my forum tutorial wrote:1. -terminology-

board: a page consisting of forums

forum: a subpage containing many threads

thread: a string (thread, get it?) of posts, often being in a "Question, Answer, Flame" order

post: a single message, much like a note on a post-it note.

text: binary information that makes up sentences

sentence: a bunch of words strung together into a thought

word: a string of letters, having a single meaning or descripor

letter: a single character

character: a single squiggle

squiggle: a single non-straight line

line: a 1d object


2. -the concept-

in a forum, the idea is to create posts. posts are described above. the most common idea of posting is to either:

2a. ask a question that hasn't been asked like 900 billion times

2b. to answer said question above

2c. to flame said question or answer above (note that flaming can and will piss people off)

2d. NOT act like an AOLer

2e. NOT to get more posts. However, it is still possible to raise your post count while still being relevant to the topic. *coughEquinoxcough*

2f. not to piss someone off

2g. not to make yourself look big and bad

2h. not make yourself look like a n00b


3. -step by step tutorial on posting-

So you feel the need to participate in a thread, huh? well, just follow this useless *coughcoughahem* useFUL tutorial, and join in the fun*!

3a. read the first and last posts at the very least.

3b. find a button titled "reply" or "post".

3c. click on it.

3d. if step 3c fails, go to step 3b.

3e. find the text area.

3f. click on it.

3g. begin to type your mentally prepared response. if you don't have one, go back to step 3a and include the text ", and begin to prepare a mental response" at the end.

3h. recheck your post for spelling. correct where necessary.

3i. recheck your post for grammar. correct where necessary.

3j. recheck your post for |_33+. |/= _|()() |>()5+ |-|/-\5 /-\|\|`/ |_33+, |>|`()(33|) +() 5+3|> 3().

3k. ensure that if your post has flames in it, it wouldn't offend your local moderator, or prepare your ass for whippin'...

3l. follow steps 3b - 3d again.

3m. if step 3k fails, try not to post again in your life.

3n. you're done! now just repeat this over and over again for maximum fun! Please skip over step 3o.

3o. commit suicide.


*posting is not guaranteed to be fun. consult your doctor before joining in the thing known as the "interweb".

You are not your post count.
Post smarter not harder.
Give respect to get it.
Be Positive.
Have a reason to post.
You are not elite, there is always someone smarter.

Yep, common sense.

Honestly, I'm gonna leave for a long while again, maybe this place will get better not worse...it may just happen.
