This should help you get started on the right foot.
Message boards are similar to chat rooms, but do not work the same way.
Unlike in a chat rooms, message boards are not actual conversations in real time (you are not talking to a person right then and there). You are simply leaving a message and later on, someone will respond. Therefore, no need for chatspeak, eboinks or any kind of internet slang. You have time to think about what you are saying and time to type it correctly. LOL, LMAO, watup or anything like that doesnt really fly on message boards and can annoy the other members. Keep that in mind as you post here.
We understand that a lot of you are young and still in school. The best is all you can do, right? So, as long as you are trying it isnt an issue with most members.

Let me just wholeheartedly second this (and I bolded my favorite part). This is something that could greatly improve the board, and we need to see more of this...
