I found this on the BabyCenter board and thought it would apply here!!!
1. The first rule of spinoff boards is don't talk about spin off boards.
2. RAOK means Random Act of Kindness.
3. ROAK means nothing.
4. If you repeatedly misspell words we may laugh at you.
5. If you come here and ask where all the bargains are, we WILL laugh at you.
6. We don't want to see pictures of your stretch marks.
7. We do want to see pictures of your new haircut, and possibly your messy living room.
8. Yes, you're probably pregnant. Or maybe you're not, we don't care. Just take a freakin' test already and let us know when you figure it out.
9. Please refrain from taking a potty break until the drama comes to a complete stop.
10. If you miss a drama post, don't bother complaining. You should have just abandonded your housework, children and intestinal needs like the rest of us. Next time you'll learn.
11. If you're a working mother, you should be ashamed of yourself.
12. If you're a stay at home mother, you should be ashamed of yourself.
13. If you start a thread asking people's opinions about SAHM's vs. working moms, you should duck and cover and possibly consider joining a poster protection program.
14. The lol cats have no secret meaning. They're just cute and make us giggle.
15. Magic cream is a hair remover. We use it on our nether regions. Yes, we realize that it's for black men. No, we're not black men.
16. If you wonder if your siggy is to big, it probably is.
17. If you're coming to the board under a fake name to post mean things about people like a 12 year old, we realize that you think you're enormously cleaver. You're not, the rest of of think you're a moron. Move along now.
18. Don't ask us who the Hoffs and Ranters are. We don't get it either.
19. Please feel free to tell us all about your fake mansion, exploding Hummers or pretend brain surgeon fiances. Sometimes we get bored and need the amusement we get from uncovering your lies.
20. Please feel free to post a bargain every now and then. We like to pretend that's what we're here for.
21. We're not doctors and can't properly diagnose your child, even if you provide the gruesome photos. We will however, attempt to diagnose him anyway. Do yourself a favor and call the doctor.
22. If you come here with a really juicy story and 200 people hang on your every word for two weeks and the thread has 600 posts, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, PLEASE UPDATE US!! Our fragile minds can't take the unresolved chiffhangers.
23. Paint your living room/kitchen/bathroom/laundry room in Caraway. The rest of us did.
24. One word. Ramon. We're really sorry you missed that thread. That's what you get for not being here two years ago.
25. If you notice that a really boring looking thread suddenly has a hundred posts on it, read it QUICK, it's probably juicy and will probably be gone within the hour.
26. Don't ask for advice about anything unless you're prepared to hear honest answers. And when you get honest answers, don't tell us all how mean we are.
27. If you value your life at all, please do not post TV show spoilers in your title or first post. Obsessed TV fans from around the country will descend on your town like rabid dogs and hunt you down. (Well, they would if they weren't so busy watching TV and surfing the internet. Most likely they'll just yell at you until you cry and have to find a new board to post on.)
28. The ignore button is your friend. The people you use it on are not.
29. Before you come to the board to tell us that you just read on TMZ that Britney is back in rehab, having her 14th child or shaving her head again, please check out the first three pages or so of recent posts. Chances are someone already beat you to it.
30. Snarkiness is an artform. Embrace it.
