Dear newcomers to the HoV.
I would like to take the time to tell you about a place known as The Halls of Valhalla.

The Halls of Valhalla is the community forum used to post anything that doesn't belong in the other sections of AoMH.
Simple enough, right?

WRONG.


What is the LPW?
The LPW stands for Last Post Wins. It is a traditional game started way back at the beginning of AoMH, this thread is used for posting content which typically does not deserve its own thread. If you have some random youtube video that doesn't warrant discussion, or crap you want to post, do it here.
At the same time as being a container for crap, it also serves as a game. The last poster, or in this case since the post cap limit was raised, the poster who gets post 2500, wins, and may then create the new LPW. Please make sure you know your Roman Numerals.


Please read the following guidelines about how to post in the HoV:

1. Put some effort into your posting. "Is my post or reply significantly interesting, humorous, or contributing to the discussion at hand?" If you cannot answer "Yes" to this, do not post it.

If you are going to post a thread in HoV, you are going to need to explain why you think it's an interesting & original topic. This can be done literally, or through the thread content itself. If you can't spend some time doing this, please don't post the thread.

You need to put effort into your replies as well. Don't regurgitate stupid catchphrases or memes, no matter how you rephrase them.

2. Stop typing like a retard: proper punctuation, spelling and grammar are a requirement for every post in HoV.


3. Don't try to tear down someone else's posting. Threadshitting makes up the worst posting on the forums - it doesn't contribute anything at all to the discussion at hand, and sabotages an opportunity for posters to make a bad thread good. Trolling is also a problem: this includes personal attacks, incredibly shitty arguments, spiteful fakeposting, and generally acting like an unfunny dickhead. Just because someone is posting like a complete idiot doesn't mean you can call them a stupid asshole - you need to take the time and intelligently point out why they are being a stupid asshole.


4. Stop being the trash of the Internet. Acting like a creep, bigot, or self-righteous a**hole is especially frowned upon. If you've got some horrible opinion about a culture, race, gender, sexual orientation or individual, please keep it to yourself and do not post on these forums.

If you choose to act creepy, or any of the aforementioned no-nos for the sake of irony, you do so at your own risk. Irony and intent can be hard to judge in the volumes of stupidity we sometimes witness, and if a mod misjudges the intent of your post.... tough. If you're not prepared to take the risk then just don't do it.

Some of you might see this as a crackdown, but hey, that's what Shanks wants.

CLEANSE HOV OF ALL UNWORTHY TRASH!

Read the sticky threads to learn more.
We happen to have a very nice one about how to make neat looking signatures, and a two very nice ones that include information valuable to any potential stalker.
