Welcome to Gaia! ::

T.A.P.G.U.I.T.

What It Is
It's a guide to Gaia, containing all the names and URLs for each forum and subforum, as well as the Suggestion threads.

History
Who cares about that? I took it out, for sake of length and relevance.

Purpose
The TAPGUIT doesn't have one single main purpose. There are several possibilities:
    1. It could be used to help the confused newbies who don't know what they're doing.
    2. You could use it as an index for your own purposes, so it will be easier to find the proper place to discuss a topic or post a thread.
    3. You could also refer others to this thread who are either interested in helping others, or who even might need a bit of help themselves.
    4. You could use it in the Q&A, in helping those who ask questions.
    5. Or, you could get creative and come up with some other use for it.


Pronunciation
Like tap-goo-it. Sounds weird, but that's the only acronym I could think of back then. Vote on the poll if you like one of my other ideas better, or if you wanna keep it. Don't know why you would, though. neutral

Download it...
Right here!
Here it is.

Feel free to download it and use it for yourself! Just make sure you keep my name in there, you would really suck if you didn't.
(Not to mention be plagiarizing. 3nodding )

GGST: Guide to Gaia's Stickies and Threads


It's yet another awesome Notepad file, not containing a list of forums and subforums like the TAPGUIT, but instead a list of relevant stickies and threads, mainly things like error reporting threads, suggestion threads, and rule/policy stickies and announcement threads.

Since the Stickies and such are even more subject to change and addition than the forums, it will probably need to be updated more often than the TAPGUIT. And since I can't pay attention to every forum and subforum... If you've noticed that I missed something, or something that you think shouldn't be left out, please post in this thread to inform me! (Or you can PM me, that's fine too, I guess)

RE-EDIT: This topic was formerly in the Questions & Assistance forum, but it has since been moved. Note the change, and the near two page debate about its location. sweatdrop
Ease the process of linking those users to the proper forum eh?
In what part of your guide does it say the Question and Answer forum is the correct place to post guides? biggrin

*Cheers* Yay Mckenzie! sweatdrop

This would be nifty, but it's in the wrong forum, so yeah.

Isn't this the Questions & Assistance forum? If you can think of a better place for this topic, please, don't hesitate to tell me now. Isn't that one of your jobs as a Gaian citizen, linking those who are posting a so-called "misplaced" topic?
what ever is helpful gos here i quess
Looks like the right place for it to me neutral How is this the wrong forum for it? He's providing assistance.

Excuse me, but isn't this the Questions & Assistance forum? If you can think of a better place for this topic, please, don't hesitate to tell me now. Isn't that one of your jobs as a Gaian citizen, linking those who are posting a so-called "misplaced" topic?

-nods- Is is assitance. I'm used to jsut refeiring to is as Q&a** because I really could care less. It's for people to ask site related questions and recieve and answer. The only reason I even posted about the guide misplacement because it's a guide to help people with misplacement. There's obviously some sort of problem there.

As for a better place, I personally think you should look around and the currently avalible stickies/guides and such and see if it can be added to one. Everything doesn't need it's own thread. Especially if the majority of it is contained in an off-site link. The normaly place for guides and such if EF, but threads need to be moved there, not created there (unless of course you speak with a noted EF mod beforehand to see if creating it there would be okay. In some cases it is).
His thread is in the correct spot as of now, and it's not hurting anyone. Nobody asked for your opinion on whether or not this thread is necessary. If you don't like it here, ignore it. domokun Have a nice day~

Let the mods decide this, I already PM'd one earlier today. And believe me, I have looked, thoroughly. If you've found a place for this, link me. Thanks for your suggestions, but they haven't helped me all that much. sweatdrop

By the way, a close relative of mine, a relatively well-known zombie of the Exchange, agrees in the placement of this topic.

stare There's no need to use that tone of posting....

No need for that tone of posting as well... sweatdrop
*whine* she asked for it.... ;__; *pokes your zombieness* whee

Besides, uh, how do you get tone from reading text on the internet? domokun I know I was being slightly rude, but peaches seemed polite to me~

Heh, every word has combined into a sentence presenting to the reader a tone. Anyways, there isn't a need to prove who's right or wrong...
Well, you're a mod. Do you think this topic belongs in here?
Shettai
Looks like the right place for it to me neutral How is this the wrong forum for it? He's providing assistance.

Maybe you'd like the check the Forum rules and Guidelines threads and read under the section titled 'For those offering assistance'. You'll notice making and maintaining guides isn't apart of it. Generally the only time assistance focus threads are acceptable is when there is a current site wide issue in which people are coming to the Q&A about (such as error report threads).

Shettai, anything publicly posted is open for opinion ^_^
Never said I didn't like it either.

PotP, if you already pmed one, why didn't you wait for a responce?
As for current stickies or help threads such a link would be useful in:
Stuff you need to know : in WtG
Gaia: A User's Guide : EF
The HUG Version 1.2 {How to Use Gaia} : Also EF - Currently doens't have a section on reporting things. Possible the author isn't planning on adding that kind of section.
ED: What belongs here, and what should not be posted here. : -shrugs-
Howto: PM a mod to get a thread moved.: EF

Those are just from the Gaia Online section fo the forum index. There are also countless GGN guilds as well where a resource like this would be quite appropriatiate.

Regardless of whether or not this is the right forum, I am glad that I got to see this thread.

Thanks for making the guide. I saved it so I can use it here in the Q&A biggrin
