Thank you.It's been a couple of years since we started SMAP FREEBIRD.We didn't want them but as time passed, somethings got out of hand, we realised we needed them...~ FREEBIRD BASICS ~Signatures:Size DOES matter! Small is IN! Please refer to signature sizes like Masako-chan, Pams or mine...Reason: very distracting. They look like advertisements which I pay aimoo to get rid of!Avatars:Avatar should be no more thanW200 X L300pixels.Avatar size should remiain within theprofile column of the board.If your avatar causes the standard profile column line on the left to stick-out into the posts, it is too big.SMAP related avatars preferred.Starting new topics:Run thru the thread/topic titles before you start a new topic.If there ISan existing thread in relation to your post,DO NOTstart a new one.This is so that our board stays neat& user friendly. We can easily locate the topics we want to post in or get information of what we want without the headache of searching.Replying:If you're replying to the immediate post above you or posting in relation to the few posts just before you, pls use the big "reply" button(next to the "New Topic" button)at the top & bottom of the page. If you use the 'quote & reply' button(looks like this:"...")too often, it makes the threads very long & repetitive.Use the'quote & reply' button(looks like this:"...")when the topic you want to talk about or reply to is already not current.Font Colours/Size/Style:We reserve colours and bold, italics, underline or BIG fonts to things we want to announce or are important...Please do not change fonts, unless you want to emphasize something.Not every single post in your fave colour or BIG BOLD FONTS so you can be different from others!I HATE getting a rude shock when I see a whole block of coloured words or some BIG BOLD RED words thinking it's some big smap news and it's not!!Download Page access:To get access to Download page, you must be an active member in Freebird.If you don't haveaccess to theDLs but youthink you an active memberor will be one, pls PM me.DO NOT give me any reasons...

(Usually I ignore)PLEASE COMMENT ON THE CLIP AFTER WATCHING.This access can be withdrawn at anytime if you MIA ordo not post comments after DLing the clips.I hate "He's so cute thanks for the clip" & "Thanks for the DL" type of one liner posts!NO SHARING of files outside Freebird.
