Yes, BBCode and Img tags work the same way here as they do at Skeetendo. We also some extra tags you can use that Skeetendo doesn't. Like the "center" tag that lets you center text on the screen, the "Spoiler" tag that lets you hide information inside a collapsible box to avoid spoilers for people who don't want them (or more commonly just to collapse different sections inside the thread for a hack). You can also use img tags in your signature here, which you couldn't do at Skeetendo because IIMarckus thinks sigpics are unnecessary and distracting.

Also, as you've noticed, we have a private message system and a visitor message system that Skeetendo doesn't have. So there is no need to post a thread saying "hey [username] I have a question" (those kind of threads are pointless and clutter up the forum. You haven't done it yet, but I know you guys seem to do it on Skeetendo so thought I would pass it on.) but you can just send them a message here. Sure skeetendo has it linked to email, but nobody checks their email regularly and it is a really stupid system to use for forum communication. So yeah, its a lot easier to send people personal messages and for them to actually seem them and respond to them without cluttering up the forum. That's also why I switched to sending this via visitor message instead of posting in the thread, since it would get off-topic.
