-# NETIQUETTE
+##Two phrases we use a lot
 
-Coming soon. We should have one, but let's discuss how to link to it.
\ No newline at end of file
+* DON'T HACK THE GIBSON
+* No drama. Be respectful. Have fun. We're all trying, and we're all in this together :)
+
+##Details
+
+First things first, explore and have fun! But remember, this is a single linux server trying to support the weight of several hundred nerds. Don't host servers, don't run heavy processes, don't host giant files. In short, be gentle. 
+
+More about [scripting netiquette here](http://tilde.club/#WHEREISTHIS)
+
+Now let's talk about drama. There is a Mary J. Blige song called "No More Drama." If Mary J. Blige would think it was drama, it is drama. No flamewars about emacs/vi, no matter how historically accurate they may be. No guilting people, shaming them, or making them feel bad. More benefit of the doubt and less "are you kidding me?"

+##~ford's SACRED VOWS to the community
+
+I will do my best to do the following things:
+
+1) I will make a weekly backup of the public_html directories so when
+some teen in Estonia decides to hack in and ruin everything we can
+bring up a new server and limp back to life.
+
+2) I won't shut things down without a month of warning and once it's
+shut down I'll make sure a file with all the public_html directories
+is uploaded to archive.org.
+
+3) If any community forms at all (DUBIOUS BUT SURPRISE ME) I promise I
+won't blow up the community without, like, first pointing everyone to
+some free IRC channel or something.
