BB Code

In certain areas of the site we allow you guys to format your submitted text as well as add links & images. To do this, you must use a simple syntax called BB Code. BB Code has been around for awhile now so some of you may be familiar with it, but for those of you who are not familiar or simply looking for a brush-up, we've got a quick little guide to help you out!

Why can't I just use HTML?

We chose to use BB Code over HTML because in a online public community like this it is inevitable someone will use code or styling in a malicious manner. We strive to provide you with as much customization as possible while still keeping the site looking clean and operating correctly. Our use of BB Code is reflection of that philosophy.
