Don't get in flame wars. I find this site has excellent discussion forums that I've been stalking for like a year and just recently joined up, but far too many times I've seen people get carried away and all of a sudden, a thoughtful discussion turns into a mindless cussing match.

My best advice would be to act like you are at an extremely high class video game party run by the head of the National Writers Union. Don't say anything you wouldn't say there.

Also, don't even hint at the Mods being overzealous. You WILL get semi-banned.

Extra tip: If you want to post pictures, type in (without the periods) [.image/] put the URL of the pic here [/image.]

Alas, that's the way of the internet.

It is, and on other forums I'm on, it flies, but not this one (which is a good thing, IMO).

Also, for the images, I always go like this (minus the periods) [.image] INSERT LINK [./image]

I don't use that first slash in the open tag. Seems to work for me, it's how I was taught HTML, but if what he says works, do it. If it doesn't, maybe that's why.

Other than that, welcome aboard!

T-the basement..? Should I be worried?
As long as you don't go down there, you should be fine. Truth be told, we don't actually know what's down there. We all have theories. Mine is that the souls of the banned are down there waiting for someone to make the mistake of fixing the stairs so they can escape and take over the internet (yes I put more thought into that than I should have)
Can't...stop...laughing!

This thread's been great help to me as well, long-time lurker, just-started posting.
So far, you´re doing mighty fine. Keep at it!

And about the basement: It´s a lie. Don´t believe a word they say. This is a website, not a house. Some may liken this site to an actual building in their little heads, but believe me, there is no basement. I checked. In fact, there´s not even a ceiling or walls, let alone stairs. There´s just code, and possibly magic.

And don't forget to give the local Swollen Goat your credit card numbers. Veeeery important!
Oh, Goat, my good friend, I haven't gotten around to doing that yet.

How should we do this? Where could I find the nearest Swollen Goat?

Remember the caplock button,the mods get really pissy if you forget the fine mods of this site don't like to see all caps(don't know why.)

Don't worry you can change you name later.


Unlike most other sites on the web you can SHARE you opinion.

Fraught! It wouldn't be safe just posted in the forums like that! You're better off with it in my clutches caring hands. And no, the space didn't work. Tried that first. :(

Does this conversation mean you've derailed your own thread?
*appears* Yes. I no longer need friendly introductions. You may make change it to anything you wish.

Welcome to The Escapist!

Read the following, and basically just use common sense.

Have Fun!
I honestly never read these, and I wound up doing fine, but I guess I'm just an exception, these probably will help, though.
I didn't read them either...but I still send people their way, just because they are likely helpful to people who...need them.

*Looks at Neo badge*

I think I did okay. ^_^
