    Guide To Become a HQ Member
    • So what is HQ? HQ means High Quality, to be a HQ member you should learn to do the following.
      
      • Write with exceptional grammar
        
      • Respect staff & other members
        
      • Patience
        
      • Maturity
        
      If you learn to do those you will be considered as a HQ member. You can also be HQ if you contribute to the forum by posting HQ content, doing giveaways, donating, upgrading, etc. You don't have to do all that things, I just want you to know how to be a HQ member and not get in trouble.
