    HubPages was actually started BEFORE the internet was invented. Unfortunately it proved to be too impractical to get HubScore to work properly with the cork board and thumbtacked notes.

    Question: Can I make a hub on gambling?
    
    Answer: Even though since early childhood the key HubPage staff members have enjoyed a game of poker, they know when to separate business from pleasure. So hubs that promote or link to sites that offer or promote gambling for money are not allowed.
