We have a lot of policies and guidelines. It can be tough getting your head round them. As well as WP:EL which you've already been pointed to, WP:COI may prove relevant at some point. --Dweller (talk) 16:10, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

This is all very exhausting...
I really don't want to come across as being a pain in the bum, unfortunately I have symptoms of mild ADD/OCD and depression unfortunately and because of this I don't work. This means that I spend all my time on my website working with my staff members, the 360 Splurge is my baby and its great that I have big name Publishers (505Games, Codemasters, Eidos, Midway, THQ, Vivendi Games) helping me out (as in they send me games to review etc). Because I don't work I cannot afford to buy my own domain hence the URL is 360splurge.gooforum.com, its not actually a forum even though the URL suggests it (but there is a small forum on there). Its all hard to explain in one message.
I've tried reading those pages you linked me too multiple times but for someone like me its hard to take in.
I hate to ask but what CAN I do? I don't want to be like 'Oh this is my site join it, love me' etc etc as that would be silly.
Can I make a 360 Splurge page detailing what it is, where it started, etc but without suggesting that people visit it (if that makes sense?) in exactly the same way as other game sites have?
A very confused Clare.
