A Guide to the BBS

The Newgrounds BBS, or
Bulletin Board System, was
first introduced in 2001.

It is the largest gathering place
for Newgrounds users, and is
the place to become a well known
user.

What is it?

In a sense, the BBS is a chat
room. However, it is different in
the sense that you create topics
and post in others, and it is split
into various forums.

Post it!

It is advised that you read
the rules very carefully
before you make a topic.

Making a topic

First of all, consider whether
your idea for a topic meets the
following things:

It is interesting or funny in
some way.

It is not mindless spam or
stupidly ridiculous.

It makes sense.

Also, please note that posting about
Runescape is considered to be basically
the same as suggesting that everybody go
rape a kitten to BBS users.

Once you think your topic meets the criteria,
select 'Create a Topic' in the top left hand
corner.
Fill out the box and select 'Post it!'

To make a topic which is both funny and
successful, you generally need to be a well
known user.
Unless you are MickTheChampion, a topic
about how Pokemon caused 9/11 will not go
down well.
To get well known, make helpful posts and make
good topics, people will soon get to know you.

You can also reply to topics by clicking on them
and selecting the appropriate button.
To quote somebody's message, press 'Quote
this post' , which in placed convinently above
their message.

The Forums

There are eight different forums, so make
sure you make your topic in the right one!

General

General is the fastest moving forum and
the place to make topics that fit into no
other forum.

If you post, there is a chance that others
will delibrately argue to make you angry.
Ignore them.

Where is it?/How to?

If you have a question, this is the place
to ask it.

This forum contains very little spam.
However, it has few regular users so it
moves the slowest of all the forums.

Remember, if you want help with a game,
post a link to it. If the question is about
flash or programming, post it in the
appropriate forum.

Politics

Newgrounds has some serious
users too.

These guys are generally found
in the politics forum, which covers
religion too.

Joke threads don't go down well
here, I advise you to make those
in General.

My top tip would be to watch out
for Cellardoor6 and ignore him at
all costs; he's a nasty little
bugger.

Flash

Anybody interested in flash, the
software for making movies on
Newgrounds, should post here.

Flash collabs (joint movies) can be
started here, but only if you have a
batting average of 3+.

Batting Average is the average
score of your flash movies, provided
you have more than three.

Programming

Similar to flash,
programming includes
scripting and coding.

Action-Script however,
must be discussed in the
Flash forum.

If you are interested, be sure to
check out Afro-Ninja's
programming regulars lounge!

Clubs and Crews

C & C contains by far the biggest
topics, some reaching over one
thousand pages!

It is a place to start a club for people
with a similar interest to you, such as
a sport or game.

Remember to use the search bar at
the bottom of the page to make sure
your club hasn't been done before.

Clubs can normally be
split into the following
category's:

Rpgs
Sports
TV Shows
Helpful
Gaming
Other

Audio

Like a forum for the audio portal,
this is the place to go if you make
music for flash.

This is music such as
Milkman_Dan's lovely piece
you're listening to.

Art

Created in September 2006, Art
is the newest forum.

It allows users to upload much
bigger pictures than usual and
created great Newgrounds figures,
such as:

Penicorns!

A recent craze had been art collabs,
where each user carries on from the
last and they make a movie out of it.

This started with a thread called
'The Red Line' by HeRetiK.

My top tip would be to not get on
the bad side of MindChamber, he'll
destroy every topic you make if you
do.

Mods

Moderators are the BBS's way of
stopping spam and other things that
break the rules.

They are users who did such good
jobs on the forums that they were
granted modship, and gained the
ability too...
