| What is BBCode?
BBCode is a special implementation of HTML. You can use BBCode in most areas of the site. You can also disable it on a per post basis from the posting form. BBCode itself is similar in style to HTML: tags are enclosed in square braces [ and ] rather than < and > and it offers greater control over what and how something is displayed. For more information on BBCode see the guide which can be accessed from the posting page.
Can I use HTML?
NO, reason is to stop people from abuse HTML code that can harm this website and its users. So NO you can not.
What are Smileys?
Smileys, or Emoticons, are small graphical images which can be used to express some feeling using a short code, e.g.  means happy,  means sad. The full list of emoticons can be seen via the posting form. Try not to overuse smileys, though, as they can quickly render a post unreadable and a moderator may decide to edit them out or remove the post altogether.
Can I post Images?
Images can indeed be shown in your posts. You can upload images and other files to the website using the 'Attach file' part of the post form, however we do not own must upload space for users, therefore attachments will be deleted over time to make room, check out This FAQ for more information, you can also use the 'Host an image' button on the post form. You can also link to an image stored on a publicly accessible web server, e.g. http://www.some-unknown-place.net/my-picture.gif. You cannot link to pictures stored on your own PC (unless it is a publicly accessible server) nor to images stored behind authentication mechanisms such as Hotmail or Yahoo mailboxes, password-protected sites, etc. To display the image use either the BBCode [img] tag or attach it.
What are Announcements?
Announcements often contain important information and you should read them as soon as possible. Announcements appear at the top of every page in the forum to which they are posted. Whether or not you can post an announcement depends on the permissions required, which are set by 'TheDarkCube'. Global Announcements are the same but more important and will be displayed at the top of every forum.
What are Sticky topics?
Sticky topics appear below any announcements in viewforum and only on the first page. They are often quite important so you should read them where possible. As with announcements it determines what permissions are required to post sticky topics in each forum.
What are Locked topics?
Locked topics are set this way by either a forum moderator or 'TheDarkCube'. You cannot reply to locked topics and any poll contained inside is automatically ended. Topics may be locked for many reasons.
