About ZUG
How It Works

All ZUG features start out life on our comedy message board, which is based on a simple premise: survival of the funniest. The most popular conversations and articles move to the top of the list, while older ones get pushed down and eventually drop off the list altogether (though you can find them again using our search engine). Each month, the three funniest articles get put into our ZUG Classics section, and a lucky few get turned into their own permanent features.


Registering

By registering your username, you will not only establish a ZUG personality for yourself, but you will automatically be entered into ZUG Rankings, our constantly-updated list of the funniest and most prolific ZUG personalities (see below).

Registered users also get lots of extra goodies, like the option to view user icons and rate other users.


Rankings

Once you've registered, you will automatically be entered into our constantly-updated list of The World's Funniest People. There are two types of rankings.

  • Top Posters is a quantity ranking, based on the number of times you contribute to conversations. You receive points for every contribution you make.

  • Funniest This Month is a quality ranking, based on feedback from fellow ZUG users. Whenever you contribute to a conversation, users can rate you from 1 to 5 Orbs of Hilarity:

    funny! 1 Orb of Hilarity = Amusing
    funny! 2 Orbs of Hilarity = Chuckleworthy
    funny! 3 Orbs of Hilarity = Funny
    funny! 4 Orbs of Hilarity = Hilarious
    funny! 5 Orbs of Hilarity = Side-splitting

Swearing

We block out swears using our patented Swearbottm, which turns naughty words into famous poets. We think it lends a touch of class.

Poet Stands for
Frost to copulate
Emerson an anal opening
Shakespeare fecal matter
Coleridge the male sexual organ
Carroll the female sexual organ
Poe another term for the female sexual organ
Blake rude person; female dog
Yeats Breasts
Ogden Nash a racial epithet

Now, don't you feel a lot more cultured, you son of a Blake?

Registered users may choose other Swearbottm themes, including "toddler words" and "jazz phrases."


Supported tags

If you're familiar with HTML, ZUG supports:

  • <b>bold</b>
  • <i>italic</i>
  • <u>underline</u>
  • <strike>strike</strike>
  • <a href="http://www.zug.com/">hyperlinks</a>
  • The <action></action> tag will make it appear that you are "doing" rather than "saying." (Not an HTML tag, but special for us.)

Abuse

As much as possible, we maintain a "hands-off" policy. However, we reserve the right to ban anyone, at any time, for any reason. Use your common sense, and don't be a weenie. Your free speech ends at the next person's nose.

You may report abuse by clicking the offending user's name, then by clicking "report abuse." We will review your report and make a decision (sorry, we cannot guarantee a reply).
