General
What is Ginocide.com?

Ginocide.com was born on July 18th, 2003.  I started it out of boredom about a month or so beforehand, first as an online journal, then it grew fairly rapidly to have more features.  I added music mini-reviews, funny pictures from the internet, and pictures of my friends from parties we had.  As more of my friends started visiting the site, the more friend-centralized it became.  It's now basically a way for all of us to stay connected.  Hang on, I need a Kleenex...  I believe the central features of the site are the Hilarious Caption Contest and the forum.  That's basically it.  Enjoy.

How can I receive news as to when Ginocide.com is updated?
Join the mailing list.  It's on the bottom-right cell of the Home page.  Generally, the site is updated every other Thursday, but sometimes weekly.

I want to profess my undying love for Ginocide.com or give Gino new ideas to make the site better.  How can I?
Simply e-mail me at Gino@Ginocide.com.

Can I get a shirt?  How much are they?
Since I don't have a stockpile of leftover merchandise, shirts must be ordered before they're made.  To receive updates as to when a new shirt design is going to be made, join the mailing list.

I want a Ginocide.com e-mail address.  Can I have one?
Absolutely.  I am allotted 200 e-mail addresses and I am sure that is enough for anyone that wants one.  Simply e-mail me at Gino@Ginocide.com to get your Ginocide.com e-mail address (please specify what you want your e-mail address to be).  My server has two e-mail programs that can be used to check your mail: Horde and SquirrelMail.  You can check your e-mail at http://www.ginocide.com/webmail.  If you don't want to check your e-mail via my server, you can have your Ginocide.com e-mail address forward to any other e-mail address.

Who are all those crazy people I see all over this site?
Those people are my friends, or at least that's what they tell me.  To see more of them, go to the People page or check out the forum.

I have secretly fallen in love with Randy "Ishmael" Lundquist and I want a buddy icon of him.  Do you have any?
Yes, they can be found on the Downloads page.  However, I'm quite concerned with your infatuation with Ish.  You should probably see someone about that.


Ginocide.com Forum
What is the Ginocide.com forum?
The Ginocide.com forum is where the visitors of Ginocide.com discuss various things such as movies, music, tech stuff, funny stuff, or just about anything else.  It is built on the popular phpBB forum software.  Check it out.

I can read posts made by others, but why can't I make posts on the forum?
Due to abuse in the past by random users, only registered members can post on the forum.  Click here to register.  Be forewarned, using false names or registering with malicious intent will not be tolerated and you will be promptly banned from the forum.  We are a small community and we welcome newcomers, just be yourself and try not to be too much of an ass.

Alright, I've registered, why can't I post yet?
Due to abuse in the past by registered users, all user registrations must be approved by me.  I know it sucks, but those are the rules.  As stated above, don't pretend to be anyone else or hide behind a silly name just so you can slander others.

I am one of the billions of irrational people who are afraid of clowns.  Do I have to see the scary clown guy on the forum?
First of all, his name is Foo Foo and he must be respected.  Currently there are two themes for the forum, smartDark (default) and subSilver.  To change the theme, go to your profile (in the menu near the top of the page), scroll down and change the Board Style to subSilver.  Scroll down and click on Submit.

I'm sorry, I'm not a huge nerd.  What's an avatar?
An avatar is basically a buddy icon.  Your avatar will display next to all of your posts.  The avatar can be no larger than 150 pixels wide by 150 pixels high and 49 kilobytes.  You can change your avatar by going to your profile and scrolling all the way down to the bottom of the page.

I can tell you guys are a pretty tight clique that love to talk about things that are both stupid and dorky.  Can I still join the forum?
Yes, we welcome newcomers as long as they aren't chotches or total douchebags.  Anyone who acts as such will be treated as such... and then banned.
