    I'm very busy with building my (amateuristic) website:
    www.tweakland

    I want to make a website where I will collect all useful hardware drivers, benchmarking software, articles, etc and I was wondering what I'm allowed to do and what not.

    I want to collect all links (just the links) to useful downloads and tweakguides from websites like Guru3D, Firingsquad, Tweakguides, etc and make a huge database so people can find what they want very fast.

    On this page there's a link to the download page of 3DMark05 on Guru3D. Am I allowed to link to the downloads in the same way? I don't think I'm allowed to link directly to the .exe file and I'm not going to. I'm just asking what I can do, because I don't want to get in any problems.

    Also, can I link directly to a review or article on Guru3D?

    I guess as long as you link LINK to the article located on Guru3D you're ok.

    Neowin.net does that.

    You cannot have links to your site here at Guru3D but you can put links to Guru3d on your site.

    To many people in the past used Guru3D to get their website started then dumped on us hard and heavy so we do not allow it at all any more.

    If you must link then please link towards the actual download info page and not the I agree pages.

    There's a reason why we type out the description, people actually should read stuff before installing something.

    Get me a link to that site and I'll have a look.

    To be honest, many of these sites that people start usually start from Netherlands and the surround area, whats up with that! LOL
