[Slestak]

Hey guys! Welcome to Five-Hole.com, a.k.a. The Fiver! The release of NHL 09 and the establishment of our EASHL club, Five Hole The Team, has brought in an influx of new hockey nuts as well as some legends from the past.

I know that jumping feet-first into an established community can be daunting for some folks, so I have assembled a Five-Hole primer of sorts, just to help you find your way around and perhaps answer any questions you might have about our little corner of the web.

==============================================================

THE FORUMS

Five-Hole: The Team [EASHL] is THE place for news and discussion about our club, whether you want to organize a practice or bitch about our uniforms. If you haven't done so yet, please post your player's details in this thread so your teammates can get to know you a little better: http://five-hole.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5771

Feedback about the site is welcomed and greatly appreciated. You can leave your comments and questions here: http://five-hole.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=2


Video Games is primarily focused on Xbox 360 gaming, though a lot of us play games on other platforms as well. If you picked up Rock Band 2, we're having a discussion in this thread: http://five-hole.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5692


Sports Games was split off from the Video Games forum because hockey discussion was burying talk about other types of games. Check out our big fat NHL 09 discussion in this thread: http://five-hole.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5642


The Media Room is our forum for discussion of music, movies, and TV shows. Discuss the upcoming fall TV season in this thread: http://five-hole.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5757


Sports -- do I really need to explain what this forum is about? An annual highlight is Yoko Ono's Official Red Wings Hating Thread, which should be starting up again any day now. Until then, comment on the 2008 NFL season in this thread: http://five-hole.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5788


Tech Heck is our forum for discussion of computers, electronics, and all sorts of gadgets. Tell us your thoughts on Google Chrome in this thread: http://five-hole.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5749


Random Dribblings is dedicated to general discussion that doesn't really fit in other forums, and is mostly dedicated to the offbeat and humorous. A perfect example is the "WTF?" thread: http://five-hole.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5729
