๐ Relevant Posts Only
Keep it related to Monster Hunter. Plain and simple. If it's questionable, be ready to back it up.
๐ Respect Your Fellow Hunters
Greenhorns or oldhats, we all start somewhere in the series. Everyone is welcome.
No racism, bigotry, flaming, trolling, or any other behavior unbecoming of a guild hunter. We're here to play and discuss Monster Hunter with like-minded folks, act like it.
No "game shaming": This isn't a place for title vs title arguments. Take that to steam forums or elsewhere. Compare/contrast mechanics between games, discuss what worked or didn't and how. Devolving into flame wars of "MHX sucks, gib more MHY" will not be tolerated.
No "off-meta" shaming: having fun playing the game is the meta. Discuss strats, builds, and give suggestions, but that's all they are, suggestions.
๐ Original Art Only
No AI art: too easy to spam, too low effort.
Attribute original artists with links, watermarks, and mentions where available. If you don't know the source, say so.
If an internet sleuth finds a poster cribbing others' art as their own, that's a bannable offense.

In 2007ish, I used to go to the library in Mallorca to get a Wifi connection on my PSP and download demos. I downloaded this interesting-looking demo of a new game called Monster Hunter Freedom Unite. The download corrupted on me, and my brother was the first to play it; I managed later via hospital Wifi. It was so difficult and I always lost the mission, so I thought it was impossible. But I loved the game, and went on to buy it from PSN. I was convinced it was cursed/evil for a while due to the Diablos and dual blades. I later bought a friend MHTri for his birthday in 2013ish, and when I learned how to hack my PSP around the same time, I was very impressed by MHP3rd.
P3rd was magical in a way. From the special feeling of having to patch it with broken fan translations to the setting and graphics upgrade, to the majestic first appearance of the now iconic lightning boi. Glad the curse found you, enjoy being one of the damned.
