Who's This Forum For?

This forum is for the typical user who's just switched to Linux. I don't mean that in a derogatory way. I just mean that:

* You're a Gamer
* You have Gamer related news
* You have a Game or other related Entertainment software package that isnt happy



Guidelines for Responding

Comments like 'STFU' or 'RTFM' or "Google it up" are NOT acceptable -- To quote my near and dear friend Jdong.

Be as descriptive as possible. It helps to have error outputs posted. Describe the problem as exactly as possible.

Try to keep Hardware stuff in Hardware. Glxgears and performance issues would be related to this, specially if your posting it in regards to a newely installed driver. This kind of organization will help us to get you the fastest possible result in a solution.

General Guidelines for Threads

Do not moderate each other -- Moderators are experienced professionals at handling these situations. Choice of wording and tone are crucial to effective moderation without leaving anyone hurt or discouraged. You can help with moderation by using the 'Report Post' button to alert moderators to the situation.

Try to keep on the same topic -- It gets very confusing to follow a thread with many simultaneous discussions. If you have a question that's not related to what the original author's, start a new thread. Link to the old one for reference if necessary.

Do not cross-post -- In other words, if you start a thread about a problem here, don't ask the same thing in another section to attempt to get a faster response. It doesn't work.

Quote when appropriate -- If you're responding to a specific post, please quote it before replying (use the Quote button). Mis-directed comments often spark trouble.

Maybe Free Gamer could be considered an important gaming link?

One more rule I'd also like mentioned: don't double post. It makes it harder to find actual information on the forum, and gives an overall bad impression about the poster. Especially if he's a moderator. To avoid doing it, don't click on 'post' another time when you think your connection malfunctions. It's very likely that information has been sent to the server, but the page just didn't have enough time to reload on your side. Only click again if your browser tells you it wasn't possible to connect - connection refused, timeout, or something like that. And if you do double post, edit and delete duplicated post.

I completely agree with that one! :)

Ok, I know what "STFU" stands for, and why not to use it...

but "RTFM" is escaping me, I dont think I've seen it before..

Anyway you can tell me what it means without being obscene?
