How to Use an Internet Forum

Using an internet forum can be a very enjoyable experience if approached with the right attitude and the right knowledge. Learn how to do it here.
Steps

1. Fill out a registration and provide some information in order to become a member of an internet forum.
2. When you first begin to post, be polite. You will feel intimidated by veteran users at first, but don't start a "Hi, I'm new" topic or anything like that. If you're respectful to older members, you will earn your own respect in due time.
3. Be very thoughtful about your posts, and follow all of the rules as you advance in ranks and your reputation becomes better.
4. Have a good time and enjoy the friends you have made and the laughs you have shared in the forum!


Tips

* You should read some of the posts in a forum before joining. If you don't like what you are seeing, save yourself the trouble and don't join.
* Always follow the established rules of a forum.
* Don't become obsessed about your post count or forum ranking. The only way to garner praise and respect is with good, thoughtful posting. Lots of meaningless posts will get you nowhere.


Warnings

* In order to stay safe, don't share personal information such as full name, phone number, or address to anyone else in the forum.
