I've never entered a chat room ever in my life! I want to talk about UFO Baby as I am crazy about it! Is anybody there?

Welcome to the Internet, where it's noon on your side of the world , while our side has night. There's not alot of people, if any at all, that well be awake. Try in the your morning time.

This is not a chat room. This is a discussion board (also known as a message board or a forum). There's a difference. Chat rooms are where you talk to one or more people in real time, where you don't have to worry about grammar or spelling since they probably know what you're saying. Message boards, however, require correct spelling and grammar, as well as discussion-worthy topics. Here, I'll give you some examples:
BAD POST hey guys its me i like anime lol just like you hey does anybody watch full metal alkmiyst i do its cool ed is hot lol if you like it message me YAAAYYYY GOOD POST Hey, guys, I'm sure you're all into anime, since you're here in this forum. My favorite anime is Fullmetal Alchemist. It's a really cool show with an original story. Ed is an awesome character because he gets very emotional at times, and I think that's very realistic. If you too like Fullmetal Alchemist, let's discuss it here. ----- See the difference? The first one is full of 1337 (leet) speak (the "lol" stuff) and horrible grammar (bad spelling and no punctuation). Also, the topic is terrible. First the guy introduces himself when no one cares who he is and then he rambles about how "cool" and "hot" FMA and Ed are. You can't even tell if he wants to talk about the show or if he was just leaving some random crap. You don't have to be an English major (don't worry so much about grammar and spelling as long as it's not too bad), but don't do like the first example. And if you want to talk about this UFO Baby thing, make a topic about it, don't put this stuff about "I've never been in a chatroom come on let's talk!" (or go It only makes it look like spam (nonsense), kind of like the first example. EDIT: Hey, whaddya know, a UFO Baby topic: animenewsnetwork.com/bbs/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=15909 |
