| Master Fan   | Welcome to Grant High School! #3: Rules, Intros, Guide, B-days, FAQ's, etc! Come see!  be sure to bookmark this thread, it'll save you from getting lost! Welcome to 'The Secret Life of the American Teenager' Thread.  Where the Grant High School Lancers motto is "Character. Commitment. Excellence." Hope you enjoy your time here as we have a fairly comfortable environment. If there is anything you need or questions you need answered, please feel free to ask. One of us will be more then happy to help you. Thanks. Your Mods, ExOhErin & RAMYfan23 RULESWe want your posting experience here to be fun and enjoyable, however, there are a few general rules that need to be read, understood and followed in order for this to happen: DOUBLE/TRIPLE POSTING:This is against the general FF rules. And we prefer you try NOT to double/triple or even more, posts 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:Another basic FF rules; this is because it makes the pages way too hard to load. So please do NOT quote any images, this goes for pics, avies, banners, anything. If you want to point out a specific picture to comment on, just post the link to it. While on the topic of pictures, please don’t post pictures any wider than 800 pixels so you don’t stretch the post table. We've had to go behind people in the past and edit. If you would like to post a large picture or at, please post a smaller version and link it or just post a link to share. BASHING:It goes without saying that bashing will not be tolerated on this board, or any part of FF for that matter. Thankfully we have yet to have an issue with this; we would like to keep it that way! Recently we have put spoiler tags around aprts of discussions on the general threads (spoiler thread, episode guide, etc) that a person could take offense to due to their shipping choice. We love that you all have different opinions, we just ask that you respect everyone elses while you voice your own  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. SPOILERS:No spoilers about any new or current television shows are allowed on the television show forums, and they should only be posted on the Spoilers Board. Information is considered to be a spoiler if it details something that has not yet been broadcast anywhere in the world. Promos that have already aired on television and small episode descriptions are not considered to be spoilers. Pictures from promos that have already aired on television, been shown at the movie theater, or are from general promotional material at official websites or published in magazines are not considered to be spoilers. Pictures of clips, episode stills and filming pictures of scenes from an upcoming episode or movie that are available on the Internet and have not been aired on television or have not been shown at the movie theater before the movie is released are considered to be spoilerish, and they should only be posted in designated threads for the upcoming episode or movie. 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 message boards is also not allowed in the general FF rules. 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 goes 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:We love taking turns here on this board! If you would like to be the next person to start a thread that is nearing it's 300th post, feel free to speak up! Chances are you'll be allowed to! In regards to starting new threads, please check to see if the thread doesn't already exist and is possibly just pushed way back. Also, we would greatly appreciate it if you ask one of us before starting a new thread that doesn't already exist; there may be a reason for this. ANTI-THREADS:After discussions on this subject we have decided against allowing any type of anti-threads to be started on this board. Our overall atmosphere on here is so laid back and close knit we feel that anti-boards would bring unnecessary negative vibes to the board and we do not want that. If you have any questions about these rules, feel free to contact us about it or check the Official Fan-Forum Rules and Regulations -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTRODUCTIONS Now that all the boring stuff is out of the way, get to know your fellow posters!

If you want to talk about these ships and others which are considered UC (unconventional) then you can discuss them at our UC Couples and Friendships Thread. We would greatly appreciate your help in keeping these threads to a minimum and discussing them only in the designated thread so we don't get over crowded to quickly.

| Master Fan | Frequently Asked Questions: Q. How do I get an icon? A. In order to get an icon, you need a post count total of 100 or more. Once you reach that, you should be able to get one. Go to User CP ---> Edit Avatar. Scroll down. There are two options to choose from: Option 1 - Enter the URL to the Image on Another Website Option 2 - Upload Image From Your Computer Note: The maximum size of your custom image is 100 by 100 pixels or 39.1 KB (whichever is smaller). Q. Are the episodes currently airing, that began in January 2009, part of season 1 or season 2? A. Unfortunately, this subject has many confused! According to the actors, directors and creator herself, Brenda Hampton, the episodes currently airing are still apart of the first season. The network, however, has them advertised as this being a whole new season. To each it's own, but on the board, we are referring to the current airing episodes as season 1 eppys. Q. What is a ship? A. A ship is a couple that you want to be together on a show (some examples: Ricky/Amy, Ricky/Adrian, Ben/Amy, etc.) Q. Is Ulysses S. Grant High School a real high school? A. After some digging around, I found that GHS is in fact a real high school located in Valley Glen, California and that their mascot really is the Lancers. To find out more about it you can come to this website: Ulysses S. Grant High Q. Can we talk about the sneak peeks here? A. Sneak peeks cannot be discussed as they are considered spoilers. What can be talked about are the after episode previews. Q. What kind of images can be used for icons/avatars? A. Images from the following are allowed to be used in avatars because these are general wide-spread promotions for the movie/television show. Allowed: -Movie trailers or posters -Promos that are shown on TV -Character promo shots Not Allowed:(because they reveal a lot more information and are considered to be spoilerish.) -Sneak peak or extended promos and clips on the Internet -Episode stills -Any filming pictures __________________ ღ Love Lives Forever ღ "Being onstage is magic.

| Hey! I didn't know where else to post this... Just wanted to say that I'm leaving the boards. I don't like any aspect of the show anymore and will not be watching it when it returns from hiatus. It's come to the point where I have nothing postive to say about it and don't want to continue being Miss Negative around here. I don't like or care for any of the characters; the storylines are mega-boring, dragged out and super unimaginative; and I CANNOT(!) stand the dialogue any longer! Not to mention, I have been literally forcing myself to watch episodes for the past several weeks (it's not good when I can't bring myself to watch some AT ALL or if I watch them in 10-15 minutes). I have zero hope for it to return to watchable form for me because, well, the same people are writing it and the few spoilers we have really don't make me think otherwise. Besides, this half has snapped me out of the spell I was apparently under because I don't even like any of the first season anymore.  So much for not being Miss Negative... Wait. I lied. There is one positive thing that has come out of this show. That would be the introduction of the hotness that is DAREN KAGASOFF.  Anywhoo... Best of luck to everyone! It's been a pleasure chatting with all of you (or at least it was before I turned all bitter on June 22, 2009 at approximately 8:56 PM EST  ). To all those who still have faith in this show I hope it continues to give you a reason to watch it. I'm done though. Bye! Or, would Ciao be more fitting?  P.S. In case anyone's wondering, I'm still rooting for Ricky and Amy. And, while at this point they are nowhere close to dating (which I fully expected), I can leave this fandom with the image that they will one day be happily together. Instead of having said image being completely destroyed by the writers because it's inevitable that they will mess them up and make them unshippable in the logical, I could see myself being happy with a relationship like that (minus the baby pre-marriage) kind of way, like they have with EVERY SINGLE COUPLE on this show (inc. the recently demised Jack/Grace - seriously, Jack you cheated AGAIN!? WTF!). PEACE OUT! __________________ ⊱Ricky ♥ Amy⊰ | |||

| Addicted Fan | Awe no Nazalia. We didn't talk too much, but it's really sad to see someone actually leave because the show got bad for them. I realize it hasn't been it's best but I could probably never quit watching just because I will always be curious as to how everything ends up  Goodbye and if the show should improve for you, come back!__________________ Shai ♥ | |||
