TEN THINGS EVERY PERSON ON THIS BOARD SHOULD KNOW
1. Ecstasy is the street name for the drug 3, 4-methlenedioxymethamphetamine. Typical dosage is 80-120 mgs. About 60-80% of drugs sold as ecstasy contain MDMA.
2. It is extremely unlikely that ecstasy would contain heroin or cocaine.
3. Not everyone on this board is a raver or has been to a rave, nor are they American.
4. There are some kick-ass beautiful people on this board. Make friends with them and go visit their city to see how they party!
5. This is a discussion site. Go to a reference site and find the answers to most of your questions before asking the community.
6. You will not get busted just because you post that you have taken drugs.
7. If you just want to dilly dally use Bluelight Chat, don't start dilly dally threads.
8. The pill reports are at pillreports.com
9. There have been a lot of people on this board who are do not fit the archetype of the typical 'raver', myself included. Please don't alienate them, they have rich lives and experiences too.
10. Invariably, the good, loving vibes on BL get disturbed by psychotic individuals or dramatic situations
outside of anyone's control. Ride it out, keep it chill, mellow, and positive.

QUESTIONS
Q. Why do i see the word 'bump' as a response?
A. It is a response for the sake of sending a thread to the top of the pile.
Q. What does it mean to pre-load, post-load?
A. Loading is ingesting vitamins, supplements, chemicals in order to enhance
the MDMA experience, to prevent neurotoxicity, and to ensure a smooth comedown.
Q. Why are the words n-a-r-c and p-e-r-u marked out?
A. Because there was a period of namecalling that ended
up with the damn N word posted all over the board and
got everyone unnecesarily paranoid. The P word is knocked
out because there is a dude from that country who speaks in
a truly psychedelic toungue who is dying to trade his coke for
good e, a no-no on Bluelight.

LITTLE THINGS YOU MAY NOT HAVE KNOWN
1. If you edit your post multiple times, it may show [Edited by ....] more than once. Go down to the bottom of your post while editing and delete those extra lines. Also you may have to hit your refresh button otherwise it might use the cached edit page, meaning you're editing an old copy.
2. If you bump a post, you may wish to delete those bumps after other people post. Reasons: to keep it clean and readable, and so that when people search for your name, they don't get a lot of irrelevant posts.
3. It is refreshing to see people with different signatures every couple of weeks, or something that will eliminate the need for surveys and polls. See this one for example. You don't need to edit your profile to make a new signature, just unclick the box when posting and make a dashed line and type away.
4. If you go to someone's profile, there is a line you can click on that will search all posts by them.
5. The folders on the left of the thread listings are red/pink when they contain new replies since you last visited.
6. If you are loading a multiple-page thread to check the last couple postings, save BL the bandwidth and stop it as soon as it loads, then click on the page number you want.
7. Here's the code to make a signature like mine, replace { with [ -
