Consider yourself welcomed.
Anyway, it's traditional or some shit to have a "rules" document for your forum. I don't do that, not really. Because, honestly, I only have one truly important rule for everybody to follow. Just one. It's a simple one.
DON'T SUCK.
Seriously. That's it. That is the sole guideline for this forum, and if you're here, follow it. Below is a periodically updated list of ways to suck. It is not a complete list, but it should be sufficient for y'all to get the hint. My moderators and I do
not want to have to go chasing people down and do
not want to be actually doing our jobs, so don't make us.
Ways To Suck- Posting porn. I'm not a huge fan of it, but in either case we have posters who are under 18. Sorry, but no.
- Posting ROMs. Potentially problematic and causing legal liability. Don't do it.
- Be a shitty poster. A friend of mine once gave me the advice "be heavy, be funny, or be both, but don't even be neither." Either bring the heavy (good, thoughtful posting) or bring the funny (you know, that "humor" shit), but if you aren't bringing either with what you're about to post, don't post it.
Half-Assed Glossary of Group Titles- The Fabulous Captain - main administrator. Me.
- High Fucktard - other administrator. Fox. Trust the man in all matters fashion, he's almost as fabulous as me.
- Fucktard - global moderator. Currently quanta's the only one. I picked him for his propensity to be as lazy as I am.
- Duplicate Nigerian - forum-specific moderators.
- Writetard - Somebody with write permissions on the front page blog that most of you will probably never spend much time reading. No forum powers, just a shiny badge.
- Secret Cabalist - Yes, we have a secret cabal. Asking to join the Secret Cabal is the fastest way never to join it.
- Grade A Beef - That's Vice. She's almost as cool as I am, and way cooler than you.
- Banned Dipshit - They didn't know how to not suck.
Enjoy your stay in The Ashtray, ladies and gentlemans.
