Yaoi

Yaoi is a popular term for female-oriented fictional media that focus on homoerotic or homoromantic male relationships, usually created by female authors. Originally referring to a specific type of dōjinshi parody of mainstream anime and manga works, yaoi came to be used as a generic term for female-oriented manga, anime, dating sims, novels and dōjinshi featuring homosexual male relationships.

Yaoi began in the dōjinshi markets of Japan in the late 1970s/early 1980s as an outgrowth of shonen-ai. BL (Boys Love, another term for yaoi) creators and fans are careful to distinguish the genre from “gay manga,” which are created by and for gay men.

The main characters in BL usually conform to the formula of the seme who pursues the uke.

Yaoi is what keeps fans going.

Administrator

The person who is the man and the woman of the forum or site. They can do anything, use the ban hammer on members if necessary, is a global moderator, and even edit user profiles, and much, much more. Sometimes, with money, you can do a lot of other things, like buy to turn off ads, etc.

Administrators have all the power, but, if you are an admin, please do not abuse your power, especially when using the ban hammer.

Newbie

Not to be confused by noob, a newbie is a newcomer to anything. Newbies can spell, but they lack in what's new to them. Noobs and newbies are kinda opposites, in a way. Plus, newbies are usually more respectful than noobs.

Newbie: Um, excuse me, TehPro...?

TehPro: Yes?

Newbie: Do you know how to move in this game?

TehPro: Yes, the W, A, S, D keys.

Newbie: Thank you.

TehPro: No problem.

Fire Emblem

A series of strategy video games often with characters who have jobs. There is often one Lord, and if that Lord dies, then it's game over. If anyone else dies, you can restart the game or continue on, but it's best to have a large army IMHO. The current (from the first one to Brawl) Fire Emblem characters which are in the games are Roy, Marth, and Ike. The Assist Trophies that has a Fire Emblem character is only Lyn.

God dammit! I can't get Joshua in Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones! So hard...

Oha-Lucky

It's used in the anime Lucky Star. Oha-lucky just means Hiya Lucky! translated into English. It is used only by Akira Kogami, the fourteen-year-old diva. It is used only in the ending segment, Lucky Channel.

Oha-lucky is my favorite quotation from Akira Kogami.

Forum

It's usually used with a forum host, with a ridiculously long URL. Forums are used to post messages, but these days are used for support rather than entertainment. Moderators and Administrators usually moderate the forum and even use their ban hammers if necessary.

Forum administrators/moderators usually use their ban hammers too early in terms of infringing the law.

Invisionfree

The second best forum host the Zathyus Network has created, it is founded in September 2002 by Brandon Kopetzky. It is often shortened to IF. According to its terms of service, InvisionFree does not restrict forums on the basis of post, topic, or member number, nor bandwidth, nor will forums be deleted for inactivity. Google AdSense is the site’s main source of revenue; however, users may pay InvisionFree to remove ads from their site, or to make more space available for file uploads. InvisionFree boards are subject to several limitations, though; among them are the inability of the administrator to access the MySQL database directly or to access the board's filesystem via FTP. If you know advanced HTML, you can create custom skins for your forum. You can convert from Zetaboards if you haven't already.

Invisionfree is an awesome forum software, but I recommend you convert to Zetaboards.
