Common Sense Guidelines for Joining the Cesspool known as XPT

1) Lurk & Learn. Keep your pie-hole shut. (Recommended 3 months minimum)

2) Dip toes in first, don't just jump blindly into the cesspool. Make some innocuous responses to current posts. (Hint: Be non-confrontational, make simple observations or positive additions to the thread.

3) After you've been flamed, dissed, insulted, or just tolerated by the regulars with 5000+ posts (for maybe 6 months to a year), then you can consider starting your own thread.

4) Remember where you are. Nobody here truly hates anyone else here. (After all, you'd more then likely only be hating the make-believe virtual avatar of a manufactured personality who exists only on XPT. And what a big waste of your life that would be.) So don't take anything personally. OR maybe you should take it personally. It is much more entertaining that way.
