Forum Guide / FAQAlternative Paranormal TalkThere is a new sub forum centered around discussion of paranormal topics not directly related to ghosts. It is hidden and only accessible to registered members. This separate section was mainly created as a place for the threads we've had in the past that deal with Satan worship. I was told that some potential forum members were very put off by this kind of discussion and decided not to join because of it. I think that moving these messages to a sub board is the only solution, other than removing them completely. We are open to all paranormal topics on this forum, but we must also be careful of the image we portray to new visitors.

Q. What are the forum rules?
A. There aren't any specific rules to follow when posting. I think that our members are mature enough to handle themselves, and so far this has proven to be correct. Cursing is allowed, but try to keep things civil.
Q. How do I show images in a forum posting?
A. Place the URL of the image between two image tags as shown:
[img]http://www.mypictures.com/mypic.jpg[/img]
Q. How do I create a link to another page in my post?
A. Use URL tags to make a clickable link:
[url=http://www.mylink.com/mypage.htm]My Link[/url]
There are other tags available to change the style of your text and much more. See this complete guide to UBB codes:

Q. I made a mistake in my post, is there a way to change it?
A. All registered users can modify posts that they have made by using the modify button in the header of a particular post, only guests are restricted from editing their own comments.
Q. I have an idea for something I would like to see on the site, what's the best way to get in touch with you?
A. E-mailing me direct is preferred over making a post on the forum or using the private messaging system.
