Q: I just signed up and someone called me a Rag! I've been going for 45 years, I'm no Rag, fella...
A: Just relax. It's kind of an intiation thing. Newer posters are seen to be imposters and are called Rags (Un*ted fans).
Q: Whoa what? I can't start a new thread? What's going on?
A: In an attempt to remove all the spammes and real Rags from the board, there has been a decision to implement a 20 post minimum before you can start a new thread.
Q: Alrighty, here comes 19 more posts of spam!
A: Not so fast. Blatant spam will eventually see you banned.
Q: Okay then, Rag I get. Then WTF is an ITK or a WUM?
A: ITK is an "In the know", someone who has inside info about the club. If someone is pretending to be an ITK and actually has no idea about what's going on, they may be called a WUM, or "wind-up merchant". A BS artist if you will.
Q: I've heard we are being sponsored by Etihad. My Rag mate said this means "United". Say it ain't so!
A: Well, they're probably just WUMs (see above). The most correct translation from Arabic to English is "Unity" or "Union". Or in some rare dialects it means "Loads of moneyyyy!"
Q: Are we getting new kits then? I heard they may be made by Puma...
A: They are made by Umbro and they look remarkably similar to this:
Q: But, but... I saw a picture of a new home kit with white sleeves?
A: This?
It's more fake than Ronaldo's tan.
Q: Hey, how'd you do that? I've been trying to post a picture for ages?
A: Firstly, find the image you want, for instance: <a class="postlink" href="http://cms.442.haymarketnetwork.com/contentimages/blog/TheNoiseFromBrazil/Robinho_City.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://cms.442.haymarketnetwork.com/con ... o_City.jpg</a>
Then click on the button that says "Img"
Paste the URL between the tags
, and voila:
It's not that hard once you get the hang of it. Images on your computer must first be uploaded to Photobucket, Imageshack, or Flickr etc. It won't work from your hard drive. Sorry.
Q: Is it a muffin or a barm?
A: I'd say roll, but out of the two it's quite clearly a barm.
Q: I'm feeling depressed. Got a gratuitous picture of a lass I can look at?
A: Sure I do: <a class="postlink" href="http://bluemoon-mcfc.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=98528" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://bluemoon-mcfc.co.uk/forum/viewto ... =5&t=98528</a>. Either that, or just PM Jimharri.
Q: Lol rite i mite jus make my 1st post dose ne1 care if i type lyk im txting me m8 (y)?
A: Sure, you don't have to post like you're writing an essay (unless your name is JohnMaddocksAxe), but please have some consideration for basic spelling and grammar.
Q: Got any classic threads? I remember a few beauties...
A: Here's a shortlist, I'm sure there'll be more to come.
