views of the author, and not the owners of the site. Don Bluth Animation will not be held responsible for the content of any message.

Forum Rules

1) Use the search function before posting. Chances are your question has already been answered.
2) Keep the focus: Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved, locked or simply be deleted.
3) Do not post Unethical, disrespectfull and shocking material.
4) Be nice to each other and respect the moderator. Profanity and insults will not be tolerated. If you have a problem with another member turn to the respective moderator and if the moderator can't help you send a private message to Don Bluth Animation.

5) Do not spam. No blatant advertising.
6) No warez, cracks, serials or illegally obtained copyrighted content! Links to content of a questionable nature, asking for, offering, or asking for help/helping to process such content in any way or form is not tolerated.

7) Keep the size of personal images down.
8) No cross posting. Post your message once, to the appropriate forum and nowhere else or it will be locked or deleted without warning.
9) Use a title that describes the content of your post. Don't use all caps or special characters to draw attention.
10) Do not send questions pertaining to topics of discussion on this board via personal messages or email to Moderators or Admins, they will be ignored.
11) Don't post just to increase your number of posts. If you have nothing to say on a certain matter then don't post. The number of posts on this board has no direct relation to the experience of a member.

12) How NOT to post on this forum:
5 minutes after your initial post you reply to your own post writing something like "Why is nobody helping me? I'm sure you know the answer". Once somebody replies to your thread but doesn't give you exactly the answer you've been expecting you insult them.
Do not ask "what's best" because this question cannot be answered objectively. Each and everyone has their own view about what's best in a certain area. The best is what works best for you!
13) The official language is English. Outside the translator forum English is the only allowed language.
14) Multiple registrations are prohibited and are grounds for immediate account deletion.
15) Political discussion not directly related to Animation issues are prohibited, as is any discussion on religion and religious matters.
16) Instructions by the moderator team are to be followed.

If you don't comply with these rules you'll have to face a set of sanctions (http://www.donbluthanimation.com/forum/forum_sanctions.htm).
A note about attachments: Each attachment has to be validated by a moderator to ensure no unwanted content is being posted. Therefore your attachments won't be visible immediately after you upload, but only after a moderator has checked them which can take some time.

We reserve the right to change these forum rules at our discretion.
