    It has come to my attention recently that there have been some misinterpretations of the forum descriptions as written by me. So today I went and rewrote them all, emphasizing in each all the things that were not expressly stated and therefore often not clear enough to newcomers.

    I hope this has cleared up all the issues some people have had about what goes into which forum. If not, please post here so I may known what needs to be explained in more detail and/or reworded.

    ....Right....hey, whatever floats your boat. They seemed pretty clear to me though. Oh well, nothing wrong with clarity. Thank you for thinking of us!

    Maybe we should make some stickies about:
    1. The gem-stuff
    and
    2. Slash

    Lot of newbies go offtopic about the first one, since they´re too lazy :p to read the manual

    Gem-stuff is explained in the FAQ everyone should read before posting. And we still don't have stickies. However, when we get them, stuff like that will be in them.

    You mean people actually didn't know what each forum was about? I thought the descriptions were very accurate personally.

    I don't know what a slash is scarampella, but a stickie means a Administrator can "stick" a thread at the top of a forum.

    I have a vague idea what slash is... someone ask those junkies who keep ranting about it for a detailed definition. Actually, ask them to post it in the acronyms thread...

    I quote Arabwel:

    "Slash= a type of fanfiction that pairs up people of the same sex."

    Maybe the definition of slash can go in the FAQ.
