Thanks for joining The Arrogant Atheist Forum! Here's a quick rundown of everything you need to know on our forum...
The first tab you should get familiar with is: All Discussions - it will show all the latest discussions on the board. This is how most people navigate the forum threads. My Discussions is a tab that reveals only those discussions to which you've posted a response. It's nice if you're only interested in discussions you've participated in.
If you'd like to start a new discussion, see the navigation bar to the right and click: Start a New Discussion.
Notice on the board, you start out as a Serf. To get promoted to Citizen status, you need to participate in discussions for a while and you will be considered for promotion.
You may have noticed some users have other titles besides Serf and Citizen: Baron, Archduchess, etc.. These users have donated (see the sidebar) and this is the only way to receive these different titles.
On that note, we want to remind you to be friendly. You can strongly oppose another's post but please don't personally attack another member. We're all here for the same purpose: to promote intellectual discussion. No one needs to get hurt feelings for that to occur.
Now, with our walk-through complete, we'd like to direct you to the Categories tab. It's another way to navigate the forum where you can view topics by their content. "Into The Fray" is for debate amongst those of all beliefs and non-belief. "Atheists Only" is aptly titled - only atheists may post in there. "Mashing" is for joking, off-topic and general amusement posts.
Finally, why don't you visit the "Your Grand Entrance" category and introduce yourself. :)
