Helpful Hints for Those Just Starting Out Here:
1: I cannot stress this enough, seeing as my pet peeves are spelling and grammar. Try to refrain from using chatspeak. I'm not saying this as a rule, but as a suggestion. Yes, I know chatspeak and '1337' are really popular on the internet but it's very hard to read and sometimes the point of your post gets lost
2: And by conversation, just don't jump in and say 'hi', actually say something about the actor:
example: say I had a thread about Corey Haim, nowadays, he's a pretty obscure actor.
You could say: 'hey, I know who you're talking about, I liked him in [instert movie he's been in]'
and the conversation could go from there
3: Don't bump. This forum moves relatively slow so bumping won't be needed. If the owner of the thread cares about it enough, they will bump it themselves if it gets too low
4: Be openminded. Just because someone has a different opinion than you, don't jump all over them. They are completely entitled to their opinion, just as you are
5: This is another one I can't stress enough: please please please, check the first three or four pages of the forum before you make a thread so you'll know if there is an active one already
6: Don't start a versus thread: Isaviel's 'This or That' thread should help [

7: Same goes with a 'Hot or Not' thread, Isaviel also made a 'Celebrity Hot or Not' thread

8: Don't spam. By this, I mean, don't go into a thread going 'I'm just here for the gold' or something to that extent...use the chatterbox
9: Please refrain from making any 'Post who you think is hot' threads. There is now a well put together OFFICIAL one. [

Most of this was stated by Blaky but I'm just adding in some.
More Tips:
1: Learn to spell celebrities' names. Please, it saves a lot time.
2: Learn to spell 'celebrity' for that matter.
