Hello, Thespammer
THIS IS SERIOUS; READ IT.
Congratulations on joining ED! You probably fit into one of these categories:
- 1. New User
- Before making your first article look over ED:101. Try checking out random articles and fixing typos, grammar and/or bullshit where you find them before trying to make a new page. To start with, make multiple small edits to different articles until you have the hang of it. If you don't, it is unlikely that your article will survive for more than sixty seconds and you risk being molested by ED Sysops.
- If you don't know anything about wiki formatting and code, please read ED:BASIC and the Style Guide. Take your time and start slowly.
- 2. Mediawiki Migrant If you're an experienced wiki user (probably from a Wikipedia offshoot) who knows how to operate, please read ED:101 for offical policy and ED:MIGRANT for tips on assimilation and basic rules.
Whichever you are, to successfully contribute to ED, please take some time to look around, note why other people get banned and don't act like they did.
Communication with other users prevents misunderstandings and can be done through talk pages, TJC and the mailing list.
If you plan on sticking around, feel free to make your mark on the ED:Map and join the all new ED Facebook, the ED Myspace the ED Bebo and follow the ED Twitter.

[edit] PROTIP:
When making a new article, try making it either in your userspace or in notepad. Starting a stub with nothing will be flush material. --Jawsome OMG LENSFLARE! 21:15, 25 March 2008 (CDT)
Hey dude, I don't want to discourage you, but make sure you look at ED:LULZ before putting a lot of time into an article. White•Mystery
Sorry... it wont happen again
No no no no no no! I DON'T want to discourage you! I just don't want you putting a lot of time into something that might not be within our realm of interest. But if you want to write and contribute, I AM encouraging you 100% to do so. I'm happy to give you resources and tips for whatever you need and point you in the direction of good articles on site.

I was trying to do it because of this (scroll down to the 2012 bit.. if it's not funny then i wont do it)
Ooooooooh no, no you're absolutely right. I thought you were writing about the YEAR 2012, not the forum. The forum is totally serious business and needs an article! Keep going! White•Mystery
ok i'll try :D
