1. Be nice.
2. Cuss all you want, but don't cuss in the thread title.
3. If you're going to complain about Steam, do it in one of the numerous threads we already have about it (Google).
4. If you're going to complain about GOG, see if someone has already complained about that same thing first (Google).
5. Don't beg for free games. Especially do not create new threads begging for free games.
6. Don't create a new thread asking about why X game is not on GOG, that's what the wishlist is for.

Erm, I think that's about it.

1. don't beg for rep or games
2. don't whine about rep. not that rep. really means much outside of giveaways
3. don't scam other users
4. don't be a douche, well you can be one but it's just bad form
5. this is not a rule per-say as much of a peice of freindly advice stay out of any threads talking about DRM or Steam, it just get's rediculous in those..

I think that's about it.

Edit: forgot 6. Stay away from TET's secret dragon guarded game hoard..

No swearing in thread titles.
No links to naked pics.
Blue-texts actually work for GOG.
Down-repping in a gifting thread is a jerk move.
Please remember GOG is based in Poland and keeps European hours, there may be a bit of a delay from US time.
Sending someone running a giveaway a pm begging for a game is considered rude (normally).
If you have any problems GOG Support is pretty awesome at sorting stuff out.
Linux versions of games are not currently offered by GOG.
A lot of the GOG games that are not currently available for Macs can actually run on a Mac using Wine, DOSBox, PlayonMac, or CrossOver.
The Stickies Compendium 2.0 is very useful.
The "What did just update?" thread is great for tracking what has actually changed when a game says it is updated.
Remember to vote for games you would like to see on GOG here.
You cannot post links until you have more than 10 rep (I think it's ten).
If your account is stuck (something is not showing up, the update number wont go away, etc) try refreshing it: https://secure.gog.com/en/account/refresh/
The community is extremely international.
PaySafeCards are now supported! Woo!

And most importantly... Have fun!

Awww, don't teach new members bad habits right off the bat :-p

mindspiral, it is generally considered good manners here to try to write as clearly as possible. We're not all grammar nazis, and since people here are from all over the world, the level of skill with the English language naturally varies. Lack of skill is an excuse. Lack of trying is not. People tend to get annoyed when it's obvious people aren't even trying to communicate properly. And for the love of God, no txtspk! ;-)

The Winter Sale ends Dec 29th.

The regular release schedule will resume afterwards. The schedule is: new games are released on Tuesday and Thursday, sales are on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The Friday sale generally lasts the whole weekend. At least one old game is released per week. Monday and Wednesday sales often only last 24-48 hours.

Fallout 1, 2, and Fallout Tactics are likely leaving GOG at the end of 2013, so if you want them pick them up now. You will always be able to download games you have purchased, even if the games are removed from the catalogue.

While there is a lot of discussion about classic games here, do not post links to Abandonware sites. Abandonware is technically and legally piracy, and GoG as a company trying to resurrect classic titles do not want to be seen directing to it.
