its like a large force of win going through fusion, thus creating a chain reaction of a huge asplosion of win destroying any fail within its awesomeness.

I organized a long list of items that any new member should read upon their arrival at Bungie. This list that includes:

* How to use this site
* The Terms of Use and Code of Conduct in Spanish and French.
* Each list of rules, for each forum.
* The Overall Forum Rules
* Meet the Ninjas
* Other tibits of information (Links to other threads) that should cut down the number of obvious threads.

I hope this will ease the minds of all new members!

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

You got that under the character limit? How close was it?

Oh yeah, nice job.

Good job, very informative.

I take issue with the somewhat vicious use of line breaks though... Is this:

The Underground...

Really an efficient use of space? =P

Also a neat little trick for anyone who is replying to a question about the text markups... If you want to say how to make an item of text italic, for instance, but are foxed by the fact that if you type out the markups they won't show up, (and therefore have to resort to something as above:
Posted by: FightingRaven531
Markup Tags - Use these to add style and and links to your thread. (Remove Periods)

Italic
[i] text [/i.]
) then you can do this:

Type out the instruction like so: "To write a word in italics, put [i[b][/b]] in front of the word and [/i[b][/b]] after it".

The bold markups disappear, but break up the italic one allowing it to be typed exactly as it should be. Your instruction will come out like this: "To write a word in italics, put [i] in front of the word and [/i] after it" =)

I applaud you good sir.
Especially on the translation pages, now no one has any excuse!

-Quaere verum.

Got a report? Use the report tool or send a pm.
Chairleg Productions presents: 'Console Wars' and 'Games as Art?' (also on Halo Waypoint).

Like it. Nice idea for people new here to come and read up on these things rather than having to make separate threads.

I think maybe you should have included just a link to Toast's thread at the end and one would have hoped that members would have read the rules before they join as a member, but i like the idea of translation.

Maybe now you could go sort those link spaces of yours out ;]
