32. Thou shalt not use avatar threads to shamelessly plug thine own overpowered Original Character.

33. Thou shalt not half-ass a generic response to the above poster's avatar just to get their own avatar post a response. Thy avatar games are a two-way street.

39. Thou shalt put an end to embedding Youtube videos in posts for song-based games, especially in ones that require a new song in every post. The added strain on web browsers having to load 20+ video players on a page is a bit unnecessary, don't you think?

Forgive me father for I have sinned... Repeatedly and egregiously, I might add.

That's a rather good point, indeed! I'll start using external links from now on in those cases. Thanks for the hint, pal![tup]


42.- I'll try to elaborate when possible and/or required, because there's no such thing as a self explanatory concept.
