Nelle's LBFCA Forum Purple Pages Basics

Please read before registering and posting at the new Forum Purple Pages.

NOTE FROM NELLE, August 14, 2006, 8:30 am:

Because so many people registered using screen names that are not according to the LBFCA Purple Pages traditions, by the morning of our second day we changed the message on the registration page to read as follows:

"IN KEEPING WITH LBFCA TRADITIONS - WE USE PEOPLE NAMES, NOT SCREENNAMES -

PLEASE CHOOSE A NON-CLAYCENTRIC USERNAME WITH NO NUMBERS WHEN YOU REGISTER.

THANK YOU."

Attempts to register will not be activated otherwise.

If you have already successfully registered: with a screen name that is Clay-centric, contains numerals, or is not a people name, you will recieve a pm from the MP Broads asking you to reply and tell us your new screen name...you cannot change your screen name yourself, you must wait for a MP Broad to do so. If you do not reply to the pm within 24 hours, your registration will be deleted.

While this is not a perfect system, what qualifies as "people names" will be decided at the discretion of the MP Broads.

The LBFCA Main Page, and all of our archived MPs will continue and remain at lbfca.diaryland.com

The LBFCA Forum Purple Pages Index serves as the main portal to the LBFCA Forum Purple Pages

To return to the LBFCA Main Page from the forum, click on the banner at the top of the forum...yea that smoking purpley pic of Clay Aiken

The Main Page Broads are Administrators and Moderators of the LBFCA Forum Purple Pages, but we still consider ourselves primarily the Main Page Broads of Lecherous Broads for Clay Aiken---we really don't want to get all admin-y and mod-y on the welcome participants of LBFCA

The Rules and Traditions of LBFCA remain, including that anyone can join because being a "Broad" is a state of mind, our One Post Per Hour Tradition on the PPs, our disclaimer that LBFCA is not appropriate for minor children, the statement in The Manifesto that no one is allowed to say anything mean about Clay Aiken, and, according to our Welcome page we tend to be pretty considerate of everyone else, too (the Welcome to LBFCA and 10 Simple Rules MP will be revised to include this instructional in place of the current description for participating on the PPs)

We wanted to set up a user-friendlier message board than signmyguestbook.com. The Main Page Broads have collaborated on making many decisions in an effort to make this forum message board a re-creation of our familiar Purple Pages and related Guestbooks...I mean, threads

Some important points regarding the similarities and differences between this forum and the guestbooks at signmyguestbook.com, and how we hope to maintain our familiar traditions:


REGISTRATION:

Must register to post, but registration is automatic--we will not be pre-screening/approving registrants

Must enter a valid email address to register

May select to make email address public when registering---it is set up to default to private if this selection is not made

We ask Broads who have posted on the Purple Pages at signmyguestbook.com to register at the new forum with the same user name/screen name...let's not be confusing everyone when we are all adjusting to the changes

According to LBFCA Purple Pages tradition, as explained in the Welcome to LBFCA and 10 Simple Rules MP, we prefer Broads use normal sounding screen names...such as Erin, Jan, etc, rather than Clay-centric names such as crazy4clay4evah. We consider this a style that makes our Purple Pages distinctive from other boards in Clay Nation

The registration process will automatically block new registrants from duplicating a current registrants' user name


CONTACTING THE MP BROADS ADMINS/MODS AS A GROUP:

To send a group message to the MP Broads, such as if you discover a troll or spam post on the PPs, or to privately make a suggestion or request about the operations of LBFCA, email to: [email protected], or follow one of the links to contact MP Broads via email or pm near the top left of the LBFCA Forum Purple Pages Index page

All the MP Broads will receive this email or pm, and a decision will be made from whom and what response will be sent


EDITING:

All registrants will have the capability to edit your own posts...if you make a posting error you can correct it yourself, rather than go through an MP Broad

Main Page Broad Admins and Mods will have the capacity to edit others' posts. Such as if a Broad attempts a link, and it doesn't work, we may be able edit and correct it, or we can edit out part of a post, but keep the rest. Or, to correct inadvertent and unintentional mistakes by participants


BANNING:

Unlike at signmyguestbook.com, Main Page Broad Admins will have the capability, and discretion, to ban participants who violate the Rules and Traditions of LBFCA. We intend to reserve this capability for the occasional troll and spam post. We hope to continue our tradition of offering guidance on participation openly on the Purple Pages, but will use PMs for serious violations and banning activities


POSTING:

DO NOT USE HTML CODE--the forum is based on BB Code, none of which you need to know to enter a basic text post, but for which helpful buttons appear on the posting page

You will find Odin's Guide to BB Code in the Welcome to LBFCA forum

To post on the Purple Pages:

From the LBFCA Forum Purple Pages Index, select links twice to "The Purple Pages"

Scroll down to bottom of page, select button to "post reply"

No need to enter a "Subject"

Type your desired post in the large white field

No need to use code for paragraphs...just hit "return" on your keyboard to create paragraphs

DO NOT change the font defaults for text size and color (we may allow these options to be used for special occasions, like Sept. 19...we'll announce in advance if we do)

DO NOT post images on the PPs

DO NOT use siggies, avatars, or other graphics on the PPs

We want the new PPs to look as much as possible like the familiar PPs, where our focus has always been on the content of our written innuendo and wit rather than the bells and whistles of the graphics...the only graphic we need on the PPs is the color PURPLE :-)

You may preview your post and modify it as many times as you want prior to posting

DO NOT sign your posts...because you are registered, your user name/screen name is automatically attached, and will appear to the left of your posts

Hit "Submit"


To post in the Photos Thread:

Just like in the signmyguestbook.com Photo GB, you need to host your own images

It is not good netiquette to hot link from another user (say, from someone else's board or photo album), because it drains their bandwidth

If you have web space of your own (many internet providers give some web space to their clients, so you might want to check that), you can load them up on your space according to their directions

If you don't have web space, there are some photo services for sharing photos. Two popular ones are Shutterfly and PhotoBucket. Most have free registration

Remember: you need to use a photo source that anyone can view without a password or the link won't work

If you have questions, refer to Odin's Pictures post in Odin's Guide to BB Code


PRIVATE MESSAGING:

Private Messaging (PM) is a new feature


FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ):
