Hello, I'm Brighteye, and I'd like to welcome you to the official DragAdopt forums! 
Please keep in mind that if you are a member of the forums, you should probably be a member of the site, dragadopt.myadopts.com/ .
Before you post, though, I'd like everyone to keep in mind that there are, yes, rules to this forum. I'll start with the biggest ones, down to the smallest ones.
1) Treat others like you would want to be treated.
This is probably the most obvious rule in the book, people. That means no cussing, flame wars, none of that. If I see ANYONE breaking this rule, they will definitely be warned or even banned.
2) Anyone ever heard of spamming?
ah, spamming. A forum's worst enemy. Spamming is when someone simply posts random things that have nothing to do with the topic. For example: In a board about Dragons, a user will post, "ohmaigod i like pie!!!!!111!!!" Spamming is definitely not recommended. It will not get you banned (at the most, warned or a negative karma), but spamming may be a big problem.
3) You must stay on topic in the forums!
Okay, let me get this straight out to you: if you post in the Comments and Suggestions forum about your day at school, then you will be flat out warned. I know that there is an Open Discussion forum, and that's perfect for stuff like this, but I'm also sure that if someone made a topic about Video Games, then they wouldn't want you blabbing about your favorite flavor of ice cream. This fits hand-in-hand with the be respectful rules.
4) You must talk about the site, DRAGADOPT, in the forums that influence so.
What this rule basically means is that in the forums all under the "DragAdopt Chat" category will, ultimately, be about DragAdopt, not any other website that you happened to stumble upon.
5) Please, don't give out any personal information!
People, this is the INTERNET. Isn't giving out your first name, age, and gender enough? Absolutely no giving out addresses, first and last names or phone numbers unless you like to be stalked! Anybody, I repeat, anybody can see what you're giving out to the world wide web on this forum.
...and that's basically it.
I hope you enjoy your stay at the DragAdopt Forums!
