Frequently Asked Questions
Occasionally Asked Questions
and Questions You Should Ask If You Wern't A Wiener
Who Can Post On Shamu Croaks Forum?
Anyone... Well almost anyone. Anyone is welcome to come to Shamu Croaks as long as they are hear to chat in a decent manner. Flamers (ouside the Fight Zone) are not permitted.
Should I register My User Name?
YES! You must register before posting to any of the boards on Shamu Croaks EXCEPT for the General Board.
Registering ensures that noone can use your alias and post as you (unless they find your password).
Some Users Have Elite By Their User Names- What is an "Elite" user?
The "Elite" users have access to a special section on Shamu Croaks. In order to become Elite a current Elite member must nominate you in the Elite section. A Poll lasting one week will then begin. If at least 3 people vote "FOR" you becoming elite- AND you recieve more "FOR" than "AGAINST" votes you will become "Elite". Don't expect to be immediately elected Elite. It will take time for the users to get to know you and determine if you are worthy of becoming elite. Most members eventually become Elite- but it can take time.
Why is your spelling so bad?
If I knew I'd fix it.
What are "Minnows", "Big Fish", "Sharks", "Whales" and "Shamu Incarnates"
This is just a bit of sillyness. The above titles indicate how many posts you have made to Shamu Croaks.
0-30 And you are a Minnow
31-100 equals BigFish
100-250 are the Sharks
250-500 are Whales
500+ and you become Shamu Incarnate.
How Do I join the "Fight Zone"?
You must be invited by a member- The Fight Zone is password protected- once you enter the password you will not be asked for a password again.
What is the Password to the "Fight Zone"?
Well- if you think I'll tell you the answer- send me an "Instant Message" and I'll respond. If you're an Elite- check the thread in the "Veterans Board" it answers that question there.
What is the "Fight Zone"?
It is an area to let out frustrations. Users use this section to playfully FLAME each other.
What is The Weakest Link
This is a polling game- Each Week a new topic is added and each user is allowed to vote which item from that topic should be "Voted Off". At the end of the week the item with the most votes is removed and the poll reset... this is done until only one item is left in the topic- and that is crowned the official Shamu Croaks Item of that topic. For full rules see the sticky thread in that area.
What is the "Meaning Of Life"?
Many things to many people... but here on Shamu it is a forum that is used to discuss philosophy, social interactions, and the Meaning Of Life!
BTW- I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK
I need help!
You sure do!
Ask me for help- or look at the top of this web page- there should be a menu-item called "Help" (next to a blue circular icon)... many basic questions are addressed there.
... MORE FAQs AND OAQs will be posted in time...
For the meantime... Ask any questions here... and they will be addressed...
