Point System:
I would also like to explain a few things:
The "Gutterness" thing is a point system for FUN, not a contest or anything. Here's how you can 'level' up:
Posting in a normal thread: 1 points
Creating a normal subject: 3 points
Creating a subject in the art area: 20 points
Posting in the art area: 10 points
Posting/creating a topic in the calender: 10-20 points
There's also a little point system to say you liked a users post. Click the little + and - signs on the right (they're small, so pay attention) to vote/give reese's/give points. A green bar will appear afterwards. DO NOT post whore in the general area to get points, unless you're doing the guessing game.

Calender: No rules, but there's some info to post a date to the calender.
"When you are creating a new topic, you will have "Calendar Options" under the post screen - this does not work if you reply to a post. There you can chooses the date and the time of the calendar event as well as the duration."
In the thread that contains the comment that you made on the calender can be commented on by others -- if you don't want it to be like that, lemme know or a mod cos then I'll lock it and shiz. Yeah, I like saying shiz.
