XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
                   Thank you for accessing The Geek Forums!
In order for us to provide quick service, please try these common solutions before asking a question!

1) Try Google. It is possibly the easiest way to get an answer, and usually in more detail then you will find asking us here. http://www.google.com

2) Try restarting your computer. Sometimes, that is all you need.

        If the above solutions do not work, please do the following.

1) Introduce yourself in the "New Geeks on the Block" area. Include things like your hobbies, why you joined the site, and other interesting tidbits.

2) Contribute to the forum. You aren't allowed to ask tech questions unless you contribute X quality posts. X is a number determined by the moderators. If they decide you are nice enough to get away with 0 contributions, congrats! What is more likely, however, is a number greater than 10.

3) Plan to stick around for a while. No drive-by questioning!

4) Post using English. Or, if you don't speak English, realize that people may not understand what you are saying.

5) 1337 and AOL speak do not count as a language unless you are using it to make a humorous point.
