Kwipster is a community of funny people...and the unfunny people who love them. More specifically, it's a website that gives the wittiest among us a central arena to share their funny comments on the latest news -- and the rest of us something to make the workday suck less.

We went with the phonetical "kw" because the "qu" spelling was taken. By a skwatter. See what we did there? Plus words starting with 'k' are supposedly the funniest.

In short, the 'beta' signifies that Kwipster is a new service, and while we believe we've identified and fixed all of the significant bugs and errors within the site, there may still be some issues that can affect your use of it. We encourage you to notify us of any problems you find by clicking on the Feedback button in the navigation bar.

If you are in any way uncomfortable with using a site that may contain bugs and errors, you should not use Kwipster during its beta release (or the internet at all, for that matter). And please remember that even after the beta period, there may still be bugs and errors on the site, and your use of the site will continue to be subject to our Terms of Use.

First, make sure it's not your fault. Second, make sure it's not your fault. Then, if in good conscience you can confidently pin the blame upon us, send us a note here. And please include the following pieces of information with your submission:

1. the action you were trying to attempt
2. a description of the error that occurred
3. the operating system you were using (e.g., Windows 7, Mac OSX, Atari 400)
4. the browser type and version you were using (e.g., Internet Explorer 8.0, Firefox 4.0, hopefully not Netscape Navigator)
5. any other information you think would be helpful

All of the areas within the Kwipster site where you may access or update your personal information are guarded by pixel-sized ninjas -- or protected by Transport Layer Security (TLS) technology -- whichever sounds safer to you. For more info on how we tirelessly toil to safeguard your personal data, see our Privacy Policy.

Don't worry, you're not that interesting. We don't share any of your personal information with any third parties other than those who perform specific support services for Kwipster (e.g., web development, hosting, email delivery). And each of these service providers is contractually obligated to keep your personal information absolutely private.

The only information about you that other parties may see is that which you post yourself, either on your Profile Page or elsewhere on the site. For your own privacy and security, we recommend that you don't post any sensitive personal information (such as your email address, physical address, phone number, etc.) on your profile, within your username, or in any of your kwips or replies on the site.

An Invite Code is required because we're currently only accepting members we've directly invited to join or who have requested to join and have provided us with good examples of their comic chops. If you'd like to join Kwipster, please send us a link to your website, blog, Twitter feed, or anything else that shows your wit at work. Or if you've actually read this far, you deserve an invite just for your attention span. Use invite code: ICANREAD2

Panic. Then check the spam or junk folder within your email service. There's a chance the message got dumped there by your ISP. If not, repeat panic. Or just click here to have another one sent.

Pat yourself on the back. It's a good sign that you're not using the same password for all of your various internet accounts. Then reset your password here.

Because brevity is....

Indeed there are. In addition to the site's Terms of Use, please familiarize yourself with our Rules and make a habit of not running afoul of any of them.

Do we ever. We've put together a big fat Tips and Tricks guide to help our Kwipsters learn tons of techniques for crafting jokes, with hilarious examples from all the best comics. Access it here or at any time in the navigation bar of the site.

If you posted a kwip or reply, saw it go up on the site, then later disappear, it's almost certainly because it was repeatedly flagged by other users as a violation of our Rules or Terms of Use. If you feel your post was removed in error, you're kinda outta luck. But if this happens to you more than a couple times, please let us know here and we'll look into it for you.

By an algorithm so complex it's rivaled only by Amazon's ability to predict that every single user will be interested in seeing a full-page Kindle ad on their home page every single day of the year...or until they buy one. To see how it works, click here.

Nope. But we may start rewarding or recognizing our top contributors in some way in the future, so warm your fuzzy with that possibility for the time being.

Sounds like somebody's embarrassed about their low score.... There are two ways you can hide your profile. You can choose the 'private' option next to 'Display Profile' on your Account Page, which makes your profile invisible to everyone except you. Alternatively, you can close your account, which you may do on the same page. But keep in mind that closing your account is a permanent, irreversible action, and all content you've ever posted to the site will be removed.

Either you've generated too many reports of abuse or our state-of-the-art douche detector inappropriately flagged you. In either case, you must contact us here to have your account reviewed and potentially reactivated. If you don't contact us, your account will remain suspended indefinitely.

You may update your account settings (including your email address and password) at any time on your Account Page. Please note, however, that if you update your email address, you will be required to prove that you are the owner of the new email address (by having it tattooed on your taint) before this change can be made.

You may close your account at any time by clicking on the 'Close Account' link on your Account Page and following the simple steps provided. If you're too lazy for that, you can just stop logging in and eventually just forget you even had an account. Assuming you choose the former, please note that closing your account is irreversible and you will permanently lose all access to your account if you choose to close it.

Impersonate them back, so they see how it feels. Okay, don't do that. Just tell us about it here and we'll look into it.

Short of picketing your ISP, there are a couple actions you can take within your email service to help prevent this. If you see any Kwipster emails within your spam or junk folders, look for a "not spam" or "not junk" button and click on it a few hundred times. And add the following email address to your address book or safe sender list: mail@kwipster.com. [Note: don't try to send mail to this address, unless you're super lonely and feel like talking to our auto-reply.]

While we may question the wisdom of your decision, we certainly respect it. You have full control over the types of emails you receive from Kwipster. You can manage your email settings on your Account Page (login required) or by clicking on the 'Email Preferences' or 'Unsubscribe' link in any of the promotional emails you received from us. Please note, however, that we may still need to email you for official site matters, to fulfill certain actions or transactions you request, or as otherwise legally required. For more information on this, please see our Privacy Policy.

That's not really a question, but we get what you're going for. We haven't created a mobile site or any mobile apps for Kwipster yet but hope to build both in the near future. In the meantime, keep using the box you get your porn from.

If by some inconceivable chance you aren't able to find your answer above, you may send us a message here and we'll get back to you as soon as possible. But be warned: if it turns out your answer was on this page, our reply to you may be delayed, purely out of spite.
