z!F Guide to Guides and Resources

[Purple Pimp Crusader]

»»»»the z!F Guide to Guides and Resources««««

✔ Welcome to the z!F unofficial Guide to Guides and Resources. The z!F is awash with excellent guides that sadly just aren't getting to the people who need them, due to a combination of low bumping rates, new threads, people forgetting links, and just plain being missed. I aim to make this thread the only guide in the z!F that needs to be bumped, and a repository of links to answer any problem our community is presented with.

✔ This thread is perpetually a work in progress- if you happen to know of a thread or guide not linked here, please send me the URL and I'll add it to the appropriate section as soon as possible. If you see a guide listed that you know is out of date, please inform me so I can add a note to it or remove it entirely.

✔ Update, 08/11/2018: Photobucket has reversed their new policy update, so all threads that rely heavily on images should be fine.
✔ Update, 08/11/2017: Photobucket has updated their policy so that you can't post photobucket images elsewhere unless you have a paid account. This has played merry hell with a number of image-heavy guides. I'm pretty sure I managed to label all the threads made basically or mostly useless by this update, but tell me if I missed one (or if one I labeled is still somewhat useful even without images).
✔ Update, 03/26/2017: I've started going through and checking old guides while I add new ones. If a post says "all guides in this post are either active again or still accurate" underneath the main header, then I've checked all those posts and removed all the inaccurate/inactive ones. I'm still adding new guides in the meantime, and would still appreciate help with checking old guides. Especially the DMS ones. I have no way to check if those are accurate myself.
✔ Update, 03/15/2017: Because I am slow and not very knowledgeable about zOMG, it's going to take a while to go through all of these threads and figure out which ones need to be removed, so while I work on that, I'm going to be adding the year the thread was first made and y'all can do what you will with that information.
✔ Update, 03/13/2017: Now that zOMG is back, we're all probably lost to one degree or another. Some of these guides may be out of date or not really applicable for one reason or another, but I thought it would be nice to have them easily accessible again, and I'm going to start adding to the list again once we get the new guides going. Welcome back, zOMG, z!F, and all the oldbies, and welcome to the club to all the newbies. Hopefully we're all here to stay this time. ^^
