Dont be a dick and Please play nice
This is a social forum, it can contain fun topics and serious topics.
Just remember the atmosphere is to be chilled out and relaxed.
Don't like something? Report it to a mod.
Not interested in something? Don't read it. Let others have their fun.

What Goes Here?

This is a social forum. Things are more laid back here and topics can be numerous. Feel free to start a thread you feel the users might be interested in. If in doubt, pm a mod

The forum is first and foremost for insomniacs and those that work outside regular hours or simply just prefer to be up late at night.

Feel free to discuss topics relating to late night existance, lack of sleep, shift working, late night entertainment, or simply beat the night time lonliness chatting in the lair.

Those who like the spooky. Horror/ Dark Fantasy is a heavy theme here.
Those who enjoy the dark side of culture be it music, film etc. Feel free to start threads related to the culture of the night.

Those who enjoy counter /subcultures, gothic/alt/emo/nerd/roleplaying all have a big following here. Feel free to discuss issues relating to these sub cultures.

If there's an old thread that you want to comment on feel free to post on it.

If you want to start a thread and there is an old copy of it, feel free to make a new version.

Personal Abuse:
Even though this is already covered in the Boards Faq/Site wide rules, it is important to note that this is a Social Forum, and intended to be a fun and friendly place. ANY and we mean ANY shenanigans that can be seen as abuse,trolling,making others feel uncomfortable or annoying the regulars will be punished by the mods any way they see fit.
Bringing fights from other parts of the site here is NOT TOLERATED. Making fun of the users or the forum itself is not tolerated.
If you do not understand how to post here, please Lurk (read before posting) and observe how the regulars act,conduct themselves and post on the forum.
Again, abuse is not tolerated, and any action taken will be at the mods discretion.

Off Topic:
Posts that stray off topic will be edited/deleted, depending on their relevance to the topic at hand. There is a chatter thread for a reason.
This will be reviewed by the Mods on a case by case basis. We feel fairly lenient since this is a social forum, but please try and stay on topic.

Posting in "TxtSpk":
Please don't do this.
(TxtSpk is basically TLKIN LIK DIS AS IF U R RITIN A TXTMSG. Translation, Talking like that as if you are writing a text message.)

Spoilers:
Spoiling a film, tv series, sports result may result in an infraction or a ban. If you must talk about something, user the

tags to surround it.

No Serious Business
This is a fun forum, but can also cover serious issues. If theres a serious topic, make a new thread, don't derail a fun thread, and do not start any E-Drama.
(to be clear, this doesnt mean serious conversations are not allowed.
we are not trying to stop serious chat, just serious chat in fun threads. making a new serious thread is cool.)
