All images and graphics displayed on the Ponybox forums require readable credits. A text link to a graphic does not require any credits as long as
only the link is shown and the image does not display or open on the Ponybox forum.
Credits must be applied to displayed images and graphics using the following guidelines:
1 - All forum images and photos must display your Barn Name @ ponybox.com. For Example mybarn@ponybox.com
2 - On photos not taken by yourself you must also credit the owner of the photo.
2 - All graphics and photo manips must include credits for all sources. A manip is a photo that has been edited to alter the original
configuration of the photo to include different backgrounds or added objects that were not part of the original photo. All sources of the graphic or manip must be credited.
For example, if the graphic or manip included objects(background, lineart, brush) from 3 different people then you must credit each person on the image.
