Hey there, and welcome to the Rival Gaming community! We're genuinely so glad you decided to join us.
Just a quick heads-up on getting started: after you verify your email, we do a little manual activation. It usually only takes a few seconds but if we're super busy, it might be a bit longer. Once that email comes through, you're officially in!
Don't know where to begin? No big deal! You can always pop into this thread and introduce yourself. Tell us a little about the games you love and what brought you here. Or, if you'd rather, just dive right into the conversations happening around the site. We're a friendly bunch.
Making it Your Own
Want to make your profile stand out? The best way is to add an awesome avatar and cover image through your Account Details. It's a great way to show off your style and make your mark on the forum.
The Important Stuff
We don't have a million rules, but the single best thing you can do is take a quick look at our General Guide. It's the key to making sure everything runs smoothly for everyone.
Just so you know, there are a couple of small restrictions for new accounts. For instance, you can't create your own threads until you've been here for a month and have 100 posts. It's just to keep things from getting messy while you get the hang of things.
