Hey TFW folks!
In response to some posts on other threads, I decided to do some intensive research regarding the DIS boards. After 2 nights without sleep, I have some interesting information (well, some of it is interesting, some....not so much!)
Here is a link that I found interesting both for newbies and others:
http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=439040
It links to other interesting links!
Also, FYI: this thread is located on the Just for Fun/ Community Board. That means of course, that we can write about whatever we want to! (other threads in this area include PMS, Orlando Bloom fan club, and Ugly Betty)
Our sister threads:
Meet the DISers is under Just for Fun/DIS meets which makes sense.
Croc Exchange is Just for Fun/Community Board which means that board can also discuss whatever but we tend to self-limit that thread to the croc exchange cause it would just get too confusing and Tracy's head might explode!
This is another link regarding guidelines that I found interesting (or not!)
http://www.wdwinfo.com/guidelines.htm
I did find this table on that link so I'll post it as several of us have questioned what "points" mean.

I have no clue what some of these things mean (bad links?, filter violation?, spam registration???) So somebody warn me if I do any of that!
(I'm certainly not trying to change anything here--just got curious myself, and wanted to clarify that we can indeed keep our favorite motto "There's nothing
here"
