You may not install any addtional links and graphics of an obviously adult nature in any copy of our site indices for any reason whatsoever.  You may not tamper with any such links that we have inserted ourselves, aside from their removal, as they deal strictly with onsite reviews of adult-oriented videogames for the various consoles that are covered and therefore cannot be avoided.  Furthermore, you may not install any links of any kind in any copy of our site indices that permit access to infringing or illegal materials on any Internet site.

You may not post any copies of our site indices to any Internet site that deals in or with infringing, illegal, or adult-oriented activities, or is hosted by any online service provider that operates along these lines.
