Logging In and Posting
Rules
1. Use Sentences (Capitalizations & Periods)
2. No Inappropriate Behavior/Junk Posts.
3. Respect other members.
4. Have fun!
Note: Inappropriate behavior and junk posts may lead to ban. I have little patience for this kind of behavior.
Please use sentences here. I'm not asking for college level English here, but just basic elementary English that has capital on the first letter of the sentence and a period at the end. It makes reading messages much easier for everyone. Needless to say, you should respect other members. There's a great group of a people here, I don't think there will be much trouble with that. And of course, have fun! This is the purpose of the forum, relax and have fun.

Introduction to Forums:
There’s different ways to post in a forum. Now, you may notice there are different sections found at the main page of the forums. Each section is referred to as a “forum” or “board”. Each bards talks about a specific subject. Each forum has a description so you know what is being talked about in that forum.
How to Start Posting:
After you have chosen a board to go to, you will see a list of “threads”. Threads are topics, which you talk about. To start your own thread, click on “New Thread”. Or, you can just browse through the already existing threads, to find what you want to talk about. Click on a thread, and you will find a “Reply” button you can click on. If you want to a copy of what someone said in your post (so that people will know which post you are referring to when you’re talking if necessary), then you can do so by going to the post you want to quote, and then click on the “Quote” button. After you done that, you will see a lot of stuff in your text box already, that’s ok, just type what you want to say in the bottom of all that stuff. Also, in your own posts, you can "Modify" (change your message), and "X (Delete)" (deletes your message).
