Forum Board Explanation

[XCI]

For newbies, I would like for you, and everyone else to have a breif tour of what these forums are and how they tie in to the TAO community. This breif summary is for you to know what thread to post your ideas in, post your topics in, and post your thoughts in on the appropriate forum instead of dumping it it somewhere unnecessary:

Announcements
Forum related staff announcements posted within.

The Announcement board is a place for moderators and administrators to tell forum users about up-coming events, new forum updates, and general game facts. Only moderators and Administrators can update information here. In other words, only Administrators can post new informations guarding the forums and game here because only they have the power to post a new topic in this forum.

On Topic
Here you can discuss about anything TAO related.

This forum is a place for you to indicate your ideas about Tactics Arena Online, both Legends and FPS. This forum could otherwise be known as "TAO General Discussion", because of it's likeness of a breif chat, conversation, or argument regarding the TAO community. Post your ideas here by joining the conversation or posting a new topic. (Remember: Use the search button first!)

Off Topic
Discuss general topics outside the Legends world here.

The off topic thread is hardly elaborated in the title, so this is why you should pay it great attention to read this first. Off Topic and General Discussion are NOT THE SAME THING. General Discussion is for posting general ideas, information, and fun things with other forum users. The Off Topic forum is valuable for information regarding media and things such as video games. If you are looking for a 'forum game', then you can find it in Off Topic. Add to the game, or make your own! This forum was my idea so I suggest you check it out, it usually has good stuff in it

Create-A-Unit
Post your own custom ideas for units and figures.

Create-A-Unit can be found on most TAO related boards, and it is meant for you to have fun in making your own imagionary unit to play the game with. Create-A-Unit forum origionates from the old forum and was usually disregarded by the larger TAO-Community, but its usually kind of fun so check it out.

Training Room
Discuss gameplay, tactics, unit management and formations.

This forum is a fun place to be if you are a noobie, or just need to brush up on tactics. This forum has everything you need in order to become a good TAO player. If you have any strategic problems, post a thread there, but remember to always use the search button first. This forum was also in the old forums and had a guy name QuicksandSlowly as a moderator there. He would field your questions through PM. Im sure the mods for the Training Room would be more than happy to help you out too, as they happen to be fine players.

Trophy Room
Winners of Tournaments, new tournaments, etc.

This is the Trophy Room. This forum had more relevence when TAO was a bit more popular because Seed and the clan of his named S.W.A.T. used to set up tournaments with a little blue guy named Merforga, AKA Smerf. This forum is relatively dead as to it's lack of interest and how it's hard to regulate a tournament without official standards. If you think you can win a tournament, strut your stuff and gain recognition there.

Battle Reports
Brag about your wins

This forum is a new addition to the old forums, and it's moderately popular because people always want to show that they are better than others. Are you good enough to post here? First week as a TAO member and beat a GOLD? Post your screen shot here and get recognized. Also check out some past screen shots and see how the pros play.

Clan Recruitment
Post here if your clan is recruiting or you want to join a clan.

This is a place for you to boast about your clan in it's designated thread. Doesn't have one? Make one for your clan and try to recruit others into it. Also, if you are a noobie and are interested in finding a place to get a clan, post here with your statistics and screen name and you might get invited! Good luck.

Clan Discussion
Plot, strategize and conquer!

Part of a clan? Post about it here. Most people have clans in TAO, so post your clan in here and chat with other clan members about clan issues, or see other clans with theirs. It's always a good read to browse this forum.

War Room
WAR WAR WAR WAR! Everybody loves a good old fashioned war between clans.

This place is meant for clan wars and clan negotiation. If you are a clan leader than you can send your clan to war by declaring it in public to another clan. If you are a newbie, prey to God your leader doesn't send you to war.

TAO Art
All you artist post your TAO pics here

This is where the Archives are held. Post your own work here or check out some other people's TAO artistic talent. This can also be unrelated to TAO, but mainly keep it on topic.

Banners/Custom Signatures
Need a banner or you make banners, this is for you.

This is a forum that is always been good. This forum has a hustle and bussle as people from the TAO community exchange their gold for signatures. Higher gold you give, the higher quality signature/avatar you can get. An artist that knows photoshop? Set up some of your work and a price. If it works with a buyer, you can make a nice buck here. Show off your new banners by posting elsewhere in the forums.

Suggestions/Bugs
Please post suggestions and feedback or bugs found for the site development team here.

This thread is for bugs (eww!) so if you see a glitch, post it and someone will surely fix the problem for you. You can also post game bugs here too if you wish, but specify that that is what the bug is. See a bug? Make a thread and clearly specify the problem and a part of the moderation team can relay the message and have it fixed if possible.


I hope this was helpful to you newbies, so read it carefully and post on-topic to what I said here. This is for you to understand what the forums are for, and I elaborated each one.
