Welcome to the wild and crazy world of Trail Talk. In this guide,
I will go over various terminology, and ways of the Trail Talk (TT)
folk. Use this guide as a reference for any thing that you don't
understand that goes on here. However, before I continue, I
must warn you that this is one untamed site

SECTION A, Spelling and Grammar:
Always use your best spelling, and grammar. We have a few
English teachers, and one professor, that post here.
ACRONYMS must be capitalized if used, and please limit them
to the very basic ones of LOL, and BTW, after that the
TrailTalkinanes loose it. If you are brain dead, and need help,
and training on the laws of basic English we have this web page
for you.

SECTION B, Scientific stuff: When ever posting any thing that
is very scientific, please have sources to back that up, and a
link to a web page with the fact on it would be great. Most of the
TT crowed are narrow-minded; if you find something hard to
believe, don't expect them too. Oh' and one more thing, have
that source reliable, "the national enquire" doesn't work here.

SECTION C, TROLLS: If you have not been accused of being a
troll already, you have good luck today. Trolls are basically
people that are out for attention, and they will again that
attention by posting completely radical things, for only one
purpose, the purpose of creating havoc. If that has not explained
trolls well enough for you, we have this great web page that will
aid you in you search for what the hell a troll is. The websites
most infamous troll is Tarpy, he has posted under the aliases of
Wild Child, Mantra, Jara, Tarp Rat, ATBackpacker. In the past,
he hasn't post any thing worth while reading, however with in the
past week he changed his name to CX, and has posted nothing
but normal stuff, and I believe that he is trying to change his
ways. We also have another troll, his name is Joe Moma, there
are about 5 people with access to that name and post wild
things under it.

SECTION D, HTML: You can use most HTML in at this site,
just please don't go over bored with it. Matt, the Webmaster will
change your post if you go to over bored, and he doesn't like us
to post pictures often, because they slow down the site (and
this site has enough technical problems as is). If you don't know
much about HTML, well guess what, we have yet another great
web page to educate you about HTML and how it all works.

SECTION E, Trail Talk Terminology: A Trail hoe, is a person
that hikes a lot. A Trail Pimp is a person that makes up the
trips for us to hike on. A Trail virgin is a person that has never
been on an over night trip. A Trail B!tch is a person that hikes,
and likes it, but doesn't do it as often as the hoes. A Troll, well I
hope you know what that is by now. A Regular is a person that
posts nearly every day. A thread is the topic that your are
posting on. A Handle is your name, AKA Trail Name. A Lurker
is a person that surfs the site, however they don't post often or
at all. There's more but I just forgot it.

SECTION F, Bio's, Calendar, and Photo's: We have a web page
with pics of us nuts on it. You can find most of us on the page,
and many people that don't post any more. The older photos are
at the top of the page, and the lattés ones are at the bottom.
That web page is ran by Phil a TT regular, NOT Matt who is the
web master. We also have a a bio's page, with all of are bio's. I
don't know how accurate they are, but they are there. We also
have a page with all of are upcoming events on it. We call it a
calendar.

SECTION G, Instant Messaging (IM): Most of us have some for
of IM, weather it be, ICQ, AIM, MSN IM, , and or Yahoo. Some
of us use MSN, a slightly larger hand full of us use Yahoo, more
of us use AIM (AIM RULES), and most of us use ICQ.

This site crashes often so by a helmet, posting heavy HTML, or
when ever Matt tries to make a change, it crashes. You will
often get a line saying something about line 28, or line 26, don't
worry about it. Its not you computer it's the crazy server. To
survive here you are going to have to grow some thick skin. In
conclusion I welcome you to the nut house, enjoy.
