Default questions about rules

I want to make a site like this (http://www.rpg-palace.com/). I would not allow other users to upload items. Also none of the files are illegal. They are resources for rpg maker.

We are sorry, but the Terms of service say

So, profusehost.net do not want you to host your files on our server. But you could use another server for filehosting and link the files on your side running on the profusehost.net servers.

Yeah that is, what I meant, because the rules say

But that only means profusehost.net do not want you to use to much traffic, for example if you do something (similar to hosting) you need much traffic and if you place files on the server and link them from other servers that costs traffic too (that is hotlinking). But if you find another host that allows you to store your files there we would be very happy if you choose profusehost.net for storing your page.

why we have such strict rules about hotlinking and filehosting ?
because profusehost.net wants to provide fast access to your side, so having less traffic as possible is required.

You are allowed to have a site like that as long you have content on the site. Basically, you are not allowed to sign up and simply fill the site with files and link to them. That's what we mean by "not allowing file hosting". As long you have written content + files, you should have no problem.
