13[MMC]d: The former Martiangod and EvilAngel are to be revered as the true gods that they are and placed higher on the evolutionary chain then Noevo, Fishnet and Ameba, but not to surpass the monkey/ape, who we all know is the real forefather of most if not all Speedguide members

15A: Make fun of this person and point it out to him at every opportunity. he enjoys it.
15B: The word "fishnet" must from here on always be used when addressing this person.

16B: At least one other person agrees with you.
17) Avatars. Use them and abuse them. They are your right! Put whatever you choose there regardless of other peoples feelings.
17A: Newbies are exempt from this rule. They have no right to anything here. EVAR!
17B: Scantily clad women are especially good for annoying some people, but an anti-anything (especially religious) avatar will get you more attention.
17C: "The Fanta Clause" which means whoever's avatar has the jiggliest boobs gets teh power up and wins teh game!
18) The HalfLifer Syndrom: This simply states that you have the right to be a jerk and not realize it.

18B: When wee96 shows up make fun of him too. Big Dog, Little Dog rule.

26) You must always talk about Speedguide, even when meeting people in the "real world".
27) Do not argue the merits of AMD with Macho. He is a sphincter sucking prostitute for whatever brand he owns at the moment.
27A: Only when Mach buys an AMD system in the year 2024 when AMD finally gets the heat issue taken care of will rule 27 be amended.
27B: Nvidia was better than ATI from 2000-2001 when he owned a Geforce. ATI is better from 2001-2002 now that he owns a Radeon.
27C: "The Bala Amendment" Do not try to convince Mach that there is a more stable motherboard than the one he himself owns. Especially when your experience with said board is only 2 days in duration.

34) LinuxDawg Syndrome, sometimes referred to as ColdFusion Girlfriend Claus (CFG). Simply
stated; If you post a picture of your "girlfriend" on the forums, ask yourself the following
first; 1) Is she a real person? 2) Is she really my girlfriend 3) if answered no to 1 or 2,
are there other pictures of "her" available on the web? If you you answered no, no, yes.
be prepared for the following.
34A: Members are allowed to doubt that she is your girlfriend until you provide proof.
The burden of proof is on you, the poster, not us.
34B: Newbs are also allowed to second guess and ridicule you.
34C: Excuses like "my camera is broke" WILL NOT buy you more time.
34D: After you admit that she really isn't your girlfriend, you are not allowed to make
fun of other people for making things up for two years.

at will, with no restrictions. we give up 35B: the use of
is taboo. use with extreme caution.35C: If you post a new smiley that people like, prepare for it to be used ALL THE TIME for at least one day. Usage will subside and things will return to normal, unless it is an exceptional smiley
36) w00t. Its a fricking word. Deal with it.
36C: had to put a rule here just so I could have a 36C rule
37) In response to Bedtime, I'm Leaving, Do You Like Me? threads; Post at your own risk. These type of threads are prime targets for threadjacking. And you have no recourse. Best to avoid posting these threads if at all possible.
38) ThreadJacking. Dangerous area, best left to "expert" members. This rule is very similar to Rule 11. It all depends on who the "jacker" is. Depending on who this is determines how the threadjack will be received.
38A: DO NOT threadjack a serious heartfelt thread. Unless the thread starter is the one who starts the threadjack
38B: Rule 37 viloators are subject to any and all threadjacks. no questions
38C: Pictures and LARGE amounts of text are acceptable forms of threadjacking.
38D: Post fast, and post often. A mod or admin is sure to find a hot threadjacking in progress and close down operations.
38DD: see Rule 36C.
39) If you have a sister, or you yourself are a girl/woman YOU MUST post pictures for all to see. Same if you are mother and have a cute daughter. This is especially true if either Rule 36C or 38DD exist.
All rules subject to change without prior written notice, or any other type of notice. These are the rules, you must comply or face the consequences. Unless other wise noted, the punishment for breaking these rules is decided and handed out by MadDoctor.

Enjoy your stay. Remember, these are your forums. Do what you want. But follow the rules at all times.
