Hi to all, and since we have a fair few new members (and returning members who have not used this board before)
a few handy hints and tips...
Hi and welcome aboard!!
Some handy tips for new GateWorld members.
We have a Welcome New Members thread in the Off Topic Chatter forum, which you can find here.
The forum FAQ should answer any and all of your questions about the forum, including the preferred weapon of choice of each of the mods (although don't believe all you hear, we're all fluffy-bunny-wunnies really)
One thing we do like to request, however, is that before you start a new thread – please have a look round (you can use the search feature) and make sure that it is not already covered by another existing thread. It makes more sense to have conversations about one specific thing in one place so that everyone can join in. Especially the episode specific threads: these are linked from the GateWorld website. Anyone who visits the website can follow the link and find out what we all said about the ep. They can not do that if the ep discussion is spread around several threads.
Should, however, the FAQ not provide the answers you seek, you could try the Ask the Mods thread which is also in the Off Topic Chatter section. (and don't worry: that thread is looong, you are NOT going to get reamed and told to 'read the backlog'.) This thread covers everything from forum etiquette to the running order of future eps. (It is not the place to ask for the Answer To Life The Universe and Everything. That's a different show anyway and is covered elsewhere - and in excruciating detail - on the internet. We have been known to help with homework in the past though, although no guarantees are given)
You can, of course (via their profiles) send a Private Message (PM) to any or all of the Moderators, or contact us by email if you prefer not to do it in the public forum.
Jump in and start talking!!!
