Regulations for fansites?

Well then, if I am not allowed without permission who do I then turn to? I tried searching for a mailadress but I came up with nada

But frankly I'd just use the screenshots. It's common for fansites and I never heard that you can get sued for this.

Thank you Kolya. That was what I needed to hear :thumb:

Yeah, that sort of thing is perfectly fine under fair use. Sorry for not being more clear.

That is no choice really. This site has been something of a wish-project to me and now that I have it as a school assignment I might just as well make a good one

You know, when I first read this post, my first thought was to reply with: "If you're not convinced that you can make a truly good one, make sure not to show it to Hemebond. ;)"

A few hours later...

I'll stand-by with the validator. :rolleyes:

I thought Heme was making fun of this sex-thing he has with webstandards. Found it rather hilarious.
Anyway, make no mistake, the web-standards police is watching you! :sly:

I haven't seen it mentioned so ...

For current games (including those under development), the "official" game website might have a "fan kit" available for download with game backgrounds and other themed graphics for use in creating your fansite. It's quite common for many games, to make it easy for a fansite to have a themed look and feel.

You might want to poke around the Bioshock site and look for one.

Cheers,
