Hey there new people out there. Feel confused? Look here if you get confused of what to do.
Welcomes
Go to the "Welcome Waggin'" board. You can introduce yourself, maybe even post a profile about your roleplay character in the 'Rexx Files'. There are many friendly people in this board ready to welcome you.
Roleplaying
Roleplaying can only be done in the 2 roleplaying boards (ADGTH Roleplay and All Puppies Go To Heaven boards).
It's prefered that you check my post about which ADGTH characters are available. Right now, we have been swarmed by Anabelle, Itchy, Sasha, and Charlie fans in the past that wanted to play that character. It's best that you make one up. That way it's unique, suitable for you, and makes things a little more interesting.
For those that don't know how to roleplay, peek your peepers here. Roleplaying is simple, fun, and a great way to make friends. Here is a simple tutorial of how to roleplay.
Step 1. Get a character
This is where it starts. You can choose an available ADGTH Charrie, or make one up. Try to be as detailed as possible. That way people know a bit about your character. Include at least your charrie's Name, Gender, Appearence, Personality, and History. You can add a few more things such as Likes/Dislikes, Relatives, etc. FWI, yes you can have more than 1. I have 2 here.
Step 2. Learn how to roleplay
For those who don't know how, lookie here. Roleplaying is simply taking a role of a character. If you read books, it's kinda like that. I'll use my character, SunFlash as an example.
A sleek shadow slinks through the dark streets of New Orleans after-dark. Her eyes glinted at the over-head lights. When she exits her dark security in the shadows, she jumps onto a trash can, dumpster, and then a small building for a better view of the stars.
You can be as detailed as you want. Just remember that you are not allowed to Godmode or Power Play. I'll give you an example.
eg of a Godmode. Fido lashes out as SunFlash with a mighty wrath.
SunFlash jumps out of the way.
Fido jumps at SunFlash again
SunFlash dodges again
Godmoding is when you keep on dodging every single move that your opponent does. SunFlash was doing the GMing.
eg of Power Playing. SunFlash, out of nowhere, comes and grabs Fido by the throat, slicing the Jugular.
Power Playing is when you control a character. What I put there was like Fido was just standing still. If I said that SunFlash was leaping out of nowhere, aproaching Fido's neck, that would be better. If he continues to dodge every attack, then I can call GMing.
Remember to check your spelling. If you don't know how it's spelled, you can say (Sp?). Sp means Spelling Error. The question mark says that you aren't too sure of how it's spelled. Try to do your best in keeping up good grammer and spelling.
Step 3. Joining the Roleplaying
Now that you learned what you need to do, just join in the roleplaying. You can make your own threads, or join in others. Have fun!
ADGTH General Discussion
Although it says 'General Discussion', it is prefered that you post all your OOC stuff in the FleaBite. The ADGTH Discussion is about ADGTH. You can chat about pretty much anything about the movie. Not OOC stuff that is unrelated to ADGTH.
Posting Guidelines
1. Try to keep on the subject you're on. Don't change it by saying 'Let's start chatting about basketball', or something like that.
2. When you double post, delete it. It saves room so you don't have to change pages.
3. Don't flame. Flaming is when you/you and other people type pages of offensive comments at someone. It's very rude.
4. Try not to 'Rule the Roost'. That's when you take over a thread that someone else made, and turn it to a totally different situation. It's not a bad thing, but some people don't like it.
5. Keep things clean. As the Flea Bite description states, keep it clean. That means don't post offensive posts to someone, swear, or post PG +13 content.
6. If you had a fight with someone that is on this board, don't bring it into character. If I had a fight with Jake in real life and then made SunFlash and Rusty fight, that wouldn't really make sense. Rusty and SunFlash are friends, and nothing went between them. If your characters are enimies, well, fire at will.
7. According to the Proboards.com TOS, there should be NO racist comments/discriminations.
8. If an RP board says it's private, then you can't post (Unless you were told that you can post).
9. No flooding. Flooding is also called excessive posting. Whether it be ongoing posts that can be easily edited (I understand if you are doing it as a bump), immense amount of double posting without deleting, or pointless posts, it's not allowed since it can be annoying to the other members on this.
10. When bumping, PLEASE do it when it's halfway down the page, or hasn't been replied on for at least 3 days. It's also prefered that the post is important, if it's a plot, or an update.
Listen to the Mods and Admin
Admins and Mods are the law. What they say goes pretty much. They don't order you around, but if they say that you are breaking the rules (if you are), you get the concequences (sp?). There are descriptions to each board, and those are expected to be followed.
The Boss: (Our supreme master)
Killer
Killer's Kronies: (2nd In Command)
Ashley Barkin
Silvanus Snarl
Charles B.
SunFlash
Charlie B. Barkin
Wynd
Top Dogs: (In charge of certian boards)
Carface
Sasha La Fleur
Itchy
Hedge
Although Killer is the only one that can delete and ban members, if you are not a mod, and you see someone that is really causing trouble, report him/her so things can be settled with.
And please, don't beg to be an admin. I have been in charge of a site long enough to know that admin beggers are a pain in the rear.
Proboards Content Restriction
These points were taken off of Proboards.com Terms of Service. No matter what the site you're on, there are always these rules.
1. User's content must comply in a manner consistent with any and all applicable laws of the State of California and the US Federal Government.
2. User's web site may not contain content promoting the use of illegal drugs, alcohol, sex, pornography, nudity, or any other form of adult content, profanity, hate, "spam," fraud, racism, mlm, pyramid schemes, or promote any illegal activity.
3. User's message board and Web site must be in English.
Ok, don't worry about #3. That's taken care of. If you decide on breaking those rules, then you will be reported to Killer. Those are the kind of things that can get KK deleted from the server.
Oh yes, by fraud, they don't mean internet names. Those are for your safety, which should be top priority to the PB staff. They mean fraud as in sales fraud and stuff like that.
Set Off
Here comes an end to my little guide. This explains the basics here. I hope that you enjoy chatting at the ADGTH Discussion Board.
