This community has been created so that you can exchange ideas, converse and meet others who share a common interest.

Here are some guidelines:

• Keep your posts relevant to the forum category.
• Please be respectful of others and don’t sweat the small stuff.
• Please do not post any personal information or photos that you wouldn’t want to be seen by the public.
• Do not post hateful or illegal content. Do not post copyrighted material without proper attribution.
• SPAM will not be tolerated.
• Use private messages to chat with moderators or other members in private.

In summary: be polite, enjoy yourself, and help us build a great community.

Here are a few tips for you as the administrator:

• Use the Getting Started checklist in the Dashboard to get your site ready for visitors.
• Don't create too many categories. We recommend 3-8 to start with, keep it simple for your users!
• Announce a discussion (click the gear) to stick to the top of the list, and Close it to stop further comments. This is useful for posting the rules, or welcoming new members.
• Use Sink to take attention away from a discussion that might be getting out of hand. New comments will no longer bring it back to the top of the list.
• Bookmark a discussion (click the star) to get notifications for new comments. You can edit notification settings from your profile.

We've created a few sample discussions to help get you started. They contain some useful "Day 1" information and also show you how things might look once your forum has a bit of real activity. Feel free to keep, edit, or delete them as you see fit!

Now spread the word to get this place cooking. Cheers!
