ATTN: New Members

[Satyr]

Welcome!
Hello and thank you for joining ^^

Read The Rules
There are a set of guidelines about where things are, what to do, and also who to contact should you need more information. There are also rules specific to each forum - a link to them is contained in the General Rules, found here.

Lurker or Member?
If you haven't validated your membership, you'll have 'lurker' as your membership title. This will stop you from doing some things that members can do.

Before you can have full access, you'll need to check the email you used when you signed up, click the link that has been sent to you, and then you'll be in the queue for moderation. The reason why we're moderating all members is because we've been inundated by spambots and this is the only way we can stop the spam. It won't take long to validate you once you join up, perhaps 48 hours at worst. You'll get an email when you're a full member.

If you don't receive an email, it might be because it you typo'd it. If you enter any of our forums you'll see a yellow and white cbox (chat box) at the bottom of the page - put a help request in there and Existentially Odd or myself (Satyr) will be able to manually change your membership status, plus fix your email.

How to Send A PM
Left click on the username displayed on the left hand side. For instance, the username on the left of this message says 'Satyr' above my avatar. When you left click on the text, a boxxie will open - one of the options is 'Send a Private Message to Satyr'. Left click on that and a message box will open. Type your message, press send, you've just sent a PM.

How To Begin Roleplaying
There are multiple settings available. Click on the forum that interests you and you'll be taken to a place where there is a new skin displayed. This shows you that you are in a Roleplay Area. The banner at the top will tell you which area you are in.

All the roleplay forums have the General OOC Categories at the top, and the Roleplay areas at the bottom. You can find another set of Rules. These rules will give you specific information about that roleplay area. They will also have links to information you need to know, or go to. Reading the Rules for each section will really help you out a lot, as they are part of the setting explanation and how to roleplay in that setting.
