So, you just joined the elite message board. Getting people to recognize you as a unique individual with feelings can be tough. Here's a few tips to help you survive the inevitable hazing ritual any n00b will face:

• make ur 1st psot memerable by3 postig w; perf3ct spellin/ puncshuashun[ n gramer.

• Advertising your webpage or board is inappropriate. If you would like to advertise, go here.

• ALWAYS TYPE IN ALL CAPS. IT WILL GRAB MORE ATTENTION AND ISN'T THE LEAST BIT ANNOYING.

• Find the most respected person and flame them. Their respect will be transferred over to you.

• shrthnd wll dcrs tm spnt rdn psts. frgt abt vwls.

• Make fun of someone. Then, put a smiley at the end of your post. They will understand that it was a joke and invite you over to their house for tea and sandwiches.

• Remember: the very fact that you exist gives you the ability to kick everyone's ass.

• Everyone cares about you as a human being. Even if it means posting every 25 minutes, you should keep everyone up to date on your most unrelatable, irrelevant personal problems.

• Gain the unconditional trust of everyone before doing something really stupid. They will forgive you.

• The only way to learn things is to make a new topic for every question. It will upset people if you make one, long post with all of them.
