I am a huge noob on newgrounds,I've been here for a while but there are still some things I haven't figured out....for example, what is AIM?

(and since I'm already asking these questions)

what does mean when you "double-post"
is it possible to change your username?(I don't, I'm just wondering)
what does ftw mean? (I see it a lot and I don't understand it)
and finally......if you don't have your own website can you still link your page to one?

thanx Phobotech =)

1. When you post twice in a row.
2. Private message Wade.
3. "For the Win"
4. Yes. Some people link it to dumb shit like rick roll and stuff. But you can make your own free, right here.

(and since I'm already asking these questions)

that you post two times consecutively... example:
pinkskull post (and then again)
pinkskull post

is it possible to change your username?(I don't, I'm just wondering)

it used to be.. but not anymore, so NO, it's not possible

what does ftw mean? (I see it a lot and I don't understand it)

For The Win

and finally......if you don't have your own website can you still link your page to one?

well you can, but i dont think you should..........
unless it's your blog or something, but dont link to www.youtube.com or anything like that, since you dont run it.

I really dont think you should post this in General, they're going to eat you alive....

luck

It's shit, don't get one.

Or it says your posting too quickly? That's flood control.

Not anymore.
okay then

I think you can still pm Wade for it.

Maybe you clicked 'post it' twice or something.....

what does ftw mean? (I see it a lot and I don't understand it)
For the win.
wtf?

It's used like 'rules' or something like that
"Hot dogs for the win!"
it would mean that you chose hot dogs cause you think they're the best
Correct me if i'm wrong since i'm not a native english speaker..

Yes.
how?

Where it says 'my account' there are several account options, go to general information...

Like someone said upper, it's only flood control, to prevent you from posting two posts in less than one minute in the same thread. But even if you do wait one minute and post something RIGHT after you posted another thing, it's going to be considered as a double post... Example: you forgot about something and want to add more information or whatever to your last post... "Sorry for the double-post, but..." is usually where you're going to see that.

wtf?

Here's the Urban Dictionary definition:

"For The Win."

An enthusiastic emphasis to the end of a comment, message, or post. Sometimes genuine, but often sarcastic.

Originated from the game show Hollywood Squares where the result of the player's response is expected to win the game.

Bob: Your 1up t-shirt rocks
Sally: 1up t-shirts ftw.

how?

Just go in your General Information of your Acount and enter the URL and the Website's name in the designed areas... ;)
