Rules

Last updated: 2026-11-11

How the board works, what it costs, and what you can list. If anything here conflicts with the Terms of Service, the Terms apply.

The board

Long Live is a paid advertising board. Each listing is shown as an animated critter carrying the listing's name, logo and link. Critters move on their own; the movement and the small dots they chase are decoration and have no effect on rank or size. Bigger critters move more slowly, and the top three in each zone slow down further, so the top three on the board are the slowest.

The board is vertical. Higher ranks are higher on the page. Critters stay within the zone of their current rank and move up or down when their rank changes.

Size

Size is set by money and nothing else. Every listing with the same amount has the same size, whatever its rank.

• Your critter gets longer with every dollar.
• From $100 it also gets thicker.
• At $1,000 it gets much bigger, and you can choose the Logo style, which repeats your logo along the body.
• There is a maximum size. Above it, more money raises rank but not size.

The checkout preview shows the exact size for any amount before you pay. We may change how size is calculated at any time, for the whole board at once. A listing that paid more is never smaller than one that paid less.

Rank

Rank is set by amount. Higher amount, higher rank. If two listings have the same amount, the one that reached that amount first ranks higher.

Rank is assigned when your payment is confirmed, at whatever position your amount supports at that moment. If someone pays more while you are checking out, you still land on the board; your full amount is added, at the rank it then supports.

Every critter shows its rank. The top three on each board get a crown, a glow and a larger name label, and move at the slowest pace. These come with rank, not with payment, and move to the next listing when rank changes.

Boards

• All-time ranks by everything ever paid for a listing. It never resets.
• Weekly ranks by amounts paid during the current week. It resets every Monday at 00:00 US Eastern Time. A listing appears on Weekly only if it received a payment that week.

One payment counts on every board that includes it. A listing can be #1 on Weekly and #40 on All-time at the same time.

Prices

All amounts are whole US dollars.

• New listing: $5 minimum.
• Boost (adding to an existing listing): $1 minimum.
• Taking #1 on a board: your amount on that board must be at least $5 more than the current #1. On All-time that is your total; on Weekly that is what you have paid this week.

Taxes may be added at checkout depending on your location.

Boosts and ownership

Anyone can boost any listing. Boosting raises its amount, size and rank; it does not change the name or link, and does not transfer ownership.

The owner is whoever made the listing's first payment. To change the style (colors and pattern), boost the listing and pay with the same email you used the first time; the new style is applied with the boost. If the email is different, the amount is added and the style stays. To correct a name or link, or to claim a listing someone else registered for your site, email zadenpark@gmail.com.

If you register a site you do not own, its real owner can take over the listing at any time. Your payments stay with the listing and are not refunded.

What you can list

A product website or an X @handle that you own or are authorized to represent. The website must show valid company or operator details.

Not allowed:

• chat and invite links: Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Messenger, Signal and similar;
• link shorteners;
• sexual or adult content;
• illegal products or services;
• scams, fraud, deceptive offers, get-rich-quick schemes;
• hate, harassment, or impersonation;
• phishing, malware, or links that redirect to any of the above;
• offers that require a license you do not hold: financial, medical, gambling, weapons.

Links are stored as https. Query parameters and fragments are removed. Names are up to 24 characters, must contain letters or numbers, must not impersonate anyone, and must not be offensive.

Logo and name

The logo is fetched from your site through a public icon service. If none is found, the first letters of your name are shown as a badge. The name is what you enter at checkout. The badge color is taken from your logo by default; you can change it.

Open spots and giveaway listings

When a board has fewer than twenty listings, the empty ranks are shown as grey "Open spot" critters. They are placeholders, not listings, and hold no amount.

Listings marked "Giveaway" were added by the operator at no charge, for example through a launch giveaway. They show no amount, are shown at the smallest size, rank below every paid listing, do not appear on Weekly, and are removed after 30 days. A Giveaway listing cannot be boosted. Paying $5 or more for it turns it into a regular listing.

Removal

We remove listings that break these Rules or the Terms, without refund. To report a listing, email zadenpark@gmail.com.
