The boards
What the names point at
What are simpcity and simptown?
Simpcity and simptown are adult gooning forums. Members keep shares and discussion in threads you can search later. The live community is simpcity.es. This domain is the journal in front of it.
Is simpcity.boutique the live forum?
No. simpcity.boutique publishes the reading guide, this FAQ, and the journal. The simpcity forum where people post is simpcity.es.
Is simptown a separate community from simpcity?
Searchers use both labels for the same style of boards. Save simpcity.es and you will not have to guess which name is current this month.
What does “gooning forum” mean here?
A gooning forum here means an adult board organized as threads, not a chat that disappears. Simpcity and simptown keep those threads titled and searchable.
Who is allowed to join?
Adults 18 and older only. If you are under 18, leave and do not register.

How do I finish simpcity register?
Open simpcity register on simpcity.es. Choose a username, use an inbox you check, set a password you do not reuse, accept the rules, then open the confirmation link before you try to log in.
The confirmation email has not arrived
Wait a few minutes. Check spam and promotions. Use resend once. Do not create a second account. The same order is written out in the register checklist.
Can I read without registering?
Yes, on this journal. Starting a thread, replying, watching, and private messages need a completed simpcity register on the live site.
Login keeps failing
Recheck the username, then reset the password on simpcity.es. If the account was never confirmed, finish that email first.
Should I reuse a password from somewhere else?
No. The forum password should exist only there. Write the new one down in the same private note as your username and the live URL.

Mirrors and downtime
What is the simpcity alternative right now?
simpcity.es is the simpcity alternative when an older domain fails. Open simptown, simpcity, and register from that address.
A friend sent a different link. Should I use it?
Only if the host matches the bookmark you saved for simpcity.es. When you are unsure, start from this FAQ and follow the link here.
The site looks down. What do I check first?
Connection, then another browser, then the URL itself. More detail is in the downtime note.
Where do I land after I join?
After login at simpcity.es, open Forums and pick a room. The room index is a preview. The threads are live on simpcity.es.
First days
After the account exists
What should a new member do first?
Read a pin, search the question, set a short profile, then reply somewhere you can add a detail. Bookmark simpcity.es. The first-week section of the guide spells the week out.
How do I avoid a duplicate thread?
Search two or three specific words before you open a new topic. If an older thread already covers it, reply there.
What belongs on a public profile?
An avatar that is not your face from another account, and one line about how you use the boards. Leave off a city, a workplace, and a legal name. The profile note goes further.
Is there a journal with longer notes?
Yes. The journal covers the working link, the two names, profiles, register, downtime, etiquette, and a short private checklist.
