Well first off, read the forum rules that are posted in each subforum. But unfortunately, the forums are not so friendly as you think, according to recent topics.

Others will tell you what and what not to do here.

However, it's been confirmed that the subforums that are not the General Discussion are more friendlier.

You'll see what I mean the longer you stay.

Hi!

Well first off, most of the introductory threads get posted to New Recruits, not general discussion, If you edit the post you can change which one it is from the drop-down menu, if I recall.

As for the friendliness and helpfulness of the forums, it's what you make of it! From what I have seen, generally if you post rants and or inflammatory topics you get reactionary replies, but if you're helpful/inquisitive and straightforward, people tend to be helpful. If you can refrain from needing to add to big personal debates and steer clear of existing hostile threads, you should do just fine. The hostility seems to self-compartmentalize.

Your best bet is to do your own research first, and use the forums to fill in the gaps. Look around and see if there is already a thread answering your question. Otherwise, you should be good!

Happy posting

Edit: Thanks for the catch Mystrian, totally missed that. Stupid syntax error. Fixed the link.

Welcome!

Glad to have another forumer to talk with!

The forums are rather simple, and you've gotten the basics of posting down. You can put a "0" as a subject if you want there to be no subject line, and a few simple HTML tags are available for use to stylize your posts, such as and . You've found out how to get a forum picture, so that's great!

The forums range from overly friendly to rather hostile. For the most part, you will meet those complaining about game-balance issues (e.g., the use of Auto-Target and the drop rates for radiant fire crystals), those who are a joy to have around (be it upbeat or jokester), and the downers. In other subforums you'll find a much broader scope of people (Such as the treasure vault, suggestions, and new recruits), or a more condensed version of the ones mentioned(such as the coliseum).

I hope you enjoy your stay!

General dicussion: fairly civilized, but threads here are generally trashy and pointless, occasionally there will be ppl announce quitting the game, if you see one, NEVER POST ON IT.

New recruit: fairly friendly, but very inactive, the recruitment rate isn't as high as it used to be.

Arsenal: a place where the pro discuss pro things about weapons, don't post here if you know nothing about SK weapons.

Coloseium: toxic level 9000+, avoid posting on this section at all cost, refrain from repling to contri, Feyi-Feyi and Darkcub.

Gremlin chatter: even more pointless than General discussion, post here if all you ever cared about are ponies, rainbows and bunnies.

Wiki editor: only Zeddy, Bopp and few other geniueses are allowed to post here, everyone else save themselves the trouble of getting laughed at.

Treasure vault: where ppl post fanfics that general fail due to lack of idea, ppl also post fan art here, some good, some bad and once in a while you will find a story that IS so bad that it ruins your childhood, proceed at ur own discression.

Graveyard: where ppl dump dead threads, don't post here, unless u like getting eaten by zombies.

Bazzar: a bunch of merchants getting filthy rich down in there, if u have anything that isn't a material or a maid headband, you can try to sell them here, event though doing them in game is so much easier.

Guild recruitment: if you want to join a guild, look no further, try not to apply to some epic guild like Jempire and EoS, they will deny u for sure.

@Midnight-Dj
Well Lionheart is a pretty epic guild, and I think Mawashimono would like a new member to keep an eye on the forums. For alas, I have been inactive to coming into the game itself, and she needs a new spy.

Anyways, welcome to your grave! If you would like to make a suggestion, have some backup weapons and backup weapons for those backup weapons. Don't make more than one thread per week or else people will call you a spammer. Please use propper grammer and use abbreviations (abs) correctly. If you ever double post, be sure that you do NOT note your double post by making another post about your double post. Do not show any shape, form, or color of taste, support, and/or appreciation for the current Radiant drops or else EVERYBODY will come to obliterate you (by the way part of the forum community gets pretty toxic at times). Manipulate prodigious dissertations. Do not hold or participate in giveaways as we all know that they are fake. Do not suggest new weapons, armor, bosses, shields, dual wielding, marriage/gender, houses, sky clockworks, mobile apps, merchandise, or website upgrades as they will never, EVER work or ever had worked (excluding The Collosium). People will start calling you Larry if you suggest Greaver nerfs, but I will not say that suggesting said idea would be bad. Links, giant text, and destructive criticism is encouraged. Combuster and Acheron will always be better than Voltedge or Glacius. If a GM posts, make a post that relates to the GM simply posting. Necroing threads is better than creating new threads. If you make a thread in the Bazaar folder, expect it to reach page 10 within a day. We like people that play games in Gremlin Chatter. Please avoid necroing threads without adding any relevant information into it. Eat cupcakes. Don't make threads asking where Nick is. Do not ask for #10. And NEVER, I repeat NEVER, bring up the topic of <69.

I hope this encourages you to actively post on the forums. Enjoy your day!

