Not being aware of the room implies you haven't been paying attention to the pinned post or sticky threads enough.
What are these pinned posts or sticky threads you may ask?
They are those threads that despite an update on any topic within a board, they always stay top, they come with a pin icon and are often locked.
All boards of the foru has one and its always closed to participation or discussion. They are solely informative and introductory posts on the forum and board of interest. The rules are easily set in there for easy accessing but someone, its not always click bate enough.
I think the new that comes with most topics that are yet to be read should they have new contributions on them be added to it. Maybe it could call for some more attention.
