These past few months have been really … different in the terms of newer users. We've had these occurrences were in place of using the Introduction Subtopic we end up with learning names through RP requests and fanfics. For the older users who have beaten around the bush, we look at these weird introductions and “gossip like crazed elephants on LSD.†And it's just bad for us all. I for one want more loyal subjects pals who share in the cult following that is Starfox.

So this is an attempt to serve as a guide for new users to this form to help and understand how have a good first impression and have a happier life here as a quality member of SFO society as well as understanding key aspects of older SFO users and learning the "inside jokes" that is SFO.
