Greetings!
On behalf of the membership and staff of TotalWar.Org, welcome to "theOrg" forums. The Org has been active since mid-1999, as a place where PC game enthusiasts gathered to discuss the then-not-yet-released Shogun:TotalWar game; we compared notes, investigated rumors, shared screenshots, and got to know each other in a genial, friendly way.
Since then, our content and membership, and the TotalWar series, have all grown. We have maintained our focus on TotalWar games and the RealTimeStrategy genre generally, while also promoting the same genial, friendly way of interacting with each other that we began with. We're happy that you have joined us in those pursuits.
You will find answers to most any question you have by clicking the FAQ link located near the top of every page of the forum. There are a few items peculiar to theOrg forums, not included in the FAQ, that you should know:
1) Avatar selection: see here: http://www.totalwar.org/Downloads/U...s/picupload.php
plus, user CP (control Panel) "Edit Avatar"
2) Signature size & appropriateness:
(under review)
3) Language: We have members from over 20 countries, speaking dozens of languages; in the interest of clarity, we use English as the default forum language. We allow no swearing. Moderators will either edit or delete offensive content.
4) Access & Membership Levels: We have 3 membership levels, Junior
Member, Member, and Senior Member. New registerees become a Junior
Member after they have verified their email address at
registration; they have access to all game-related forums.
Members get an 'edit' button, a larger Private Message (PM)
mailbox, and access to non-game-related forums. Senior Members
get an even larger PM mailbox. Forum users advance through the membership levels
after staff consultation and assessment of the user's contributions.
Factors assessed by staff include: quality of posts, quantity of posts,
evidence of continued interest, civility, and length of time
registered.
5) "Searching": {in-house disabled=crashes/use Google}
6) Downloads: {click "Files}
7) Staff: Org staff consists of Administrators, Moderators, and
Assistant Moderators. All are unpaid volunteers, and all are eager to
help any member with any problem. Moderator and Assistant Moderator
"powers" are forum-specific, so a problem in the Guides forum would be
best handled by one of the Guides forum Moderators, for example.
Once again, welcome aboard, we hope you find your time here as fruitful and enjoyable as we do.
