Hi Alchemymaster Gendash and HOT~HUMUNCULOUS~,
Welcome to the board!! Nice to have you with us!!
Yes, we have quite few 12 years old, 13 years old, and other low-teen members, as well as more older members.
But, actually, age isn't that important, I think.
If you are a FMA fan, you are one of us, no matter what age!!

What matters is the CONTENT of your posts, and HOW you post them, IMO.
To that end, please take a moment to read our favorite posting FYI threads:
The Forum Rules (MUST READ for all new comers)
The Beginner´s Guide to Forum Decorum
They are full of useful info on posting on our board.
If you have any questions on posting on our board, feel free to post here and ask us!!

Hi .:Manga Master:., welcometo the board!!
Glad you found us!! Nice to have you on our board!!
I see you already read forum rules... Excellent!!
Hope to see your post on threads for your fav FMA characters (and more), in our FMA character discussion (anime and manga) forum!!
We also have long running Naruto and Inuyasha threads, too.
Oh, and if you like to have some of our members make a custome-made sig for you, check out many of our talented sig makers' "sig shop" threads in our Fanart forum!!

Hope to see many more of your posts!!

@lemonbuzz - Aha, you are finally here!!
Please make sure to read forum rules, ok??
And, stop making any more spam threads... Otherwise, you WILL get in trouble.
Hope you will start fresh again, follow forum rules, and have a wonderful time on our board!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------

@Roy Jr. - I think you are doing excellent job!! Keep up with your nice work!!

O_O ok er i guess i should say sorry for writing posts before readin the rules
its my first foruming and i thought people write lots here i guess people like to
keep old posts alive and dont like similar topics EDIT

Well, similar topics would be spam, and we do not like spam, so, don´t spam the newcomers thread nor any other threads! Thank you!

ty

You are very welcome, I hope you have a lot of fun around here. ^-^

@lemonbuzz - Yes, it IS necessary for us to keep using "existing threads", and ask members to refrain from making his/her own new thread for the same topic. And, here is why..
We currently have 25,185 registered members who are/were active, at one time or another, on this board.
Yes, 25,185 members!!

Now, imagine if each and every one of these members had decided that "Hey, I don't care if there is already a thread on this topic or not. I'm opening MY own thread for this topic!!"
Then, the forum would have been swamped with 25,185 extra duplicate threads on that same one topic!!

Next, imagine if each of these members did the same thing on MANY topics, making duplicate threads on many topics, like you did.. if each one did that on just 3 topics, making 3 extra duplicate threads... yeah, that's just 3 extra duplicate threads each PER MEMBER, but that, in aggregate, could have been 75,555 extra duplicate threads!!!!

Not to mention, you have made some SPAM threads also, right??
So, if everybody did that also, and each one have made few extra "nonsense" threads also, "just becuse feels like it," then that would have been another what?? 50,000 extra threads to 100,000 extra "nonsense" threads??

Now, how in the world we can keep our board to function properly and in orderly manners if this board were flooded like such many duplicate/spam threads???
We can't. The board would have been a total chaos, at least for a finite period, untill all these spam/duplicate threads've been cleaned out.
And, how long does it take to clean those thousands of unwanted threads?? Who knows!!
The board could have been shut down while it's getting the complete sweep-down, however long that takes... Or, worse.... (Ok, I don't know what's worse than the board getting shutt down, but we can think something here... )

....Anyway, that is why (at least a part of reason) we have to have "No duplicste thread" and "No spam thread" rules, and we have to ask our members not to open a new thread if we already have a thread for that topic, and also refrain from making nonsense threads, I think.

That way, the board can maintain fairly normal orders, rather than being a total chaos, and everyone can find out fairly easily which thread to go to when someone wants to discuss some topic on this board, rather than getting confused as to which one of "several thousand" duplicate threads he/she should be posting on for that topic.

(That doesn't mean you cannot post... just please stop opening any more random/spam/duplicate threads!! )

Anyway, see you around the board!!

heh, yesh it's most fun, but i'm glad you read the rules, since you have heres a cookie *gives cookie*

um yeah, just try to post meaningful posts, not like the ones you made in this thread or in other ones. You'll get into alot of trouble that way . But you'll get used to the Forum soon enough :3 Just keep on posting and remember to search when you make new threads. And spam in Spam Central.

