What's your stand on Sackbook?

The rules state :

# No advertising any fan-created websites or forums related to LittleBigPlanet. However, you are allowed to post links to fan-created LittleBigPlanet sites if you are pointing out some piece of media or an article related to the game. Make sure to post it in the relevant forum, though.

Since it seems to use the game data directly, I'm not sure it qualifies as either a forum or website, but more as a front-end.

Would we be allowed to link to our photos or levels page on the Sackbook site for instance?
Or are we allowed to use the signature generated on the Sackbook page?

I'd just like to set the record straight since it might be tempting to start promoting the site left and right (not necessarily by me) now that it's been found :hero:

If Sackbook somehow becomes an exception to the rule I think that should be written down. And if it doesn't, that should be written down as well. Just for the sake of clarity.

I'm guessing you're allowed to then, seeing as it was linked three times in the above thread and once by Creative just then......

Well, that's my point really. Guessing is fine, but I think we could all do with the official answer on the subject :)

If we were gonna go explicitly by the rules, then I'd say no. But seeing as Sackbook isn't really a fansite (much like we are. We're completely different) I think it'd be OK. I think it's basically a much better version of LBW, but I'd wait to hear from one of the admins (CC / LBP) first.

Don't link to it anymore, until we have complete clarification :)

Sackbook is unique, and in this case, an exception to the rule. Go ahead and link all you want. :)
