Welcome one and all to the Pirate Monkeys Message Board!
Now, I can tell you that this is a board for the Pirate Monkeys, and you might say "Oh, that's cool!" But I think there's an even better chance that you'll say "What the hell are you talking about?" This board is for all of us people who went to Hempfield Highskool. For all of us geeks who had to endure four years within the walls of Hempfield, or for those of us who are still enduring it now. We are all tied together by some kind of bond of friendship or whatever and we don't want to loose touch with each other, just because high skool may be over. That is who we are. We are the Pirate Monkeys.
And why be a Pirate Monkey? What is this board here for? The reason for all this, as I explained on my main page, RubberPiggy.com, is just to have a place where we can all keep in touch and know where to find each other, because of course, we're not always gonna be here in good, old, cow-stinky Lancaster, PA. The message board is the most vital part of this feat, as this is the place where we will always be able to communicate with one another, no matter what happens in our lives. My hopes are that you all can see this the way that I do, and that we can keep this alive for years to come.
Any friends you have from Hempfield are welcome, so everyone please, feel free to invite your friends to our boards to give us a great, big, happy community thingy!
First off, lemme just list some quick board rules. Hopefully Ade won't mind that I'm kinda stealing his TL rules, heh... Anyway, here they are:
1. SPAM is not acceptable. For the purposes of this forum SPAM means any post designed purely to be irritating/raise postcount. We don't necessarily mind random outbursts of silliness. Just make sure you're not annoying anyone else with them. For example, running in and shouting about cheese in the middle of a serious discussion on religion is a no-no.
2. No flaming. This goes without saying. I'd like it for everyone to get along... or failing that, tolerate each other.
3. Read the forum descriptions before posting. This is a rather important one, and saves me a lot of hassle moving things. If you wanna post a topic, take the time to make sure you're actually posting it in the right place, m'kay?
Also, the boards here have four categories: Important Stuff, Chatty Chatty Chatty, Because We're Away From Home, and Fun and Games. Here's a breif overveiw of each:
Important Stuff: Well, this is pretty self-explanitary. Board Announcements is for me to announce stuff, RubberPiggy.com Updates for me to tell you about any updates I made to RubberPiggy.com, Board Help is for if you have any questions about how to do something on the board or where to post stuff, and Suggestions is for any suggestions you may have for the board or RubberPiggy.com.
Chatty Chatty: These are all the boards for some basic chatting. Everybody, Everyone, Anything is the board for anyone to chat about anything they want, as long as it doesn't go on another board. Entertainment is for talking about any TV, movies, music and video games. Meaningless Babbling is for any stupid things people want to post that have no meaning whatsoever. That and ads.
Because We're Away From Home: These are the special boards to help us keep in touch and up to date with each other's lives when we're off at collage and whatnot. Home and Plans is the board where you can let your friends know when you'll be back home here to Lancaster and you can even make your plans and stuff with the other people who are here. Life Events Revealed is the board where you can let everyone know what's going on in your life and how everything is going for you, since you don't always get the chance to tell all your friends how things are going for you when you don't actually get to see them all the time.
Fun and Games: These boards are just a few extra things that could be fun for everyone to check out. Polls and Games is the place where we can all post and take part in any polls or games. Pretty self expanitory, as is Quotes and Song Lyrics, where you can post all of your favorite quotes and song lyrics, and then we can all read and enjoy them!
Well, that's all I have to say here. I just hope everyone has a great time on the boards and... uh... be happy!
