So, to the main point of the post-
How to succeed (socially) at Boolprop
Chances are, after posting in a thread you will see the many colorful signatures ("siggys") of the other members. Chances are they are either advertising their legacy and/or other sims challenge, showing what they like, or an inside joke. If it is the latter, you will most likely have no idea what the siggy means at all, and nobody likes being out of the loop, right? Why not be in the loop? Here are some things you can do to be noticed/get friends/have inside jokes to put in your siggy!
1. Post, post, post!
This one is kind of obvious, but if you don't post, nobody will know you're there! Come'on you shy lurkers! It's ok to post, but don't get out of hand and start pressing "submit" when you've got barely anything.
2. Get Involved!
Join some Contests! Play some forum games avidly! Roleplay! These are only some of the many things you can do to get involved an meet people!
3. Chatbox!
The Chatbox is a great way to meet new people, and it's a breeding ground for inside jokes. (Take it from me!) It may seem intimidating at first because of it's speed, but once you get the hang of it - it's really really fun!!
3. Be Tolerant.
There are many kinds of people here at Boolprop, and everybody has different views. Be courteous to your fellow Boolpropian, no matter what race, sexual preference, or religion they are. Boolprop is pro-tolerance.
4. Be courteous to the staff
They work hard to make you happy, plus if you don't the mods may hunt you with their mod-sticks!
5. Start a Legacy!
It will really help you connect with the jokes, general talk, and frustrations of the community. And if you don't want to start one, read a few & get back to the authors. Talk to other fans about your favorite parts & soon you'll of conquered the world of Legacy-(Thanks Sophie
)6. Picture Thread!
It is also a great way to meet people and go fishing for compliments.
It gives something extra for people to be able to see who they're talking to, also. But make sure you get permission from an adult first!Do not open this spoiler if you don't like bluntness
[spoiler]-Limit perversion. It gets on people's nerves and sometimes creeps them out.
- Don't advertise your legacy/ask people to download your content/ask for simselves or ask people to download your simselves in most discussion topics or in the chatbox because, frankly, it's annoying, and people will usually just ignore you. Although, you CAN talk about your legacy as much as you want.
-Remember that even though they're on the internet, people still have feelings. Try not to playfully degrade people too much. Even I get in trouble with this at times.[/spoiler]
Anyway, if you follow these, you'll have forum friends in no time!
