What is the Shout Box for?
The Shout Box is simply another method for communication on the forums. You can use it as a messenger. If you started or replied a topic, and you feel it is important for others to read. You can inform other members.


• E.G. (Example)
  Lets say your a spriter and you just posted your latest sprite. As a spriter you want others to comment on your work and provide you with constuctive critizism. Well, you can inform others about it in the Shout Box.


Of course, you can also use the Shout Box to simply chat about random stuff with other members. These rules are to avoid chaos in the forums. Some people find SPAM VERY annoying and they just can't handel it.



Staff


• Please do not ask to become staff, if we choose a new staff it's because that person has followed all the rules, and is known trustworthy. It would also help if you have contributed anything to Twilight Kingdom. ;)
