How to use the forum

Okay, this goes for some of you that have never used a forum before, this a basic guide on how to use it, and also appeal to other people at the same time.

[Forum] A forum is a place for discussion about one or many topics.

[Threads] Threads are topics, these topics are usually related to the area that they area are in, for example this thread is located in the guest area. This is located in the guests area, because guests usually become members and need to be informed on how to be effective in a community.

[Replies] A reply is what is makes up a thread, sort of like an organ makes a human. Replies must be related to the thread they are in, otherwise they are labeled as off topic

[Quotes] Quotes are used to reply towards a specific person, and a situation in which you would do so, is in a debate. If you just leave a comment as a "reply" nobody will know who the comment was directed towards.

[Appeal] Appeal is very important in a forum, because it could determine whether someone reads your posts or totally ignores them. Some people eventually, will gain a title of spammer. (Luckily this has not occurred yet.) Stay on topic is something that is vital for a forum to work, and last is to obey higher authority, not doing so could result in a ban.

Please comment if you think I left anything out.