(New Recruits plz-- and DO NOT leave a shadow copy)

Ey chap

-If you are here for fame, then wait for it, don't run for it, and don't beg to be slapped.
-If you want to release the Leonardo Da Vinci in you, go to the Treasure Vault. *Dante also works*
-If you have a question about anything in-game, use Google and add Spiral Knights Forums in the end of it, you will most likely find your answer, and if you don't, post it in New Recruits.
-If you made a group of derps, and want more derps to join you, Guild Recruitment is your destination.
-If you are a fan of mythbusting, and being a numberphile, The Arsenal suits you. You can help fellow derps there as well.
-If you have Gel Drops to sell, just post that in Bazaar and you will be a millionaire in NO time.
-If you want to join other derps in questions about life, spamming crap, and how Nick can smoke, then Gremlin Chatter is the best place. *Although Gremlins are enemies, but whatever...*
-If you have an idea to improve the game, could pass by Suggestions. Consider yourself lucky, since there is no Luguiru right now. *You will get to know Luguiru if you venture in the history of Spiral Knights Forums, so don't ask about it.
-If you want to post something on the wiki of SK, use the wiki editors to discuss things and what not.

Lastly, if you want to test your manliness, your ego, your butthurt level, The Coliseum has its gates wide open for anyone.

Oh, and that General Discussion... Look, it's basically a rant, moaning, hair pulling, conspiracy theorists, paranoids, attention seekers, complainers, and... Y'know, if you want to argue with someone for the sake of it, or burning someone, OR even having a laugh, then come'ere, we'll welcome you.

Enjoy your stay, sir.

Hello and welcome!

You will most likely see threads that are stickied titled Forum Rules and Help. I suggest you read that (and also the Terms of Service on the wiki). If you scroll down to the bottom of a threads page you will find a More information about formatting options link and two text boxes (Subject and Comment). These only appear when you have logged in to the site.

Basically what people have already said with links to direct you.

And Moose-Margarine [post #2], just a reminder that you have non clickable link.

Yeah never reply to me as Midnight said.
I might do horrible things such as reply to you in return.

How these forums react to what you say is mostly dependent on the topic at hand.
If you ask for help, we will help you. If you express opinion, people will express theirs.

So welcome, enjoy your stay at Casa de Contri.

Now that all the important stuff is out of the way, I can now give a goofy greeting. Now let me look at my list. I have no new greeting to give to you, so a simple hello, watch what you post, have fun will have to do. Hello, watch what you post, have fun.

Also, if you refuse to follow contri, then join the resistance.

Or you can be a normal type of person and don't care about Contri or the resistance. (This is the Colliseum overflowing in the GD)

Edit: I also welcome you to the forum with my alt account since I am at school atm.

The forum is the only place I go to, SK is dead to me. (and you won't find a Thread about me leaving XD)

my 2 cents

Some people like to role play... in bed!

sorry, too easy >.<

There is a french comedian that did a sketch and now a lot of french people do this (French Canadian). Whenever you open a fortune cookie, add "... in bed" afterwards, makes it a lot more funnier ^ ^

So I add "...in bed" to a lot of sentences just because I opened a fortune cookie when I ate sushi Friday -_-

Do not dissent against the omnipotent majestic pony. For without our hoofed deity, we would not be here in Spiral Knights today. All shall fall upon their knees, gazing with awe and hope upon the glorious Contri. Behold! Even this year, the year of the Horse, marks his waking to power, his zenith of his career, the acne of all things combined.

Oh yeah. Hi.

It was our great ancestor Monomi who was the stem of life! Without Monomi, none of us would have been created! Indeed, without Monomi, your hoofed deity would have never been created!

Sing this to "All Hail Shadow"

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=D2Qa2J4j3_8

All hail Contri! Ponies rise again.
Obliterating everything not worshipin'.
No sword can bring him down.
Nothing can stop him now.
When there's nothing left to do, he wins.

"Give swords to me." All hail Contri!
"I need CE." All hail Contri!

Play LD and then you will see-ee
The winner is Contri inside of this country
It's never over, just another day.
No matter what you seek,
Contri comes, up, stands up, to say:

"Ponies are the only success
Because no one else wins
I am the best!"

All hail Contri! Ponies rise again.
Obliterating everything not worshipin'.
No sword can bring him down.
Nothing can stop him now.
When there's nothing left to do, he wins.

"Give swords to me." All hail Contri!
"I need CE." All hail Contri!

Somewhere in SK we all LD spam.
Our falling players are the ones left to wham.
Swords are guns and guns are bombs.
Everyone must kill the zombs!
Nothing ever brings joy
Except for Contri.

"Ponies are the only success
Because no one else wins,
I am the best!"

All hail Contri! Ponies rise again.
Obliterating everything not worshipin'.
No sword can bring him down.
Nothing can stop him now.
When there's nothing left to do, he wins.
