ok.. we have noticed that some of you are too lazy to type out a legible sentence. in fact it's so bad half the time that me and the rest of the admin/mod team happen to believe you are in fact complete morons. wanna prove us wrong? well how about trying to at least improve your grammar and punctuation starting now, and since I'm such a nice guy I'm here to help you, so go get your mom if you're unable to read what I'm saying right now and get ready to be educated.

you may be seeing a keyboard in front of you; if so then please pull it closer to you so that you are in a comfortable position and each key (little things that have writings on them to form a letter) is accessible to you without miss-hitting a key. here's an educational chart for you all. YAY!

when you're ready we shall move on..

now to begin there are a few things you ask yourself before typing out a great thread and hitting that beautiful post button, and these things are:

1. has this already been posted before? if you dun't kno. then there is a great feature on this forum called "search" it can be found here.

2. is this something I can pm the mods/admin for? if it is. then please save us the time of having to close your thread after the question has been solved.

3. is my thread being posted in the right category? for example, a video release goes in the video release category, and a computer question goes in the computer category; so on and so on. THINK before posting.

4. is my thread pointless and gay? if it doesn't serve a purpose and therefor just informs everyone here that you're going to bed or just had a fantastic ham sandwich. then don't fucking post it. simple as that. moron.


once you have asked yourself those and have answered them correctly and made sure you're not going to muff anything up. then you can begin typing. this may be the hardest part for some of you. so I'm here to help once again:

(be sure to keep in mind that there is already a word filter attached to this forum so some of your retarded words will be fixed automatically. but that doesn't give you the right to still get lazy on us)

1. our and are are 2 different words. same goes for a and I. we kno smart minds process them the way we wanna see em. but it gets annoying. so stop.

2. u and r are letters and should not be used as words. once you people get the hang of typing the words exactly as they are suppose to be. it'll be faster and you won't need to abbreviate.

3. TIEPING LIEEK THEES EZ OWNLY TALLERATED WIN YEWVE BIN PWND.

4. using the exclaimation point is a privilege. overusing it makes you look retarded. remember that.

5. there is something called a comma. using 10 periods doesn't qualify as a comma. try again.

6. always, ALWAYS.. reread what you type. it's not going to kill you to go back for about 15 seconds and look over what you typed and to change any mistakes. come on we all went to school. you may or may not have listened. but we kno it's common sense. fucking use it.


I do believe I have pointed out the important details for you when you begin thread posting. this goes for all newbies and regular members. just remember, if you fail to follow these rules we will respect you a lot less.

happy posting fags.

Well as far as I'm concerned the language we speak here is English, so if you can't write a coherant sentence in our language then don't waste our time.

Don't get me wrong, abbriviations are great... if your writing notes or talking on an instant messaging program. This is called a forum, I'm sure if your smart enough to find your way here, register, and succesfully make a post/thread you can write a decent sentence. Seriously, if not I would be more than happy to delete your post/thread.

It's getting to the point where I'm going to delete it instead of closing it, they serve no purpose therefore why clutter the forum and waste space.

It's pretty funny that I can spell better english than a lot of people I see writing on different forums I'm subscribed to. And I'm talking about people who speak english as their primary language.
And I have learnt my english in school.. It might not be perfect but at least I make more sense than a lot of people around.

I find this thread to be rather offensive. Not everyone is a dumbass when it comes to spelling, punctuation and grammer.

Why find it offensive? It wasn't necesarily aimed at you, its just a thread for reference, and so people put a little thought into their posts

I admit I am one of those people that spell like shit and my grammer is load of monkey bollox, but I can spell and I can use grammer fine, but most of the time I cannot be fucked to type full words.
I sometimes even write like it in my school work.

I was going to say that a new sentance starts with a capital letter, and this is Adem, the person who started a thread about whether or not to use 1 or 2 peices of cheese in his grilled cheese sandwich!
