Hence the forum rules stating the following:
Substance. Content is king. Threads lacking content can and will be locked. Some tips to keep you and your posts out of trouble:
- Do not post just a link. Links have context - expound upon that context. For example, Mario Piano Videos. Post a link, but also give some background on what the link is to, or better yet, comment on how Mario has influenced pop culture. This way, it's not just a link and run. Remember: the reader's interest is not only in the link, its in what you have to say about it, how you make sense of what would otherwise be a blind link (and a subsequently poor thread). The only exception to this rule is for game patches - bearing in mind rule 3, go ahead and get that link posted as fast as possible.
Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.
