This is the only forum ive ever used. I dont know what im reading most of the time. I figured out DEAT, but I dont understad the following:

troll
flame
BTW
BUMP
snip

if someone could explain these i'd appreciate it. Also, if theres anything else that would be useful. THANX

flaming is being mean to someone (or something like that i think)
btw is by the way
bump is something you do when your thread has moved down a few pages and no one is bothering to read it so you bump it and it moves back to page 1
as for troll and snip, i'm afraid i have no idea

I don't know about snip but I think trolling is when you are screwing up a thread not by spamming but by fighting with someone.

Troll = someone looking for a fight by posting offensive material.
Snip = cutting part of a quote to make the post shorter.

BUMP is a universal word...its found on every forum on the internet.
It is used to bump the thread up to the most recent topics list.

Im new to forums can somebody help me?

Alas, those who enter this forum are beyond redemption :cry:

when a nation is DEATed, they've been naughty in the forums and so the mods have got rid of them (i think)

Yeah, buried in some mods' backyard probably :cry:
