Hello, hello, hello~


Recommended Posts

Hello there everybody! Dear god, it's been such a long time since I've been on a proper ERP forum site. Honestly, this place looks amazing. 

What to say? Hmm~

Well, I've recently started college. Things are going well in that regard~ ^_^ 

I'm mainly here for the Roleplaying side of things, just so you know. 

I typically roleplayed via chat, but with college starting my schedule has been a bit too demanding for that. I often don't have several hours at a time to devote to it. So being able to reply to a post whenever I have the time is very helpful. I don't have to give up my favorite 'extra-curricular' activity, and I still get to keep my grades up. Yay! 

I saw that the site doesn't allow hotlinking, but you've got your own imagehosting. Which is great. I do have a gallery of rather suggestive (and sometimes explicit) reference images for Roleplaying purposes. I'm curious what the upload limit is for these things however since my gallery has 500+ pieces of 'inspiration' in it at the moment. Since I'm new here, I don't want to do something wrong~ No good getting in trouble in my first week! 

I, as a player, am a very friendly and open person. Or at least I do my best to be. As a character, well... I can often be less so. So I mean, feel free to ask me anything you'd like. I'm open to answer most things, even political and religious ones. Everyone has an opinion after all. 

Other than that, well... I can't really think of much else to say about myself beyond this point. I'm going to go explore the site a bit more and work on my character profile page thingy~

Welcome to the site, Trianna.
We're not primarily an image hosting site, but you can upload images for use on ED. Although it is subject to change, there's no limit currently; though we would prefer you not upload anything too excessive in size or quantity.
If you need help with anything else, don't hesitate to ask.
Hope you enjoy your stay, and looking forward to seeing you around on the site.

Sweet Dreams~

Thank you all very much. I appreciate the welcome. 
I will attempt to not upload too excessively~ I'll try to keep it only to the images relevant to my current roleplaying advert. 
I know hotlinking isn't allowed, but would it be acceptable if I put up a non-hotlinked url to my Imgur albums for those who might be interested? That way I don't worry about overloading the system!  At least while I'm still uploading images piecemeal to the gallery here as I go along.

Firstly, welcome to EcchiDreams @Trianna. I hope you're having a great time here, and continue having said great times to come, here or not. 😀

IMGur is an image hosting site, and I don't want to speak for them, but I believe you can share the image URL's from that site to embed on anywhere you please. I think that's how it works, you'd need to read IMGur's ToS (Terms of Service) on that matter.

However we are okay with images posted in topics and such that are uploaded to other sites, just as long as they're okay with it of course.

Hotlinking in this context means taking images uploaded to EcchiDreams (The site where no hotlinking is allowed) and pasting it on other sites, because it's a drain on our bandwidth which we'd rather serve to the people who are actually on and using this site, if that makes sense. You are allowed; as long as you're allowed by the image hoster you're using, to hotlink images to here... This is so long as that site allows that. 

The Gallery here, as SMFoxy has pointed out is for use for images on EcchiDreams; meaning we use our limited space and bandwidth to serve all the Dreamers here. As such images posted here shouldn't be served from here to every other website, because it's meant to be for this community. Some people have problems finding a suitable image hosters, some don't do porn, some don't do certain other things, some even routinely delete or limit images after a certain length of time. Disclaimer: I'm not saying Imgur does or doesn't any of these, by the way. I don't use the service, I wouldn't know.

The Gallery is kind of a way for Dreamers to not worry about images being broken or lost, for their character ID's and extra informations on EcchiDreams, (So long as the image doesn't violate our Terms of Service.) 

I hope that's cleared up any confusion... I'm not exactly great at wording things.

Learning something new already. @Temaelrin seems like a very useful feature. 

I juuuust saw the "Insert Image from URL" feature a couple seconds ago as I was starting up my first Private Roleplaying Bulletin/Advert thingy~ Which is super useful. 

When I initially saw the "no hyperlinks" rule, my brain just shut down any thought of including anything from outside the site. I'm not exactly the most tech savvy person in the world. :p

But yes, Imgur is used for precisely that. I'll likely be using it quite profusely~

That is absolutely fine, @Trianna.

Just please observe our Terms of Service on this matter, for example we do allow Gay/Het/Yuri/Yaoi and even Furry.

But we do not allow Gore/Bestiality/Toddlercon/Lolicon/Shota and other depictions of minors who are nude or in sexual situations. That's either being posted up from another site, or uploaded to ours.

Yes. I was careful to read over what was and wasn't allowed. So don't worry! ^_^ I don't have any interest in any of the things listed in the No section.

I did see that there was a difference between Bestiality and Monsters mentioned. So, I assume some big, be-tentacled creature would be okay. Just no real-world animals, correct?

Basically, exactly that. We apply "Bestiality" pretty strictly to real animals. Mutations such as appear in Fallout, or things like Pokémon, and stuff like that, that tag doesn't really apply to. At least, that's how I believe the rule is. Can @Temaelrin confirm this for me, or correct me if I'm wrong?
