Now, it's usually customary for journal blogs to tag a "Tagging Guide" post with every single tag, but this makes the post come up a million times and it's easier to just post it with one tag then link to it on the sidebar smh
Anyway, here is a list of tags and descriptions of each. Don't post anything untagged. You can also go here to see links/a list of how much each tag has been used
*intro
If you're new, use this tag when you make your first post and tell us about yourself [or not, it's not required]. The * is included in the tag, it keeps it at the top of the list because intros are an important part of our community.
advertising
Link us to your site! Or someone else's site. Or a community, forum, blog, etc. Show us what you put on the internet, damn it!
dark network
What the FUCK did you find on the internet? Share web oddities, curiosities, and morbidities with this tag.
discussion
Tag to use for semi-serious to pretty-serious discussion regardless of subject matter. That's what the canon/topic tags at the end are for
forums
Advertise or talk about forums with this tag.
godot's coffee house
These are all NSFW entries, originally named after the original "Godot's Coffee House", the name of MysticWish.net's "hot coffee mod" -- a section for lewd postings, basically. Look we used to have more money than we do now, times change
img: art
What the fuck are you drawing?
img: icons
Post 100x100 userpic images you made.

Did you make a wallpaper, gif, or something else? Use this tag, or type in "img: " and whatever you made to create a new tag, idgaf
img: selfie
Tag all your entries into the selfie olympics here
jcink: avatars
May overlap with [img: icons] when they're the same size as IJ icons, but this category is specifically for forum avatars, which can vary widely in pixel size.
jcink: codes
Any type of coding you can use on a Jcink forum, such as HTML templates.
jcink: graphics
Forum graphics that aren't sigs or avatars. Banners, forum markers, buttons, etc.
jcink: sigs
Cute tags, blinkies, or photoshop edits to put in your signature. It's all free to use but make sure the images follow the sig rules of whatever forum you're using them on.
jcink: skins
Every skin I use on my jcink forums is my original work. Sometimes I'm willing to share it with anyone that would like it.

Jcink is a free forum host. I use it a lot and I'm very familiar with it, having used it since 2011. It's also super familiar to me because it's similar to Invisionfree, the now-gone forum host that I originally hosted Mystic Wish on before moving it to Jcink.

📁comm files
Modposts with rules, announcements, and other information. 📁 is inserted for alphabetical ordering, include that when adding this tag
🔼canon:
Insert a canon name or shorthand at the end, here. Be careful with acronyms and try to use a single word if possible -- "zelda" for Legend of Zelda instead of "loz". As with other symboled tags, make sure you don't forget the 🔼 at the beginning, so our big list of canons is at the bottom of the alphabetized tag list.
🔼original work
Predictably, this is for original works. Art & stuff with OCs.
