since there's always questions about the forum and new things bein found out constantly, i'm makin an faq to help the noobs here
q: how do you post (this's a real question, many ppl dun know how to post) a: go below the last post on any page of a thread and there'll be an 'add reply' button. click on it, type your post, and click 'submit post' q: how do you edit posts a: in the top right corner of your posts, there's an 'edit' button next to the 'quote' button q: how do you use color/font/bold/italics/underline/size a: you've gotta highlight the word/s you're gonna enlarge, color, etc. q: what's a custom title and how can i get it? a: a custom title is somethin a poster with over 500 posts can put instead of the standard level name (newbie/member/advanced member/ etc.) q: are 1 and 14 the smallest and largest sizes a: no, you can manually change the size once you've highlighted and selected a size for a word/group of words. largest is somethin like 33 (jus put whatever # above that you want, it'll automatically go to the largest allowable size) smallest is -7 more to come later (when i think of them add some yourself if you think of one i didn't include) |

(sry, zoey, that explains noobs only)
q: what's a minion/anit-minion a: a minion is someone with less posts than you who you seize as your minion. it's almost like adoptin a noob cause you do kinda hafta tell them to post more and there's an unimplied helpin thing (you answer questions, back them up when their bein dissed) but you also get to order them to do stuff (not that they actually have to). an anti-minion is like an anti-noob (sorta). you seize someone with more posts than you, tell them to post less, and sorta hafta back each other up in the forum |

no its not
antinoob was my idea when you are a newbie, someone adopts you and shows youaround, encourages you to post more, and stuff. an antinoob is someone who you adopt who has more posts than you, and you tell them they post too much. -------------------- Love is real.
