Site Rules:
Rule #1
Always be respectful to your fellow posters, no bashing, judging or baiting into arguments, try to remain civil even in a heated debate. Avoid calling other posters out and take all personal disagreements to private message and off the open board.
Rule #2
No Bashing Jeff or Jordan, this includes implying that either of them did something inappropriate.
Rule #3
Appropriate Content, in other words try to always keep this in mind while posting "Would Jeff and Jordan feel comfortable reading what i am about to post?" For example a topic to avoid would be "Booger" or overly enthusiastic discussion about marriage and children. For example you can hope they live happily ever after, but do not post in a way that demands it from either of them. This is their lives, we are here to observe not get involved.
Rule #4
Try to stay positive, you are of course allowed to post your concern over Jeff and Jordan but try not to dwell on it and overwhelm a thread with thoughts like "Oh no they are breaking up!" or "They don't want to live together". We don't know what goes on in their lives and we can only make observations and try to keep the vibe here a positive one.
Rule #5
Do not encourage fanatic behavior from others. Topics to avoid: Hacking personal accounts, use of the word "stalker" as if it's a good thing, promoting searches for Jeff and Jordans' personal contact information or encouraging others to follow them.
Rule #6
Try to limit all threads to Jeff and Jordan related topics, with the exception of the introduction thread, try to avoid conversations about other HG's unless it pertains to Jeff and Jordan.
Rule #7
Stay on Topic. A little deviation can lead to a good discussion, but most of the time it leads to confusion, so please try to stay on topic of the thread you are in. If you have new information you would like to post, scroll through the already exsiting topics and find the most appropriate place to post.
Rule #8
Do not discuss moderation or debate site rules on the open board. If you have a problem with the way your posts was modded or if you have a problem with the site or a moderator, please address all concerns in either a private message to a mod or through the contact page.
If you think another site member is breaking these rules feel free to flag their post or contact a mod.
Rule #9
Do no initiate board wars with other sites. You are free to discuss info from other sites but please avoid bringiong their negativity here to discuss.
Rule #10
No Spamming
Rule #11
Do not use posts to place judgment other fans or criticize other posters interest in a current topic. Words such as "Who cares" or "why are we even talking about this?" are to be avoided. If you don't care for a topic being discussed simply do not engage in discussion, don't make others feel bad that they are disucssing something you feel they shouldn't. Its not your place to pass such judgment.
Rule #12
Do not take posts by other members personal. Do not immediately react as if something another member said was a shot against you or that you were specifically called out. Most of the times this is a result of a misunderstanding and can easily be cleared up if you address it privately with the person you feel slighted you. Posts online can often be misread, feelings can be misconstrued so please keep that in mind and don't always assume the worst. Send the person a PM and try to clear it up there and not on the open board where other people can get involved and make matters worse.
If you have any further questions or need to report a rule breaker please feel free to contact me or one of the mods here either through the contact page or personally through their profile pages.
The Site's "How 2 Guide"
Why can't I view certain parts of the site?

How do I regisiter to become a member?
On the Home page of this site you will see what is called "the sidebar", it's the section of the page on the right hand side that contains updates on new videos, forum posts, members, so on. At the top of the side bar you will see this:
Click "Register" to pull up this window:
Fill in the boxes with valid information and then click "Sign Up".
You will receive an email confirming you have signed up for the site, but you must wait until an admin has manually accepted your membership before you are allowed access to the full features of the site.
When your membership is accepted, you will receive an email stating that you are now a member and than you may log into the site with your new username and password.
I registered but I can't log in?
This problem is often due to your membership not being approved yet by a site admin. The admin must manually approve your membership, after which you will receive an email stating your membership has been approved.
Please be patient as this process is done manually and it's whenever an admin gets around to checking on new membership requests. But rest assured we check several times a day, so your wait shouldn't be too long.
How do I edit my site profile?
Once you are logged in you will see a "Members Area" section at the top of the sidebar, from here you can access your member's profile, inbox and wall.
Clicking your name will bring you to your profile page or "wall"
Here you can post a status update about yourself, view your recent site activity or read comments other members have left you. You can also view your friends list and your general info. This profile page is public to all members so make sure to only post info you don't mind others knowing.
You can also gain access to your private message inbox and profile edit page.

The first page you will see is "Edit profile"
Here you can:

On your profile page you will have a box to the left of other members who have accepted your friends request.

You can also compose group emails to your friends, but only amongst your own friends that are in your buddy list.

The easiest way and preferred way to post a video is to click on the option "embed code", though other options will work.
After clicking the tab "embed video" choose video channel that your video would fit best in. You will see a pull down menu like this:
Choose the channel and move on to the next boxes.

The other options to post a video, URL, Search Youtube, Upload... not recommended because it makes it difficult for us to edit the video after the fact in case something is wrong with the way it's posted.

Go tot he photo gallery page:
Click on the "Add photos" Button at the top Right
Next Select the album you want your photo(s) to go:
Then Click "Upload photos"
and you should pull up your computer desktop so you can search for the photo file you want to upload. Upload begins as soon as you select a file.

Once you have collected all the photos you wish to upload and the progress bar has stopped, showing that the upload is complete, you will see this:
After you see this, you must scroll to the bottom of the page and click "Submit"
This will take you to a new page, where the site is processing your submission. Let the page full load (may take a few minutes) and than when you see all your photos loaded you can use this area to add captions or description or photo credit to the pictures.
