So you've decided to post at the VFTW forum. And you've decided that your post should go in the AI1-9 category. We have some extra special rules for this forum since it's busy. Failure to listen to what's written here will result in a warning and/or banning. And if you decided to post without reading this... tough luck. You're still required to know all of these rules.


What are the general rules of this message board?

They're here. Read em, love em, learn em.



I want to start a thread. How do I know whether to post in a thread that already exists or to start a new one?

Usually, posting in a thread that already exists is a smart idea. In addition to the regular rules, the AI1-9 forum has a few extras. Each contestant is allowed to have ONE thread only for all discussion. There are a gigantic number of contestants, so this will keep things sane.


How do I get a custom subnic like the cool kids?

VFTW kindly accepts donations in exchange for a custom subnic. This place is expensive to run because it's so popular, so if you help us out with a little green, we'll reward you with your very own subnic that no one else can have. This is completely voluntary, but it does make you cool, and we do appreciate the help.


I want to make photochops. Where should I post them?

We have a photochop thread, feel free to post them there or in the thread that the photochop refers to (feel free to put pictures of Von's head on a donkey's body in the Von thread). The only photochops that deserve their own thread are masterpieces like TheKatieDidIt's "Trailer Park Tips from Kellie Pickler." And we'll let you know if your work has reached that level.


I want to share my website. Can I do that?

Only if it's American Idol or VFTW related and on topic with a discussion.

Good: Sharing a link to your site with pictures of Lee DeWyze in the Lee DeWyze thread. Once. Not twice.

Bad: Posting a new topic with your website. Then doing it again when it's locked. Then crying about it like a little baby when you get banned.


But on this other board, _____ is against the rules, so it should be here too!

No, it shouldn't. We don't care what the rules are on the other boards. If it's not against the rules here, live with it. Obviously you don't care about the other board either, because you're spending your time here, proving that we are of course the superior message board.


Why are you guys mean and not letting me chat off topic about stuff in the AI8 threads?

The General Chat forum is for off topic chatting. These threads are for Idol only. If your posts get way off track, we're just going to delete them. Learn to love it and get used to it.


But I OMG luv Casey James so much &; I want to TELL EVERYONE!!!!!1

Get the fuck out. This board is not the place for that. We mock the show and contestants here. You'll be better off if you just leave and head to a place like

The official American Idol cesspool

IdolForums Board for Frauen and Tweens


I want to know who used to be a VFTW pick and I want to see the banners you used to have up.

Master List of VFTW picks


I don't get some of the terms and abbreviations you guys use in your posts.

Check out the VFTW Vocabulary List.


Can you make a handy alphabetical index of the threads for the contestants so I have easy access?

Yes. Want to post news on your favorite Idol? Before you start a new thread, check and see if they already have a thread. It makes things much easier to find later if we keep news about former Idols in one thread about them ;)


Here's a list of whoever has their own thread, and we'll keep it updated. If you want to add to the list by starting a thread for a contestant that does not have one, reply here and post a link to it so we can add it to the list.

If they don't have a thread yet, chances are they belong in the Dipshits who don't deserve their own thread thread.


Other Important Threads That Have Already Been Started and Do Not Need Duplicates (Hint Hint)


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Three Things...From Deb:


1) When you find pictures on a potential Idol's myspace, it's best to right click and save the pic, rehost (on tinypic.com or your photobucket account) and then post it. Pictures tend to disappear.


2) To all new photochoppers, please watermark your work. TMZ and others tend to steal chops from VFTW and they never give credit. Granted, they can crop out your watermark, but it's best to have it there in case they don't.


3) Choppers, NEVER use the American Idol Logo in any of your chops. They sent us a 'cease and desist' letter last year about this and we won't be making the same mistake again this year.



Thank you for reading.

When does the individual episode thread get started for this evening? Is there one person at VFTW that starts them? I've lurked for years but this will be the first year I participate in the blow by blow.

In regards to the thread I started on "Former Idols and day jobs", sorry to piss you all off! Didn't mean to. I'll confess, I didn't read the rules yet. Mostly because I have participated in hundreds of message boards over the years (even moderated a few) and have never been any kind of a troll or caused any kinds of problems. I've also never been on a message board where it was against the rules for a newbie to start a new thread either. In fact, it's usually frownd upon NOT to start a new thread on a topic not currently being discussed...because that would mean going off topic in another thread. But your rules are your rules and I will respect them. Sorry.

As for the comment about worsters getting a kick out of the day job subject...I said that because I figured you would all probably LOVE to make fun of a former idol working the drive up window at McDonalds or saying "paper or plastic" at the local supermarket. But whatever. Again, sorry to cause trouble. Not a troll. No worries.

Carly's Constant Gardener Location: Digging up from Hell

to ryanlm and other new posters, I lurked for almost a year with a username before I posted anything just to get a feel for the board and people. And when I was ready to post I just started in small doses. Also I asked mods and creators a lot of questions before I posted something to see how it would go over on the boards. And then if I felt I was getting too annoying I would lay low a while, They are cliquey (sp?) here and you just have to ease yourself in and be nice and intelligent, and ask questions/read all the rules. That's my advice, that's how I started out.

Also watch out for Fallen Angel Gabriel, He's like the board bouncer, stay on his good side and you will be fine, make he angry and look out. :smile Love ya dave all all mods!

It's true, lurking before posting = a good idea.

The worst idea is for your first post to be fantarding in some thread. These idiots don't get that if they just post "I liked ___'s performance this week", no one would care. I posted that about Syesha last week. If you post "OMG I LOVE DAVID COOK AND HE IS SOOOOO HOT", we're going to hate you. It seems so simple, but apparently not so much. ;)

I am so thankful for the "no tarding" rules here. It's the main reason why this board is so much better than the AI forum at Sucks.

Seriously, I look in there occasionally and it's fucking INFESTED with Claymates and Barfuleta avatars. There's almost nothing of any value in there anymore.

Yeah honestly, I can't read AI Sucks anymore. Kind of sad since it used to be pretty funny.

Is anyone going to start a Dumb Question thread for AI8? It seems to be working out well in the CI forum and I think that the earlier it's started the more people will be accustomed to seeing/using it. ;)

Zelda, since the season hasn't started airing yet we still need to wait and find out who makes it. I'm already gonna take a wild guess and say it'll be mostly plants.
