1. What is the Revolution of Gaming?
The Revolution of Gaming is a forum for the discussion of both game-related topics and anything else worth discussing. We were founded on March 3 2008 by Synthos on an Invisionfree board. On August 29th of that same year, Synthos decided that he didn't want to own the site any more and the site was moved to the current location under the management of knnywood364.

2. Why should I register, and how do I do it?
Simply put, you can't contribute to the site until you register. This includes both the site itself and the Shoutbox. If you are not registered and you are using the shoutbox, you will be asked to register. If you don't your IP will be banned until you register.
To register, look for the link in the very upper lefthand corner of the index page. Follow the instructions. Make sure you use a real Email address because you will have to validate your account via Email. An administrator will usually validate your account within a day.

3. What are the rules?
The rules can be found on the index page, to the upper right of the shoutbox. It's the fifth in the line of tabs.

4. What do all those name colors / user groups mean?
Different colors are used for different user groups. Each of these groups has different permissions that allow them to do special things on the board.

Guest - Users that are not registered or logged in. Can read certain sections, but cannot post anywhere except the Guest Help section. This includes the Shoutbox. Cannot PM or email users. Cannot have a profile.

Members - The default registered user group. Can view and post in nearly every section. Can PM and email members. Can have a profile, which includes a blog.

Honored Members - Members who have been recognized for their contributions to the site. Can view and post in the same topics as Members and a few staff sections. They are the group chosen from, along with the Graphics Team, when a new moderator is needed.

Graphics Team - Members who make graphics for the board and for other members upon request. Can view and post in the same topics as Members and a few staff sections. They are the group chosen from, along with the Honored Members, when a new moderator is needed. They can moderate the Graphics section only.

Moderators - Moderate certain forums. They can view and post in every section. Moderators will be promoted to Global moderators after it is determined that they have shown themselves to be responsible enough.

Global Moderators - This group can moderate all forums and suspend members. They can also view and post in every section. Moderators, when needed, can be promoted to admins.

Admins - This group has total control over all aspects of the board. They can do everything a Mod can, and they can also change board settings, edit members, and add or delete sections.

Banned - These members have been banned from the board. They cannot view or post in any topics.

5. How do I get promoted?
Generally, asking this question means you WON'T get promoted. Members are promoted to higher positions once they have proven their worth over a time period of many months. The only exception is the Graphics Team, which only requires you to make graphics for people.

6. How do I edit my profile?
Click on the Preferences tab in the upper right hand corner of the page.

7. How do I change my username?
To request a name change, follow these steps:
1.At the top of the forum, click the Preferences button.
2.In the Board Settings menu, select Change Username.
3.Type your desired username in the New Username box, and click Change Username. Your name change request will have to be approved by an administrator, so the changes may not be applied immediately.
Do not request name changes too often. If you do they will be ignored.

8. Where can I ask other questions?
Guests are allowed to post any questions in the Guest Section section. Members can post them in the Help/Suggestions section.
