Has anyone noticed this. One of the threads is 'Announcements and Teh Rules'.

Are there any plans to fix it?

Are you spamming or are you seriously asking. If you're spamming, please don't.

If you're asking seriously, I recommend you click on that link and read Teh Rules. One of the first things there is Tempest explaining why he named it Teh Rules as opposed to 'The' Rules.

As for "Teh", it's a joke regarding a spelling mistake that I frequently make. I'm not the first person to post "Teh Rules", I claim no originality in naming them as such, it has been done before.


I think it is just a fun way of introducing the rules, and of course it also lists the rules of this forum, which everybody should read once at least.

Gezz, and I though Antartica was a cold place. Sadly, I did not read the thread but I was acting on my first impulse.

It's only fair to point out such errors and I don't see why I should be run over the coals for not reading the thread. First impressions last after all and having typos scream "Lazy" and "Sloppy".

Sorry, I mean't no disrespect...

But, ANN is tough to get used to at first but as time moves on, some fans attitudes, which you may or may have not already experienced around here before, only benefits you in the future. Trust me, It's something I have learned in my 5 month stay!

Good luck! Very Happy

Hi Miyazaki,

As has been already pointed out, the "Teh Rules" title is a joke. There are no plans to change it.

As for it being "cold" here. I do apologize for the attitude of some forum members. The Internet unfortunately is a cold place sometimes. We actually have rules here about being polite and all that. Gage didn't do enough to warrant any action, but if you find anyone excessively cold, be assured that they will be dealt with.

Yes, tempest, I'm aware how dangerous the Internet is. I was only doing what I believed right and did what anyone other respectable user would do.

When I saw the spelling, I acted on first instincts and found out afterwards that it was a joke.

I didn't expect anything to happen to Gage but I was taken back when I got accused of spamming. That is, after all, a very harsh comment to make to anyone.

All the same, best of luck with the site.
