-Rules-

Rule 1: Do not be a d**k.
Do not find someone within the Cult and just argue with whatever it is that they say. Do not hold grudges, do not make snide comments about other members, and do not belittle a person for not knowing something that is obvious to you. We were all teh nubz once, and at one point, we did not know something that is obvious to us now.


Rule 2: Use proper English.
One of the things that the Nintendo Cult tries to pride itself on is having good intelligent sounding people that can type well. This includes (but is not limited to): good sentence structure, spelling, grammar, punctuation, and knowing when is and is not a good time to use 73H 1337.


Rule 3: Use the subforums correctly.
When creating a thread, make sure you place it in the right section of the Cult. Our facility is not very large, so this should not be a common problem. Please refer to the [OVERWORLD] section below for help. If you are completely unsure, try Private Messaging an online member and asking them or asking someone in the Spam Can.


Rule 4: Do not make repeat threads.
When creating a new thread, look around on the first page for others that may have the same topic as yours. Rather than starting a new thread about the same topic, simply post in one if it is already established. Also, when making a thread, try to keep the title from being too ambiguous or vague.


Rule 5: Do not revive dead threads (Necroing).
Necroing is the act of reviving a thread that is old, and “dead.” If a thread is much beyond the first page, the chances are the topic at hand is most likely old and done with. Do not revive a thread that is beyond the second page.


Rule 6: Do not make the following threads:
-“Come here for help on *insert game* here!”
-Versus threads. (Link versus Goku, who would win?!)
-Help me in the avatar arena!
-Nintendo sucks, lololol!
-Microsoft/Sony sucks, lololol!
-Goodbye threads. If you’re going to leave, just leave. Don’t make a big drama fest about it.
-Advertising threads. If you want to advertise your guild, thread, art, etc, consult a mod via PM.
-“Official *blank* topic!” Consult a mod via PM about these, as well.
-Spam topics. "Hey guys i just took a s**t lol"
-Countdown threads. "30 days until I take a poop guyz lulz!"

Rule 7: Do not bump.
If you’ve made a thread and it isn’t getting very much attention, that’s unfortunate, but you are not allowed to bump within the Nintendo Cult. Posting two times in a row is looked down upon, but no longer against the rules.


You can be banned for breaking any of these or any reason at all at any time.

-Forums-


The Main Forum
To start off, we have the main forum, which is where all of the Nintendo-related discussion goes on. Here we talk about anything from the old Hanafuda cards of 1889 to the present of the DS and Wii, to the future of the successor to these consoles and anything inbetween!

Wi-Fi Connection
Honestly, this subforum doesn’t get used all that much. Here you can talk about online games for any of Nintendo’s platforms. Make plans to play, exchange friend codes and compete with one another. Most people just use the Spam Can and MSN to exchange and make plans, though.

The Mods’ Discussion
This right here? This is where that true s**t takes place. No, you can’t come in. Far too gangsta.

Social Room
Here we have the Social Room, where you can talk about anything and everything! This is kind of like the Chatterbox of Gaia, except without most of the bullshit that goes on there. If you want to talk to Nintendo fans, but to take a break from actually talking about Nintendo, this is the place to go, but please use the main forum too.

The Gallery
Finally, we have The Gallery. This is where you go to post media that you want to show off. Gameplay trailers, funny YouTube videos or flash movies, cool bands, neat art, etc. This is also where you go to set up an art shop for fellow Cult members.

The Cult Cast!
(The Nintendo Cult has its very own podcast! We aren’t too regular with it, nor are we too skilled, but we hope you’ll give it a listen and leave us some feedback. We could use it!)

SPAM CAN
(This is where spam goes. Most members come here to socialize, which is fine, but hey-come talk about Nintendo in the main forum, too!)

HEY NEW MEMBERS
(This is where you can go to introduce yourself if you’re a new member!)

PYP Thread!
(Here you can post pictures of yourself! Come look at how ugly we all are. I’m sure it’ll make you feel better~)

LOL HOUSE
(This is a thread to post things in that make you laugh. The idea is to come here whenever you’re feeling down, so it will cheer you up! So don’t bash people’s posts, guys.)

Cult Banners
(Banners to advertise your favorite Nintendo guild, the Cult!)
