GUIDE FOR.....

PMs- A PM is kinda like an EMail within the forum. And much quicker. It is located by "My Controls" in the upper right corner. It is very easy to use, so check often for new mail.


Sigs and Avvys- Sigs are the images under every post you make. They are one way to identify you by style, especially if you create them. Don't worry, it's not a bad thing. People just get used to seeing you with that signature. You may change these in the "My Controls" menu.

Avatars- Pretty much the same as a signature, but alot smaller. Change them in the same place, and it becomes sorta like your "trademark".


Definitions
Bait/ Flamebait- Trying to start a bunch of flaming, or trying to start an arguement.
Flame- Arguement taken to the extreme.
Troll- Posting from banned account, threatening people, etc.


Activeness- If you are inactive for a long period of time, chances are you will get an EMail. Your choices:
Reply to it with a reason
Throw the mail away.

Just note you can get promoted if you are active.




Images/ Videos

Don't make them stretch the page... And please make sure there is nothing (Come on, starts with an o). Offensive.
