No doubt, merely being polite and asking Coolio if he deemed them necessary as the thread poster. As a newcomer I know it took me a while to start reading the "fora" fluently. Although shouldn't it be a plural of thread rather than forum?

Also there was a recent post about nerf, buff etc. They had me confused for a while

Sweetie Plains is really just SP, not SWP. I haven't seen too many of the other ones going around (like Glitch-> GLI) but it would be useful to use them! Thanks for this.

Also, add that OP also means the user who posted the thread, because it is definitely going to confuse people.

User that posted the thread? Ive never seen it used that way before... does it stand for something?

Coolio,

This is an awesome post! Thanks for putting it together. It would have saved me a lot of time when i first started visiting the forum, and I'm sure it help many new players. I have no doubt it will be stickied soon.

A few suggestions:
- in the forum bug explanation, I would also include an brief explanation for the infamous "bump"
- include nerf & buff as it has been suggested, plus boost
- add HP and xHP as in 4HP soldier
- add turtling
- in the 20Q link, I would add that it's a forum game. At first I thought it was some sort of FAQ
- include a list of useful links that discuss game strategy. My suggestions:
* read through Tips for New Players
* Outwitters math Paths of Attack - an intro to Outwitters math
* read through and watch replays of Super-Titans Super-Titan Replay Discussion
* read through and watch replays of other players asking for advice Need advice? Post your replay!
* others?

- not sure if it's the scope, but maybe include a bit of the forum etiquette? Eg only post in the super-Titan thread if the game involves a super Titan player; when seeking advice, post to the thread mentioned above instead of creating a new thread, etc

- suggest that if players want to keep track of their whole progress, that they save the link to every game after it's finished (either on email/notepad or by posting on OSN)

- explain how to post links to replays as appropriate hyperlinks

I suggest we should standarize map abbreviations in 2/3 letters, Perhaps LN for Long Nine, MCH/MAC for Machination, and ACR for Acrospire?
