[HappySquared]

Hey everyone! Welcome to the Ugly Betty Board! I hope you all enjoy posting here and have fun, however there are a few rules you need to take note of and make sure to adbide by:

First read the Official Fanforum Rules

STAY ON TOPIC (NO CHATTY/STAR POSTING):
There is to be no "chatty/star" posting on this board. This is also in the general FF rules. And this seems to be a pretty big problem on this board, in specfic threads. If you break this rule, you will be PMed quoting your post and hopefully you will see what you did wrong and not continue.

Examples of "star/chatty" posting would be, posting, hi,bye,how are you?, or just smilies, and nothing more, this is NOT allowed. Not to say you can't say hi or bye to your friends, but please make sure you post to add to the discussion of the thread. If, at the moment, you really can't add something constructive and relevant to the topic of the thread, then we ask that you wait until you can. For anything else, we have a perfectly good off topic thread you can post in.

DOUBLE/TRIPLE POSTING:
This is also against the general FF rules. And we prefer you try NOT to double/triple or even more, post in a row. However, there are exceptions, such as when FF or your computer is running slow and freezes or times out on you and accidentally puts more than one post through, we understand you can't control that. And if there's a thread which hasn't been posted in for a while and you'd like to add to it with new information, then you can post. But other than that, please do NOT double or triple post.

QUOTING PICTURES:
We have been pretty strict on this because it is in the general FF rules, and it makes the pages way too hard to load. So please do NOT quote any images, this goes for pics, avies, banners, anything.

FANART, Music Video's and any other creativeness:
Please repect the hard work these people put into making these things for others to enjoy. If you didn't make it then you have no right to claim them as your own. Do not altar anything in any way. Do not go to other sites, forums etc and claim these things as your own. If you want to rec or share these things with others please request permission of the creator.

AVATARS AND SIGNATURES:
Please make sure your avies and sigs are within the general FF rules.

Any avies and sigs bashing any actors and members are NOT allowed and will be removed. And any avies and sigs including any pornagraphic content or cuss words will also be removed, as this is also in the general FF rules and is not allowed.

Signatures are not to exceed the length of a 100x100 avatar, if you check in the general FF rule's thread, there's a measuring guide there to make sure it's within the limit. Also remember the maximum amount of emoticons/smiles in a signature is four.

BASHING:
There is to be absolutely NO bashing on this board whatsoever! This goes for bashing against actors, FF members, anyone. And lurking in threads you do not support the character or ships of and then going back into the ones you do, and talking about what was said is also NOT allowed on this board. It just causes more problems.

If you are having a problem with another poster please contact one of the moderators to explain the problem. Please keep all issues off of the board and contact the poster if you feel the need to via PM. Fanforums has reverted back to allowing any member of Fanforums to PM no matter how many posts they have unlike before.

ANTI-THREADS:
As of right now, we are allowing Anti-Threads on the board. However, even though everyone is entitle to their own opinion, please make sure to handle discussing them in a friendly and constructive manner, without any bashing of others. Not everyone is going to agree, so please be respectful of one another. Lurking in an Anti-Thread and going back to an appreciation thread and discussing what was being talked about is also NOT allowed. And if you are a fan of a character/relationship, we ask that you do not enter into the anti-thread of said character/relationship trying to defend them, because the people in the Anti-Threads should not have to justify and defend why they do not like them to those who are for them. All this just causes more problems, so we ask that you just stear clear of the threads you don't want to be a part of and stick to the ones you do.

SPOILERS:
We used to allow at least spoiler-tagged spoilers on this board, however that got too out of hand. So, from here on, there are to be absolutely NO spoilers on this board whatsoever, including within the spoiler tags. If hasn't been shown in the US yet, it is not allowed to be posted. This goes for promo pics, episode clips, quotes, etc. There is a perfectly good spoiler thread in the spoiler board all that can be discussed in. Spoiler Board

EPISODE DOWNLOADS:
Downloading of episodes is strictly against Fan Forum rules. Links to any download sites will be edited out. Do not advertise websites that allow downloading of episodes. If you’d like to ask/answer this stuff, please do so via PM.

OTHER MESSAGE BOARDS:
Linking to and or mentioning other messages boards is also is the general FF rules and is not allowed. If you bring something over from another board, you can of course credit the person, but do not link to the board itself. The same if you'd like to link to another site which contains a message board, you can link to the site itself, just not the message board.

STARTING THREADS:
Whenever a thread reaches a maximum of 300 posts, we will close it, and you can start a new one. Please read the board guide topped at the head of the page to make sure a thread you would like to post isn't already a part of the board, and if you find that it's not, you can feel free to post it. If you're not sure whether a certain thread is allowed, just ask Anji or myself, and we will gladly help you out.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, after reading through these rules, I hope you guys do actually read them. Please respond to show that you have. We just want to make sure this is a nice and fun place to post. If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to PM *Stacy*.

What do you expect from the show? I guess for it to talk about fashion, which has always interested me and just to prove that beauty isn't about what's on the outside , true beauty comes from within and plus I love America and Vanessa, so that's partially why I'm watching the show, to see them in something else.

[*Stacy*]

OMG!! Faints! Seriously, an Ugly Betty board. This is outstanding.

What do you expect from the show? I think it's going to be really cute mainly because I like America. She's so pretty! And I loved her in Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Plus I'm curious to see Salma Hayek's role in production.

[HappySquared]

to everyone

[*Stacy*]

Hey to all the new folks.

I agree hunee. I mean, putting it and moving it in front of GA is a huge step. I just have such high hopes for it.

[i never learn]

oh me too!... i'm sooo stoked... i cannot wait to actually see it... i think its gonna be a tearjerker

[*Stacy*]

Oh definitly. That one scene in the promo just breaks my heart.

[i never learn]

oh I know... but yea... some of it looks hilarious... like when she walks into the door... i mean i get embarrassed so easily for other people and its gonna be a heart jerker

[*Stacy*]

OMG! That part looks hysterical. It might be so funny and yet so heartbreaking at the same time. I hate seeing people get upset.

[i never learn]

me too but this show i think is gonna not only shoot for the moral high ground but be so beautiful at the same time... its gonna rock!
