Hello folks. The announcement is just the basic description of the forum. It would be appreciated if you would take a little bit of your time to read it.

First of all, the navigation bar at the very top of the forum are shortcuts that you can take to get to major parts of the forum, such as the forum raffle and calendar. Make sure you check the calendar every day. You can see daily events right above the chat box and below the birthday section towards the bottom of the home page.

Here are the ways you can earn points(more ways to earn points will progressively increase as the site ages):

1) Being a good and helpful member can earn you points, but you can also lose points by doing the opposite
2) Mynk trio: located in the mynk category.
3) Forum Raffle: A great way to earn points every couple of weeks.
4) Forum Tasks: Tasks that are give periodically that have an expiration date( again, the calendar will tell you when one is updated, for some reason i cannot make future announcements on the calendar unless i put them on the forum where everyone can see them, so the calendar will only show events that day.)
5) Comedian of the week: 10 points
6) Debator of the week: 10 points

Points are only a contributing factor for the top ten members.

On the forum, every category will have either a star, a circle with a star, or an X next to it on the left. The star represents no new posts, the circle and star represent a new post, and an X represents a locked forum or category.

I also do not want members bothering me with job requests, such as artist or mod requests. These requests should be placed in the job applications section of the forum. Requests not in this section will be ignored.

If you don't understand some of the activities and competitions displayed on the forum, there is always a thread to help you under stand them. Most of these links can be quickly accessed at the top of the page in the navigation bar that include the mynk trio, forum raffle and forum tasks.

Also, if you do not play mynk or ninja kiwi, there are a lot of other things you can do on the forums. If you wish, you can suggest a new forum activity or competition in the feedback section under the category "Forum".

That about sums up most of the basics, but not all of them. If you have any further questions about the forum, please ask them in the Q/A section of the category "Forum". Thank you.
