All salute submissions are reviewed by Fubar Bouncers & each image is checked thoroughly before it is either accepted or rejected. I have posted some images of Acceptable Salutes as well as some that were Rejected because the submission did not follow the salute guidelines. To find out more about adding a salute to your profile check out the blog titled (How To) Submit Salutes.
Leveling & Points Leveling: Everyone who joins Fubar begins as a Level 0 (Freshmeat) & can aquire more levels by gaining Points (which will be discussed briefly below). While Fubar is a free website there is many more benefits (ie. Happy Hours, Blasts, VIP Program etc..) to being a member of the Fubar Community. Each time you gain another level it becomes more challenging (especially when a member begins on Level 20 (Rock Star), but once a member reaches a certain level (usually level 30) that member is required to have at least one salute on their profile). Points: Points can be attained by doing various different things on Fubar (ie. Rating, Commenting etc..). With each action it may have a point behind it and each point will help a member acquire the next level on their profile. Along with points a member will also get an item known as FuBucks which will help them buy certain items around the site as well as buy items in the Fubar Gift Shop. There will be at times Fubar Promotions that will give the member an ability to gain more points to help them level faster, but as mentioned above with each level it gets more and more challenging. I am not going to go to much with this section because there is alot to talk about, but if you'd like to know more about gaining points and fubucks check out my blog titled (How To) Gain Points & FuBucks. Checking Into Lounges One of the best things to do on Fubar is check into a lounge where there will be many different people that you can interact with. Being in a lounge is more or less like being in a small community, whereas most of the staff in a lounge act as a family helping each other to level & acquire more points or FuBucks. There is differences in lounges (being different coding styles, as well as different rules and different atmospheres). It is up to you to decide which lounge you want to be apart of or if you so want at Level 10 (Friend Of Fubar) or when you can acquire $100,000 FuBucks you can create your own lounge and run it the way you want to run it. If you choose this option there is a list of Voluntary Coders that will help you make your lake look the way you want it to look like, but they may be in lounges of their own so they can't really teach you the ways on how to run a lounge. It is recommended that any new member work in a lounge before you create one From Your Homepage Locate The Main Menu When The Page Loads A List Of Fubars Hottest Lounges Will Appear From this page you can choose which lounge you want to subscribe to and become a part of their family (Due To Limitations of this blog I cannot show you how to create your very own lounge) Checking Out Fumafia fuMafia is one of Fubars most famous Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game that lets members shoot, prod and kill others in a game style setting. Each member is allowed up to 3 players (more can be purchased). With each player a member can Do Mission, Join A Turf(like a lounge), Attack A Member and Hitlist any member they choose. To better find out what fuMafia is all about the best place to begin is to check out the fuMafia Guide or you can ask a question in the Mafia Forums and the other thing you can do is ask a Mafia Bouncer (Mafia Bouncers will have Mafia in their username). To either get started playing fuMafia or to get into fuMafia follow what is below. From Your Homepage Locate The Main Menu If You Have Not Created A Mafia Player Yet Read The Blog Titled (How To) Setup fuMafia If You Have Created A Mafia Player The Page Will Load To Your Mafia Homepage From This Page You Can Do What You Usually Do While Your Playing fuMafia. (Due To Limitations of this blog I cannot show you to much about the mafia world) If you have any further questions about this or any topics based on Getting Started |
