What is Nintendorks Island all about?
Nintendorks Island is for people who love video games of all genres (Sims and Super Mario to name a couple) and who like a friendly, non-confrontational forum for random chat. We strive to keep things fun and enjoyable while promoting an atmosphere of camaraderie and learning. Many of us create for The Sims 2 and 3, and we promote sharing of techniques and community learning. Many of us also enjoy video games and play them often. However, some of our members simply just like talking, and we promote that too

Do you have a Live Chat?
Yes, we do. There is a yellow button in the navbar below the main site logo for live chat. From there, there are two chats you can choose from: live text chat and Flockdraw whiteboard chat. The live chat is hosted by Freenode, and requires Java. The channel (#nintendorks) is staffed by Operators, who have a "@" beside their name. Obey the people if they ask you to do something. If you are rude or obnoxious you may be kicked or banned, however we do believe chat should be fun, and we do not require censoring here. The Flockdraw whiteboard chat is essentially a whiteboard that anyone can draw on at the same time as anyone else on the same channel. We have a private channel, so the people you see on the whiteboard should be only our users.

What is the "QDB"?
QDB is an acronym for Quote DataBase. It is a place where users can see funny quotes from out chatbox. If you have a quote you would like to submit, please PM it to Pearbot Da' Meachy, and we'll take it from there. It will appear under the month that you submitted it.

What are the non-staff groups?
Veterans : These members are veterans of the now-closed Nintendorks social group at www.modthesims.com. They are users who followed Nintendorks to its new home, Nintendorks Island.

Island Helpers : These are site bots that perform certain functions around the site.

VIPs : These are semi-staff, members of the staff circle who lack moderation powers, that aid in guiding the site and determining what needs to be done. As the site grows, new VIPs are added, and the new VIPs are nominated and voted upon by current VIPs.
