Many of the discussions we see in the Newbie Chat are mostly on the same few subjects. This post will provide you information on where to search for the info you need, and at first it is important you do just that SEARCH** and READ.

The pinned FAQ and Tutorial sections at the top of the advanced technical forums will answer most questions you have before even having to post in this Forum.

Finally too many newcomers have a short career at XS as they get banned in the first few posts, and simply because they do not read the Posting Rules & Guidelines. The rules are clear about no talk of piracy, Warez, downloaded games, downloaded ss files, fraud, not respecting Live Terms of Service, not to use backup on Live, question about ban on Live... read them.

Enjoy all XS has to offer,

rgds, soso


**Searching: You are responsible to do a reasonable effort of searching before posting. By respect to all who invest time in helping, plse read the following extracted from the rules and thks for your cooperation

Making Posts/Threads/Topics on these forums:
... With that said, it is recommended that before you consider making a post in ANY forum on this site that you first review the Pinned/Sticky Topics at the top of the forum you are interested in. Chances are, anything you might want to ask, has already been asked and answered there. If not, do a search. No one likes to answer the same question a 1000 times. If you make a post that has been done many many time before, staff might close it, or merge it with others.
So.. before making a post, check existing topics.. both pinned, and by search. Still think you should/can make a post?
