How to use the Chao Island Contributions forum.

This forum is now locked! Thank you for all your contributions. A new Wiki system for future contributions is being worked on.

(A forum for those who are able to contribute information for the main website, and help the website become the #1 source for Chao!)
Warning! This topic is 9 years and 4 months old! Please consider opening a new topic rather that bumping up this very old post.

How to use the Chao Island Contributions forum.

Post by Fusion »

Greetings.

This board has been here for a while, but has been locked. Today I am unlocking it for you all to contribute your information and research!

The point of this forum is for us to work as a community to put together accurate, in-depth information about the Chao systems of the various Sonic games. Information posted here, once proved correct, will be added to the main website. This means that the information will be much easier to find and refer to, and it'll be a great help to the newcomers that don't know as much.

Here are some guidelines for you to follow when using this new forum:
  1. Check if a thread already exists for your topic before starting a new thread.
    For example, if you want to post an exciting new discovery about how Chaos Chao are created, check if there is a thread for Chaos Chao information first.
  2. Be sure to mention which game your information applies to.
    The different Sonic games have different Chao systems. Therefore, in order for us to have accurate information on the website, we need to know which game you're talking about. Some examples of how you might title your thread are "[SADX] Chaos Chao requirements" or "[SA & SA2] How breeding affects the resulting colour".

    Mooncow Edit: Topic Title Tags, this makes it easier to see what you're referring to, and also for search purposes.
    JmTsHaW: Added title tags for Chao Adventure.
    [SA] Sonic Adventure Dreamcast
    [SA2] Sonic Adventure 2 Dreamcast
    [SA2B] Sonic Adventure 2 Battle Gamecube
    [SADX] Sonic Adventure DX Gamecube / PC
    [SAdv] Sonic Advance GBA
    [CA] Chao Adventure VMU
    [CA2] Chao Adventure 2 VMU
  3. Only state your information as fact if you can prove it.
    If you only have a theory and no evidence, then say that. It's okay to post a thread about something you're currently researching, but make sure that you don't claim anything you can't prove. As a community, we can work together to try to prove or disprove it. Only post if you have a good reason for your theory, though. We don't want any nonsense here.
  4. Spotted a mistake on the main website? Let us know!
    If you've found any completely false Chao information on the website, you can start a thread about it. Give us the correct information, or just start the thread so that somebody else can.
Thank you very much for reading, and for helping us to improve Chao Island!

Wait does this mean that the SADX and Sonic Advance sections will open?

Can my Chao FAQ thread count as a retroactive contribution to SA2/SA2:B? I was going to contribute it, but I didn't see the need to copy/paste it.

Yeah, any guide that's already posted in Chao Help and Support is probably best off just being left there. As long as we know about them, we can still use the information for the main website changes, which I have already begun.

I have a question, are we allowed to contribute images aswell? I have a good set of images from Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure: Director's Cut.

I'd say so, JmT. Contributing is contributing, no matter what it is.

Yes, you can still contribute images, just like Crazo said. However, they should of course be useful ones, and preferably of a high quality (meaning high resolution and anti-aliasing). It depends what they're for though.

Why do we need pictures of Shiny Chao? They look exactly like their Non-Shiny form, just Shiny.

Do you think it'd be necessary to do some for the Tiny Chao Garden?

How are you able to find if a thread already states what you were going to put on :thinking:

That is a good question. Unfortunately, there is no surefire way of making sure something like what you want to post hasn't already been discussed. However, to at least do some preliminary checking, I would suggest going to the "Search" option, in the upper right hand corner of Chao Island pages, near you username and Control Panel links, and searching for some broad terms that may be related to what you are thinking about posting.

Alternatively, just post it, and if the moderation feels it should be condensed with another, existing thread, we will fix it.
