Sometimes it can be hard to tell whether a topic is better to post in this section or in your blog. Before posting a thread, ask yourself these questions:

- Is the topic only relevant for a certain amount of time? (eg. a survey for a school project that's due on Friday)
- Is the topic meant to generate interest in a site, fanfic, etc. of mine or of an associate?
If the answer is ‘yes’ to the following question:

OtB has three subforums:
- Support and Advice
Here we provide a place where you can request for help on topics varying from love, bullying, and much more. Please be careful regarding what to post and what to accept as advice. - Post Count++
Topics that are lax on discussion and have ever-changing answers. A great place for new members to quickly up their post counts. - Outside the Box Archive
A subforum that houses all of the older threads of the section. No posting is allowed in here, but give it a look over. You may find a topic you could revive and start the discussion over again with the input of newer members.
