If you want to read it in the actual thread, you can do that too:

And if you're too lazy or too busy, I'll post some of it right below.
"Hey, guys. You've been asking for this guide for awhile now. Well, here it is! This guide will tell you everything there is to know about OT. So let's get started!"
"I'd like to start off with a list of common words used by OTers."
"You say this often: "OTer." It means that you're part of the community and/or you identify yourself as an OTer. Another word you might hear is "OTism," which is a fancy way of saying "being an OTer."
"Another thing you'll see a lot of: "b8ing." B8ing is basically trying to troll people into thinking you're something you're not. Most common b8ers are either trolls, or people trying to be funny. If someone tells you to stop b8ing, take them seriously."
"The next word you'll learn is "legit." Legit means true, genuine, or real. It can also mean cool or awesome."
"A very important rule in OT: no matter how stupid or annoying the situation is, never kill anyone. If someone is doing something dumb, report it or make fun of it. Killing someone will just cause more problems than it fixes."
"You may have heard the term "f5ing." F5ing is basically spamming a forum post with your own name or some other word. I don't know why, but it's against the rules."
"That about covers basic words. Now let's get on to the rules."
"There are two kinds of rules here in OT: rules that aren't really rules, and rules that are actually rules. I'll talk about both in this guide. Here we go!"
"1: No flaming or trolling. This one is pretty obvious. Nobody wants to see it here. If someone flames you, report it, but don't respond back. If someone trolls you, ignore it."
"2: Don't post offsite links. Offsite links include YouTube videos, Twitter updates, and Facebook walls."
"3: Don't be rude. Just...don't. It's not funny."
"4: No spamming. Spamming is basically just posting stuff that doesn't belong here. You can also get in trouble for bumping a thread every five seconds."
"5: Don't talk about religion or politics. This rule isn't really necessary anymore, because people don't do it as much now, but if somebody does bring up religion or politics, ignore them. They probably won't go away, so you're better off ignoring them."
"6: No personal attacks. A personal attack is when you post something on an OTer that makes fun of them in a mean way. Don't do this."
"There you have it. All the rules you need to know in OT. Now let's move on to some tips and tricks!"
"Now that I've told you everything you need to know about OT, I'll give you a few tips and tricks to help you out."
"First tip: There are several subforums you might want to check out from time to time. Here's a list:"
"OT Talk - The most popular forum in OT. People tend to hang out there because it's where all the cool kids are."
"Off Topic Games - A forum dedicated to playing games with other OTers. Not exactly a subforum, but you should definitely check it out."
"Music - Where all the music lovers hang out. They love talking about bands, posting song lyrics, and talking about what they listen to."
"Movies/TV/Books - Like Music, they just talk about movies, TV shows, and books. There aren't a lot of people here, so don't expect a big crowd."
"Role-Playing - A place for you to make up stories or fantasy worlds. This is also a very unpopular subforum, so be aware of that."

I think this thread deserves its own sub-forum.
