Affiliate With UsAs you might have seen from our homepage, we love affiliating with people! It's a great way to make connections and get new members! We love to help other sites and see our own name up in lights on theirs!
As we've been running for quite a while - over a year now! - we have a large number of sites who have requested to be affiliates with Aeipathy. As such, some structure has been needed to put in place! So... Here are the different affiliate options we have and the rules that go along with them!
Sister Sites and Member AffiliatesThe first section of our affiliates are for sites that are run by one of our members (the member must be a member of the staff team on the other site) or have Aeipathy in a limited and clearly prominent position, separate from other affiliates. This can be called a Sister Site slot, or a Spotlight slot - whatever your site calls it. But if you have Aeipathy in this position, we'd be happy to place your image in ours too!
-- Staffer Is An Active Member On Aeipathy
-- Aeipathy Button Is Prominently Displayed.
Static AffiliatesTo become a static affiliate on our forum, you must have over 100 accounts on your forum. As it's hard to establish how many members a site has, we go on character accounts. Your account number must be displayed on your main page so that our moderators can easily check your statistics once a month. Our own affiliate image must also be clearly displayed in a static position. This can be at the top of bottom of the forum - we have no preference. But it must be in a static place of honour.
-- Over 100 Accounts.
-- Aeipathy Button In Static Position.
Scrolling Affiliates (First 10 Positions)To be one of the first ten icons in the scrolling affiliate rows (as these are seen first and foremost by our members and visitors), you must meet certain criteria. These positions are reserved for those who have posted Aeipathy's button in a static position on their own forum but do not meet the criteria of our static affiliate request. These buttons are constantly checked so that when these sites reach the 100 accounts requirement for a static position, they are automatically moved to our static rows. If your site only offers static positions and does not meet our requirements in turn, your button is guaranteed to be one of first ones seen in our scrollers.
-- Less Than 100 Accounts.
-- Aeipathy Button In Static Position.
Scrolling AffiliatesThe rest of our scrolling affiliate positions are open to any and all. You do not have to be open for a certain amount of time and you do not have to have a certain number of members. We are open to any and all!
-- No Site Restrictions

All AffiliatesPlease note that we have a few guidelines and rules that cover all of our requested affiliates. As we are a mature site, you must allow mature sites to advertise and affiliate with your forum. We do not require our affiliates to be mature forums. All affiliates must have our affiliate image/button in a place immediately viewable on the main page. Members and guests must not be required to move to a specific page or open a window or click a button in order to reveal the affiliates - it must be clearly displayed upon the page loading. We do not accept affiliates from anyone advertising pornographic or illegal content. We do not have any restrictions on hosters or server providers. We do not have any genre limitations. All affiliate buttons must be 88x31 pixels in size and open to CSS custom coding (as we give our affiliate images borders etc.)
-- Must Accept Mature Affiliates
-- Must Display Button On Immediate Page Load
-- No Hoster Restrictions
-- No Genre Restrictions
-- Must Not Support Illegal or Intensely Pornographic Content.
-- Button Must Be 88x31 Pixels

Becoming An AffiliateOur staff team are pretty quick on the uptake of new forums, which means its more likely for us to approach new affiliates than the reverse. However, if you are the first to approach us, or you require a change to be made to an affiliation you already have with us, please simply access our Discord server and post in the #affiliate-requests channel. You can do this as a Guest through our widget in the bottom left of our site. Or you can do it by
joining our Discord server. Entirely your choice! You can also add our Head Admin on Discord - JD#8827 - and send her the information directly.
Thank you so much for your interest in becoming an affiliate of Aeipathy! We look forward to hearing from you soon!
