| Idiot's Guide to Forums I've only been on forums for a few months and I've noticed some terms that took awhile to understand. Forgive me for being a newbie but I thought someone might explain the meanings of some of these terms. Thanks. What exactly are the meanings of: Siggy - Sticky Thread Spamming Again thanks. I just don't want to spam with my siggy while posting on a sticky.

  | Siggy - Signature pic --> like the ones you have (or I have) Sticky Thread --> thread that is always at the top as it contains something of interest, look in most of the forums and you will see them Spamming --> posting repeatedly in different threads with the same thing (like the advertising bots) or just posting lots of crap to get your post count up (like Healz)...

| Thanks! I wasn't sure about spamming and was hoping I wasn't attracting the Thread Police. Any others come along and I'll ask. Thanks.

| Everybody MUST know what a MOD and ROCKER is, right? Quote:
Mods and Rockers The Mods and Rockers were two conflicting British youth subcultures of the early-mid 1960s. Gangs of mods and rockers fighting in 1964 sparked a moral panic about British youths, and the two groups were seen as folk devils. The rockers adopted a macho biker gang image, wearing clothes such as black leather jackets. The mods adopted a pose of scooter-driving sophistication, wearing suits and other cleancut outfits. By late 1966, the two subcultures had faded from public view and media attention turned to two new emerging youth subcultures - the hippies and the skinheads. I guess that some residents here in the sunny uk will get all nostalgic and tear up now.....
