The rules are very clear about posting a link with links to other games. Rome also used to have Darkon on their website before Dominus got banned from Darkon, and now that can get you banned for mentioning it too, and that IS foam-fighting. The true answer is that, as usual, the rules don't apply to those who make or enforce them, just to everyone else.
As far as me getting banned, I know why I got banned, and no, it didn't come as a huge shock. I'm not particularly offended by it, simply adding my name to the list of those banned for BS reasons (whether in keeping with the rules or traditions of the Dag admins) from the Dag forums. Though I'm a little peeved at how many people seem to see me as "starting a boycott," rather than simply responding to what I perceived as someone trying to get Lu Bu's shield-bashing class banned with an IF that happens then THIS will be the consequence.
Either way, this thread has been eye-opening. As usual, one of the newer (to the DBGA administration positions) and more reasonable BoD folks (Blackhawk) is trying to be reasonable and fair and explain the way things are the way they are. But the more he talks the more he makes the Dag administration seem petty and as if it's run by a bunch of 8 year olds.
Also, NO, someone outside of Aratari can't sit on the BoD. It is, after all, the ARATARI BOARD OF DIRECTORS. Not the DBGA BoD with members from several realms. And that's my biggest beef with the way Dag is run.
