Spore Related Help:

This section is not yet made, but it will be saved for a later date.

Drew, sorry if you didn't want anyone posting yet (you can delete this post if required), but the Sporum Master help thread is extremely good for the Spore and Sorum issues.

I know, I was thinking of pulling some things over here from that. And this thread is open for posting.

I think that the section intro threads should be stickied, so that they don't end up at the bottom of the list for each section. That's all I have to add.

I agree Gelo, but I cannot sticky them. I wish the admins would give us that right. It would make everything more organized.

Feel free to suggest something for the FAQ section. That area needs some more from you guys.

Awesome modship Drew

We really needed a Master Help Thread! Keep the juices running!

<3 you Drew

Added New Roleplay Intro and Your Artwork.

I guess the right choice was made making you mod drew... way to show us up but really, these tips and welcome sections are great, they should be stickies

I will be adding the other sections soon as they are made. Then this will also be a master directory to the best threads, intro threads and a few other significant threads.

I will be skipping some sections. Ones that may be subject to deletion or just don't need them.

Please get rid of the irrelevant FAQs, also there's a spelling mistake; "Fourm FAQ"
