Title: Hello!
Post by: Phantom on June 19, 2013, 06:38:52 PM: I'm Phantom, and I love the Land Before Time. Although I don't consider the sequels as cannon, I do enjoy watching them now and then. So far, my favorite sequel is the Stone of Cold Fire. On a similar note, my favorite LBT dinosaurs are the rainbow-faces. Outside LBT, I've always loved dinosaurs in general. My favorite dinosaur is the Allosaurus, with the Stegosaurus and the Velociraptor following as a close second and third.
Outside of dinosaurs and LBT, I enjoy Broadway shows, video games, books, music, and movies. That may sound vague, but I tend avoid genre-recognition, and have insanely undecisive tastes.
I've been following this site for almost a year now, and I'm glad to be a part of this community.

. . . The end, I guess.

Post by: Phantom on June 19, 2013, 07:50:27 PM: I do have a question, actually. Is one allowed to post links to any (appropriate) website on this forum? I've been on some forums that don't allow links to major sites.
Title: Hello!
Post by: Justin1993 on June 19, 2013, 07:51:42 PM: I would say it depends on the content and it's relevancy to the topic at hand, as well as appropriateness.
Title: Hello!
Post by: Phantom on June 19, 2013, 07:54:57 PM: Oh, good. I'm glad this isn't a *insert portmanteau version of fascism and forum here* like some other places.

This forum is rather easy on the rules. We accept any kind of link except for pornography and spammy sales links (and anything else that would fall under inappropriate or complete spam).

Linking to other websides is generally permitted on the GOF when the links lead to pages of any relevance to the discussion topic or the like and if they are not leading to any material that would not be appropriate for a page visited by kids as well. Posting commercial spam of course is a no-go (time and again we have to delete spam accounts from people who apparently believe that the GOF was the best place to sell kitchen furniture and the like :huh).
Anyway, welcome to our group :)

By multi-quote, do you mean separate posts with quotes from separate sources? You can do this in one post by using the quote button on the replying page. Click it once to start quote, copy/paste or type the quote, and press the button again to end the quote. Like so

There is a typed out example of how the beginning should look should you add the timestamp.
I think this is what you are looking for.

Post by: Mumbling on June 20, 2013, 01:02:55 PM: You can double post if you wish to bump a topic back from the depths... If it's on the same day however, we'd rather have an edit :)

Most Disney movies, most Don Bluth movies, and a few non-animation movies, such as Tomb Raider, Terminator, and a bunch of other ones that I can't remember right now. :lol
