I realized that some users don't quite understand some common forum terms used. So I made a list to clarify them.

---

Forum - This is the 'section' that you are in... Example: Miscellaneous, This Plaza, Poetry, etc..

Sub-forum - This is a smaller 'section' within an actual forum... Example: Feature Suggestions, Real Life Stories, Nintendo DSi, etc..

Thread - This an actual discussion within the forum... Example: The Chat Thread, The WWE Discussion Thread, The Brony Thread, etc..

Bump - This is commenting on a thread that has been 'dead' for 30 days. This is against the rules...

Lock - This is obviously closing your thread so no one else can comment on it anymore...

Sticky - This one of the yellow threads you can find on the top of your forum menu. These are the 'special threads' if you will...

Move - This is an action forum mods only can do. They can move a thread to a whole new forum or subforum.

OP - Original Poster, this is the person who created the thread.

^ (up arrow) - This is commonly used as an arrow. Mainly to reply to someone... Example: "^ I agree" , "^ This" , "^ You're wrong".

+1 - This is used to show that you've given an appreciation to a thread.


I think I got most of the main ones. If you think I missed anything, please feel free to suggest.

Don't include "fgt" because it's stupid and for lazy faggots.

I don't even know what it means. Well, I know what it is but now what it stands for.

But ok, maybe later if I feel like it

I thought it was "Not Suitable For Work".

Oh well, it pretty much means the same thing. Anyways, good thread. +1
