Welcome,

Most of you likely have a nice old pm sitting in your inbox saying "Welcome to NSFCD" along with some other sweet things. This guide is just that, but, jam packed with information.

First of all, you'll need to check out the Bulletin Board for news from the staff, among other things.

A few threads you should accompany yourself with are the Chat Rules,Forum Rules,and the Staff Guide.

Let's discuss the staff, while we are on the subject. There are four ranks; Lead Crew (local), Navigator (Global), First Mate (Advanced), and Captain (Administrator).

The Lead Crew only moderate certain boards, the following users are members of the Lead Crew:

Lead Crew:
JMV290: (Serious Discussion)
MackorMoses: (Introductions, Super Smash Brothers, Chat)
Orgizirtee: (Power On RP)

Asides from these users, all other staff members can moderate every board, however, the staff above tend to be your best bets for their respective boards. If in doubt, refer back to the Staff Guide. Above list from PsychoYoshi.

Now, the admins control the forum, screen name changes, ban appeals, things like that should go through them, as they are the ones running this grand old show.

Let's move away from staff now, and mosey on into the boards.

Most boards follow the Forum Rules, pointed out above, however, on top of those general rules, each board tends to have a unique set of rules. We'll highlight some of the boards, starting with this board.

Sign IN/OUT Board:This board is for coming and going, its' rules are found in this thread.

Help Board: The place to go when in need of assistance.

Comments/Concerns/Suggestions: This board is for proposing ideas to the rest of the community. Members of the Site Improvement Team, as well as staff, scour over each topic made.

Power On: The General Discussion Board. Posts that don't belong elsewhere go here.

Serious Discussion: A board for discussing serious manners. Posts are highly sensitive, and this board is very strict. Failure to comply with its' unique rules earns you a virus rank, known as Bane of Serious Discussion.

So, there are some boards for you to know about. The other boards are for discussion as per their descriptions, and generally follow the forum rules. Note that spoiler rules (not giving sensitive info about games) may be in effect in the respective boards.

Now, boards down, on to other things to do.

Features:

Chat: The Live Chat. It has a slightly different staff, and rules. It runs on Chatspike Channel #nsider. For help, refer to the Official Guide

Downloads: A system that allows for sharing of files between users, this includes music. You may also request certain files.

Arcade: The arcade is the place to boast your mad flash game skills. A limited selection of titles are available, score keeps, and so forth.

NFES: Play the NES! Yes, it lives on here at NSFCD, just as an emulation. This is our pride and joy, kids. Discussion of it may take place in the appropriate board.

TO DO LIST:

Being that it is two in the morning, I'll finish this off tomorrow. Also, this will likely evolve, so, I'll be editing quite a bit.
