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.

Would Smartie taunt me if I started the Sheldon thread?
