Seeing as we've got a lot of new members, I thought I might post some info that new (and existing!) members might find useful. Not that anyone's been bad! On the contrary the board has been really clean and enjoyable to post in and we want to keep it that way!
Could people just

Be Nice: No posting of material that antagonizes, harasses or creates hostility toward another user or group of. Be Courteous: No posting to purposely interfere with normal dialog flow.

If you enter a fake email address, the system can't send you your password. We DO NOT give out email addresses nor do we sell them to any 3rd party. We hate spammers as much as you Be Spam Free: Please don't post the same material to multiple areas. Please no commercial postings or self-serving messages. This is a discussion board. No posting of messages to promote your own web page URL. A URL in your Signature IS allowed though. Be Understanding: We reserve the right to delete any message we feel violates any of these rules.

Be Trustworthy: Do not post private email from others that you have received directly from them. If they want their words public, let them post it. Be Responsible: Do not post slanderous, libelous or any defamatory statements on the Ironworks Gaming Forum, we will not be held responsible for your posts, but just the same, we'd rather not go there! Posts that appear to be defamatory should have supporting references included. Be Careful: Nobody at Ironworks Gaming will ask you for your password. Keep your password in a safe place. Although the administrators and moderators of the Ironworks Gaming Forum will attempt to keep all objectionable messages off this forum, it is impossible for us to review all messages. All messages express the views of the author, and the operators of Ironworks Gaming will not be held responsible for the content of any message. POLICY RE: SPOILERS A spoiler is something that reveals information about a plot twist or the location of some object/character/hidden place. Spoilers are by their nature subjective - you will need to use your judgment to determine what these are. A lot of people get on these boards to talk about general game issues, such as "What is the best party for whatever" or "Should I drop whoever from my group?". These types of posts usually don't require spoilers as they are general information. Other people might have specific game questions like "How do i get past so-and-so" or "Where is such-and-such". These would be considered posts requesting spoiler information. Some are obviously bigger spoilers than others. There are also posts which refer to specific plot twists in BG2. A lot of people who come here do NOT know about certain plot twists which the rest of us might take for granted. Unmarked spoilers about these detract from these people's gaming experience. The majority of people don't like finding out about a plot twist before they were meant to. As a courtesy to other board members who may not have gotten as far in the game as you have, please abide by the following when requesting or revealing spoiler information:

OK, I changed the color to light blue, I hope it's easier to read. I want it to be bright and arresting
