Foxystoat is an online community founded in 2005 to create a place with a laissez faire attitude where people can share stories, tell a joke, or ask questions about pretty much anything.

The main feature of the community is a largely public forum with places to discuss games, music, sports, or pretty much anything. Places to tell jokes, and places for serious discussions.
Apart from the forum, Foxystoat also offers an arcade with loads of games, a bookies, and even a casino.

Originally named Plastic Brilliance, a need for a new name arose in 2008. After lots of debate the name Foxystoat was chosen.
Inspiration for the name comes from the tv show Bottom. See this clip: Bottom on Youtube

We sincerely hope we don't need any rules, however we do have a set of guidelines. Generally we want you to have fun and respect your fellow users.

Despite the lack of rules, we reserve the right to ban anyone who does not adhere to our guidelines, or who we believe has malicious intent to disrupt the smooth running of the site.

The above is valid for all sections of the site. Certain areas may have additional guidelines. Please see the appropriate section of the FAQ for these additional guidelines.

If you are unsure about what is seen as acceptable behaviour on a forum, feel free to read up on netiquette, or contact one of the moderators/administrators.

Obviously, adult images in the restricted access forum are acceptable. It's common sense not to go there at work/uni/school etc. Threads there needn't be tagged [NSFW] as you should assume none of them are safe.
All other forums should be kept "clean" where possible. That doesn't mean we've suddenly become killjoys out to spoil your fun. You can still post almost anything as long as you follow simple rules...
If a thread is tagged [NSFW], people know what to expect - post what you like. However, if you decide to defile a clean thread with various images, you need to warn people of this. This means not using the [img] tag (just post the link), and surrounding it with the :NSFW: smiley (NSFW with 2 colons : around it). When a mod sees this they may retag the thread NSFW and put your image in the [img] tags.
You can use the [img] tags if you also use the [spoiler] tags as well. This will hide your images until the spoiler notice is clicked and hides inappropriate content from those who don't wish to see it.

If an image is publicly hosted (imageshack, photobucket, your own webspace etc) there is no need to unparse the link.
Please don't hotlink/deeplink images from sites that do not match the previous description. Not only will this result in stealing bandwidth and unhappy site owners, it often results in images not showing for others, and links that die quickly.
If you want to link to an image on such a site, please unparse* the link You could also copy those images from other sites to imageshack, your album on Foxystoat, or create a gallery on creepandpeep's site.
For more information on using creepandpeep's gallery, see: Public hosting thread

*To do this, go advanced and uncheck the "automatically parse links" tickbox under the post. You may also need to edit out the [url] tags if the board has already added them.

Avatars are visible in all forums so anything non-worksafe is not allowed.

If in doubt, we recommend you ask a moderator/admin before posting.

Users are reminded that by clicking "quick links" at the top of the page, and then "edit options", they can turn off the display of avatars and/or images if they are considered inappropriate for your current location.

The Serious Discussions forum (SD) is intended to be a place with higher standards than the rest of the board.

As a place for serious discussions, we do not allow personal insults on this forum, and swearing in general is discouraged.

Topics that are not suitable for this forum, or posts that are off-topic will be moderated. The posts or threads will be either edited, moved, or deleted, as the admin/mod sees fit.

Please read the following thread for more information or to discuss the SD guidelines: SD rules

A special kind of thread on SD are the so called policy threads.
Read what these special threads are here: Policy threads explained
Or find policy threads by following this link: Policy threads

We don't intend for NSFW to just to be a porn forum. It's now the one place you have complete freedom to post absolutely anything (legal). It's obviously not a forum you should visit in public/at work/school etc (unless you work in a cool place like Minty). Basically any thread that you'd make elsewhere that would have required a NSFW tag in the title should now ideally be posted there instead. (If you think it's beneficial to post a nsfw pic in a thread on another part of the forum, never use [img] tags, just post it as a link with :nsfw: smileys before and after it, or better still, use the [spoiler] tag to hide it until clicked and clearly indicate the nature of the content in accompanying text.)

Access to the NSFW forum is limited. Members who are not at least 18 years old, or who have made no, or only a few posts will not be allowed in. If you do not fail to match these requirements, you can apply to join the NSFW group. To do that click the link below:
***click here***

It's straightforward* and painless, and something you only have to do once. You need to click the little round "join group" button on the right, before clicking the main "join group" button beneath. Then you have a short wait until we notice you've asked, and process your request.

*though if do you get stuck/confused, just PM an admin or Robin and they'll sort it out for you :)

Guys, girls, Jonny.

We've registered an IRC channel. For those of you who don't know what IRC is, it stands for Internet Relay Chat and is essentially a group based version of MSN. Kinda.
The concept is, we have a channel, #foxystoat to be precise. When you log into an IRC network you can join this channel. Everyone types in the one window and converstation ensues.

Server details:
irc.netgamers.org
Channel name is #foxystoat

When you join the network, use the command '/j #foxystoat' without the apostrophe's to join the Plastic Brilliance channel.

You can use an IRC client like mIRC or use the IRC client on the site, accessible on the navbar, or by clicking here. (Requires Java).

So, get online and chat.
