An area for technical questions about the forum/website?

[Vexan]

Hi everyone, I might be posting in the unappropriate section or something, but I'm kinda lost/ confused while browsing this forum.

I mean I know Dust Loop is huge and all, but I have a few questions that would help me understand this forum and community better.

1. WHO can I contact if I have any questions? Somebody who would please help me sometimes?

2. Can someone please link me to a page where I could learn the 'langage' for Blazblue and Guilty Gear? I saw a thread linking to one but it was a dead link, and for blazblue I see langage such as : 5A and such, and I can't find the info anywhere.

3. SORRY again if I'm like a total noob here posting on the forums, but all I need is some help really, I saw no introduction topic section but I saw in another topic that there was no section for it at all. lol

So yeah, basically, I would need to know who to contact if I have any questions,

How this forum/community works, and I'd also need information on how to understand the langage used for Guilty Gear and Blazblue.

Thanks for reading my post, and I hope I can get help, I really want to participate here!

1. Spirit Juice and shtkn fill this role, but we're all pretty helpful here. if you have a question just drop someone who seems friendly a visitor message and they should give you a decent response.

3.we don't really do introduction threads, just post up on the forums and people will know you eventually.

1) it's unfortunately not so clear, but at the top of the forum page, there is a bar with a few drop-down menus. If you open Quick Links and go to View Site Leaders, you'll see a list of all of the moderators on the site.

Alternatively, you can see the moderator(s) of a particular forum by looking under the name of the forum on the forum "top"/general page (that shows the big list of all sections and subforums, etc.). This is more obvious in one sense, but doesn't indicate who are the supermods and admin.

But like Cake said, ask someone who looks friendly and you're bound to get a helpful response.

2) On the forum top page, there is a subforum called Beginner Mode, and its description reads:

Beginner Mode

A place for simple questions and things. Be sure to read the stickied threads first! Character specific questions should go in their respective subforums!

One of the stickied threads is "Terminology on Dustloop Defined". There's also a thread that explains fighting game terms that are borrowed from Japanese.

3) The forum is, in principle, more information-centred, rather than (social) interaction-centred, like other (game) forums, so self-introduction topics tend to be "beside the point" as far as the forum is concerned. However, if you're interested in meeting and discussing GG, BB, and other games with people in your part of the world, take a look in the Matchfinder section for a thread with people who live in your (general) region and post up.

[speaking of which, we could always use more GG players in Canada. if you live near the West coast you should post up in the West coast thread in Matchfinder!]
