How can I get music, videos and the like on my website/blog/profile?

• It's some simple HTML code:
  
• <object><embed src="path to your music here" autostart ="true" loop="true" width="180" height="18" controller="true" controls="console"></object>
  
  
• If you want it to be invisible, modify the width and height attributes to "0".
  
• Look here for all the attributes you can use to modify the embedded stuff.
  
• For profiles, please check this out.

I have a joke!

• Great, we love computer jokes! Post it here!

What about hacking, being hacked, "Is your son a hacker"?

• Have you been hacked? Don't know. When it comes to Gaia, take it to Q&A or PM a mod.
  
• Are you a hacker? Don't know. We don't particularly care either. Don't ask, don't tell.
  
• What do you think of hackers? We don't care.
  
• The general consensus follows these definitions: hacker, cracker and script kiddies.
  
• Want to become a hacker? Find out here.
  
• You've run across a story about a concerned father who believes his son is a hacker. He has decided to "enlighten" you about these activities so you may recognize it in your own kids. Yes, we've seen it. This story was created over seven years ago. I'll say it once. We've seen it. Don't post it. And yes, it is satire. It is a joke. Don't post it anymore.

Where can I post an image of my desktop?

• Post it here! We love to see your carefully thought color coordinated themed desktops and their backgrounds. wink
  

[Pirogoth Wolfblood]

Where can I post an image of my setup, desk, casemod, room, etc?

• Try right here! We love to see people's setups. We don't know why, just post them!
  

[Pirogoth Wolfblood]

Can I post "shock" images?

• Sites discussing the multiple shock images/sites out there are generally not welcomed, and the pictures are not to be posted anywhere on Gaia (as a link or through image tags), or you will be smited. Hard.
  

[Pirogoth Wolfblood]

Those "crash differently" video's are so funny!

• Yes, very funny. We've seen them. They are inaccurate and do not support any Mac/OS X bashing. Do not post them, link them or otherwise mention them.
  

[Pirogoth Wolfblood]

Yay, Xanga, MySpace, etc!

• Yes, we know it's stupid cool. Don't post it. We don't care. Post and be smited.
  
• If your looking for skins or what not, they all have a ton of skins on their website, so check their first.

What instant messenger do you prefer?

• Not much needs to be said about this topic. It's a matter of preference and more suited to the chatterbox than the C&T.
  
• If you have a problem with your instant messenger however, we'd be happy to help you.

How do I get past my school's filtering/proxy stuff?

• You don't. As simple as you might find it to be, this would fall under the section of Hacking/Cracking, as it would require you to bypass settings that most schools require you to follow and abide by.
  
• Bypassing your school's filtering/proxy software violates your school's Internet Usage Policy and can get you expelled from school for even attempting to bypass it, and as Gaia's ToS states, no one is allowed to post anything that can cause you harm.
  

[Pirogoth Wolfblood]

Can I get some coding help?

• It's great you want to ask us questions about coding. There are a good few programmer's here.
  
• Asking for help on homework is alright; asking for us to do your homework for you is not.
  

[Pirogoth Wolfblood]

Are there any <your item/software here> users here?

• More than likely. Don't ask. If you need help about something specific, ask that instead.
  
• If we do, we like it, if we don't we either don't know about it or we didn't like/can't afford it. Don't ask.
