Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the first thing that I should know about this hobby?
A: You should know how to stay safe, how to play the game and how not to get caught. I'd put a lot of information here if I thought I could improve upon what is already available, but I can't. Start at Big Doggie's Client Guide (I'll add more links later)

Q: What is the best overall Review Board on the internet?
A: While there are many Review Boards on the internet, my personal favorite is Big Doggie. Additional sites you may want to check out would be YMMV and ASPD.

Q: What is NewB's favorite Chat Board on the internet?
A: While there are many Chat Boards on the internet, my personal favorite is Big Doggie.You can use the built-in Java client licensed from ChatSpace, the link to ChatSpace goes to the Manual and can give you tips and tricks to better use the software. It is very easy to use, but is still based on Java (has problems sometimes).

Q: Okay, I used ChatSpace, but I disconnect sometimes without warning?
A: While ChatSpace is an excellent product, it is still based on Java. You can bypass ChatSpace and use an IRC client instead. If you are using a PC, then MIRC is the solution for you, if you are using a Macintosh, then use IRCLE. Although IRC clients are no where as easy to use as ChatSpace, they are MUCH more stable and provide faster connections and faster responses. Read the bottom of Big Doggie's Chat page to learn how to configure your IRC client to connect to Big Doggie using IRC.

Q: What the heck do all those abbreviations mean in posts and chat areas?
A: There are quite a few abbreviations to make typing easier and faster for those who chat and post often. There is also a great deal of "Specialized" language found involved as well. Click HERE to view a list of abbreviations and "Specialized" terms and their meanings.

Q: How do I use the Search function on the TBD Boards?
A: TBD is in the process of improving the SEARCH function by using a database back-end for paid subscribers. Free members have access to the traditional Search function. Once again, someone else has written a GREAT process for how to best use it. Thanks go out to Gypsy Boy who explains all on the Chicago Board. Click HERE to see how to use the Search function.

Q: Where the heck is the answer to my questiont?
A: If it is not listed here, then send me your question, I will add it to the FAQ's listed here.
