forum ( T H R E A D ) rules !!

Like everything else, there are some guidelines that we recommend you follow when creating your thread.

Rules for Posting Threads:
1. Only create one topic.

There really is no need for more. You might want to consider posting some information about yourself, perhaps your favorite whatever or what brought you to this forum; something to catch other members' interest. This can either be done in your introduction thread or in the Profile thread.

2. No posting "late welcomes".

While many of you refrain from posting Welcome Threads when you first arrive, we ask that if you've been here for more then a month or two that you don't create one. By then, most people are familiar with you, which defeats the purpose of you creating one.

3. No reviving old threads.

As fun as it may be to dig up ancient threads back when your favorite moderator was a newbie, we ask that you refrain from "Thread Necromancy." This is a place for welcoming new arrivals, not reliving old ones.

4. Don't "leave" unless you plan on leaving.

If you plan on leaving the forums, and start a thread regarding this, please make sure that you are truly, honestly, leaving. Don't decide three days later that you can't bare the thought of not posting and come back. It's understandable that a member may wish to return, but it's quite irritating to see a leaving and "o hai I'm back" thread on the same page.

5. Only introduction and announcements should be made in the introduction section.

Which means, according to the forum description, that it's a member orientated area for introductions/departures/birthdays and member information in the designated threads. Questions should be posted in the Questions and Suggestions thread, and anything else in the appropriate forum. Name changing threads are not allowed, please announce name changes in your signature.
Now that we've gone over all the tedious stuff, feel free to enjoy yourself. Don't be afraid to start new threads, but make sure you use the search feature to make sure it's not a repeat. Don't be afraid to ask questions, or contact any one of the forum leaders if you feel like you need more help. It may seem like a lot to digest, but you'll get it soon enough.

Thank you, be active, and most importantly, have fun!