Good luck!!

I'm glad you quickly enjoyed your stay here ! Read all those posts? Well, be sure to include the closed topics to learn from other people's mistakes!




Call yourself "newbie". We really don't want another "noob".
Enjoy your stay!

it's so nice to feel welcomed.
thank you sweety pie, roy jr.
and specially tombow, you made quite an effort pinpointing the most interesting forums
quite for my taste hehe.

actually i do have a question since none of you veterans mentioned it:
is my usage of small letters (only) violation of forum rules?
they're not that specific, though specific enough, still i couldn't gather from it.
i just really really dislike caps so..

let me know before i proceed posting.
thank you, again..

Welcme everybody! I'm quite very late this time, and I'm so sorry! Since everyone has told all about Forum Rules, The Beginner`s Guide to forum Decorum and of course, Popo`s Guide to Perfect Posting, which links are respectively in my previous posts, just check them if you haven`t read them yet!
I wish you all have a great time around the forums!!! Pease remember not to do a thing against the Forum Rules, nor irrespecting or anything to anyone, always be nice too.
@vertigo, if you use small fonts, people might get annoyed aty you, it`s sometimes easier if you used a biger size, that would be really nice, and you aren`t really using caps, so, try using those, just check out Popo`s Guide to Perfect Posting, and you'll see how it all works, PM me if you have any questions! See you!

@vertigo. - Glad to be of your service!!
About typing with all small letters...No, it's not against the forum rules, but... some people may mind it. (Just don't let sweety pie catch you doing that. Or you might get scolded!! )
The problem is that we recently had a couple of posters who used intentionally bad English, one with no punctuation marks at all, and they were also typing with only lower letters, and so some of our members are particularly "sensitive" to posts with only small letters at the moment, I think. (Although, your English is, otherwise, beautiful, and it's a pleasure to read your posts!!)
So, it might be ok with many members, but if you run into some members, you may get reminded about the lack of Capital letter usage in your post. (Just letting you know. )

But, otherwise, your English is so good, I wish everyone on the board could/would write as well as you do!! ...And, thank you for asking that question!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------

ETA: Frantically waving "hi!!" to EKE-san!!
It's soooo nice to see you again!!!

ETA-2: @EKE-san - Umm.. that... hehe... *giggles!!*
I'm not sure what it is, but it sounds cool, and I like it!! ^^
(And, I'm honored that Ailuro-san appointed me!! Whoa!! )

*hasn't been here for a good while* XD

@vertigo-san: Welcome, welcome, it's always nice to see new (and intelligent) faces joining from various countries around the world. In response to your question, no, there's really absolutely nothing wrong with typing in all lowercase letters—this is not a literature-writing forum, after all, so pretty much anything goes as long as the posts are still readable and non-spammy. (One of the less frequently-sighted members of the GP, ninja-senpai, actually types without using any capitalization herself. X3) And small or normal-sized font is also fine (gigantic text sizes are much more likely to be disruptive if used too often).

@Tombow-san: Ooh, is that a new title I see? X3

Um... since you mentioned it.
I had to strain my eyes to read your post.
I think it would be better if you wrote your posts in normal font size. Even if don't want to use caps, at least other readers can read your message better.

hello im new here, i became a member yesterday i just didnt see this thread

Hey everyone, I'm AlchemyOtaku but you can call me Carolina <3

I'm a 15 year old high school student who is obiously obssesed with anime/manga (especially Full Metal Alchemist)

I wanted to ask in a board if anyone (I hope this is not against the rules) would like to help me start a Wikia about FMA so that people can get the facts about FMA. It would be hard to start one on such a huge subject by my self so I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help out

hi im toushirou. i been in other forums but not as big as this one. i hope to have fun here and learn more about anime. and make new friends. =)

Not a bad idea, but may I suggest asking in "Penny For Your Thoughts"? Quite a few people don't look at this thread. Anyway, welcome to the forums.
