This should, with luck, be a pretty freewheeling place with an environment set up for exchange of ideas-- both popular and fringe.
You can add links and formatting to text-- but not with HTML tags. Please see the topic "Formatting" under the Documentation menu at left for instructions on how to format text and links on this BBS system.
If you don't see your post immediately after you've submitted it, don't worry, and don't re-submit it. It's in the system, trust me! Just hit the "Reload" button on your browser, or if that doesn't work, leave the page and come back. Netscape Communicator seems to have a little bit of a problem with persistent caching of the page so that new posts don't show up right away. Netscape 3 should just take a press of your brower's "Reload" button.
Registering for a username will enable you to be informed (via e-mail) when someone replies to your posts. You will also be eligible to participate in private discussion forums. Please send e-mail to: mod@nrrdgrrl.com with your desired username and password. Please only apply for a username and password through private e-mail. For security reasons, don't post your username and password requests to the board.
Although it makes for a better community sense, you do not *need* to register a username in order to participate on the general discussion area if you don't want to.
As stated earlier, we all hope that this place is lively-- however, anyone found to be outrageously abusive of either the system or other members will be *erased*. Please report any flagrant abuse to: mod@nrrdgrrl.com
That's about it. I'm new at this, so please let me know if there are any questions or problems with the board.
Thanks!
