New to this forum?

Introduce yourself here!

==============
Forum Rules:
==============
1) Please don't reply to a thread if you think it is "stupid" or "gay" "insert homosexual terms here".
2) Try not to reply to a thread with just a smile.
3) Try to avoid unnecessary conversations between one member as well. They screw up a topic so simply keep On-Topic or PM them and ask for their AIM, MSN, ICQ or whatever and chat on there.
4) Don't double post unless its nessecary.
5) Don't flame newbies, it just scares away potential members.
6) Try to refrain from making the "my (insert post number) threads" unless its a good number like 1,000.
7) Try to keep your sig a decently small size, nobody likes scrolling through a page of your huge signature. This means, your signature image can't be heigher than 120px (and please don't add much text lines with it).
9) NEVER EVER REPLY TO THE ATTENTION SEEKING THREADS, let a mod or an admin take care of it
10) Post things in the CORRECT forum. For example, we've been finding Video Releases in General Chat or in Funny shit. Please READ and SEE what you're doing.
11) If you want to get your name changed or have any questions about posting or your profile. Please PM any of the Admins/ MODS instead of starting topics about this.
12) If you have a question about any kind of subject (how do I do this or that in Adobe Premiere..?) FIRST use the SEARCH function on the site and if you can't find anything, feel free to post your question.

Detailed Forum Rules:
==============
AIM / MSN:
----------
Do not contact an admin or S-mod, especially me via AIM or MSN, unless you have anything to say, I get a lot of random people here, seeing my screen name, coming on AIM and messanging me with nothing to say, except "SUP" Everytime I sign in to MSN / AIM I get at least 10 people IM me simueltaneously in the first minute, this is pissing me off.
Flaming:
--------
Some established members feel the need to act clever and try PWN some newbies when they join, not only will this stop them coming back, but it makes threads annoying to go through, if a newbie outputs a crap clip stop with the "OGM, YOU SUCK, DIE AND ROT IN HELL AND LEAVE HGF!!111" Instead suggest nice ways in which a group can improve without insulting them or calling them gay. If you are just fooling with someone, then thats another story, but keep newbie flaming down.
Admin / S-mod positions:
------------------------
No, you cannot be an admin or smod, we have too many considering the size of the forum as it is, we choose positions, if you request to be one we shall make you feel stupid.
Illiteracy:
-----------
If you can't write a coherent word, don't. A word filter is in place which blocks many "TXT" words that piss people off in general, this is also a pain as a lot of links pasted the word filter modifies if it contains any of the words, which leads to the odd dead link, talking like a retard is not clever, type in simple language, if you arn't the greatest in spelling and grammar we accept it, just try to improve.
Fonts / sizes / colour:
-----------------------
Use these only in the event you want to emphasize something, I noticed some people using them for every post, not only will your relations and jesus hate you for doing so, it also looks stupid.
================================
I've just joined, and want to view the HG forums!
================================
You need 20 posts to view these, This is in place for a reason, and I don't expect to see you introducing your group or posting clips / videos in any other forum. If you spam, make one stupid post or anything that annoys me and degrades the quality of posts here you shall instantly be IP banned. This means you cannot gain access to this forum full time again unless you move house, or change ISP.
==================================
I'm illiterate, retarded and don't know how to spell
==================================
Well you better start pulling out a dictionary and taking a leaf from my book. Everyone can spell and take the time to double check what they've posted. If you do it continuously, don't bother to improve you wil be IP banned. We don't expect everyone to be perfect, and the odd mistake is fine, but if I see "like wee wennt 2 da playce nd did ths" this is unnacceptable, neither is leetspeek and neither is word abbreviations or messenger lingo tolerated.
===================================
I want to be mod!
===================================
No, if you ask and annoy me constantly about being one, you get banned.
