Additional guidelines to the official FanForum rules

1. Please do not open any anti-threads. There is a lot of negativity in the real world, so we don't want to add to that on this board with anti-threads. With that being said, please do not openly bash any characters. It is fine to say that you don't like a character and why, but please refrain from doing it in the character's appreciation thread, and do not use any cussing for this.

2. Please do not make a post that only consists of a smiley/smilies or one word (game threads are the exception). Furthermore, please try to post at least something that contributes to the discussion or talk in general. Picture posts are fine, as long as they don't exceed the maximum number of pictures allowed per page (see #3) and you add at least some text to it.

3. Not everyone has DSL or a similar connection, so please keep picture posts as small as possible. We all love to look at pictures and screencaps, but those with slower connections have problems with the pictures loading, so please be considerate and keep the maximum posts of pictures per page to 25 full pictures. It would be even better, if you could post thumbnails of the pics. If you do that, you can post up to 50 pictures per page as long as the thumbnails aren't larger than 200x200 pixels.

4. Please do not link to any download sites, and we would prefer that you don't overtly talk about these types of sites. Very small audio files of certain 10 second scenes are fine and so are some links to YouTube or other video clip sites, as long as it isn't illegal. Full songs, episodes of shows or even movies are not fine. This is only endangering the boards and doesn't help us at all. When we see posts with such links, they will immediately be edited out of the posts without prior warning.

5. In addition to rule number 1, we ask you to not flame/bash any other posters. Sure, we can't get along all the time, but it's not necessary to fight here. If you disagree with someone, you could try to talk to this person through PMs.

TFTNT

And thanks for the welcome

Thought it was about time to come on over...

Manu9 · 08-18-2011, 08:11 AM

I'm really glad you joined us

From your posts at the Secret Circle board, it seems like you love QAF just as much as we all do here

Is Sway your real name?

xheartrockx · 08-18-2011, 10:32 AM

I freaking love it. I mean... I did go out to buy the DVDs after watching one episode... I call that being hooked

No, it's Svenja but but it's my pen name for fanfic and my nickname in fandoms etc. And if that's not available I go by xheartrockx or tastymoves

WildRose · 08-18-2011, 10:57 AM

hi, and welcome!
fancy meeting you here

it's great we'll get to discuss QaF stuff here, and not just on LJ

(I'm using a different name there, but the same default userpic, btw

)

xheartrockx · 08-18-2011, 11:06 AM

Thank you

Since I'm already trying to convince people over at the Secret Circle board to watch QAF, I might come over to where the craze all started.. sorta

I knew I'd seen that icon before

Glad to see a familiar "face" over here.

WildRose · 08-18-2011, 11:10 AM

same here

Manu9 · 08-18-2011, 12:51 PM

I hope you managed to convince some people to watch the show, since it's totally worth it. And it would be nice to have more people join the board

I saw a user with your name on Vered's LJ and wondered if it could be you

I guess it was

xheartrockx · 08-18-2011, 12:55 PM

I'm still working on that. And I hope to introduce a RL friend to watch it as well. I might force her to watch the pilot with me the next time she's staying over.

Yep, that's yours truly

galesgirl645 · 08-18-2011, 06:10 PM

Hi and Welcome

xheartrockx · 08-19-2011, 12:52 AM

Thanks

Manu9 · 08-21-2011, 08:54 AM

hey guys, we're re-doing the birthday list, since a lot of people who used to be there aren't posting anymore and some that are currently posting were not there at all. So if you are not on the list but would like to be, please tell us when your birthday is

xheartrockx · 08-21-2011, 11:32 AM

April 17, please

Manu9 · 08-21-2011, 01:05 PM

Thank you, Claudia has added it
