Here are some FAQ's (Frequently Asked Questions) that may be of help to you. If you are new here, reading these will help you with a bunch of stuff that I know your thinking  So please read them before asking a staff member or posting in the Remembrall.
Q. Where are the rules?
A. The rules are located here
Q. Where can I get sorted?
A. There is a board called applications which is where you will be sorted after completing the specified application.
Q. It's password protected! Where can I find the password?
A. As said in the description of the board, you can find the password to the sorting hat in the rules. The password is hidden in there somewhere, forcing you to read the rules. This is to help you enjoy your stay at Magical Purpose
Q. Who are the administrators of the board?
A. The current administrators of Magical Purpose are Headmaster Marco Britfo, Headmistress Esmerelda Cifuentes, Becky Greene, and The Sorting Hat.
Q. Why are some names in italics?
A. The italicized names means that those people are either prefects or head of houses on Magical Purpose.
Q. Why can't I post? The reply button isn't letting me do it
A. You must post at least 300 characters in order for it to let you post. This is to prevent people from posting only one or two lines.
Q. I need a graphic made. Can I someone on the board do it for me?
A. Absolutely, we have a whole board full of people wanting to help. Once your sorted, you'll be able to see the Graphics board where you can go and request a graphic from our talented graphic makers. (Remember to post in the Celebrity Claim!)
Q. How can I get a custom title?
A. Just ask for one by PMing an admin.
Q. How can I move up a year?
A. As each term passes, you will move up a year. The more active you are, the better the chance you move up.
Q. How long is term?
A. Term usually lasts for about three months.
Q. How do I sign up for classes?
A. You can sign up for classes by going to one of the classroom boards and replying in the sign up thread the professor has created. If there is not a sign up sheet in there, it usually means the professor has not yet been hired for that class. If term is already in session and you just joined, you can still sign up for classes and you can just post in the next class.
Q. How do I get house points?
A. You can get house points in a variety of ways. You get 50 points everytime you advertise for Magical Purpose somewhere or affiliate with Magical Purpose and you also get 50 points everytime you bring someone to the site. Good deeds earn you house points and bad actions make you lose house points.
Q. Can I have more than one character?
A. Yes you can, as long as you'd be active with your old and new one, and have a separate account for each character.
Q. How do I get an image in my signature?
A. You take your pictures URL (by right clicking it>Properties) then paste it in between these -> [IMG][/IMG]
Q. How do I change the skin? Not that the default one is bad or anything...:P
A. Go to your profile and scroll down to where you see the drop down box beside the words "Select Skin." Then choose which one you want.
Q. How can I change my display name?
A. You can change your display name by going to your profile and modifying your name where it says "Display Name".
Q. How can I become a staff member?
A. If you would like to be a teacher assistant or professor, you can become one by applying in the appropriate thread in the Hogwarts Annoucements board (your character cannot be sorted). If your thinking more of prefect or head of house, you must be very active because those are picked by the admins
Q. Do I have to buy stuff at Diagon Alley?
A. No, it's totally optional to do so.

A. OOC means Out Of Character (just like IC means In Character)

If after all this you still have a question, please post it in the Remembrall.
Don't you dare PM it to us, the admins of the boards, or we will be sooo mad at you forever. We have better things to do than answer your stupid PMs, you know....
Please, don't hesitate to ask our admin team any questions that you may have. We'll be more than glad to help you! Our job is to help you here, so don't be embarassed or anything. Really.

We understand that you all, as members, have questions. We usually have the answers. However, this thread is here for a reason. Our Inboxes should not be the Holy area of Frequently Asked Questions. THAT DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF THIS THREAD!
Anyway, welcome to the site, and we all hope that you enjoy yourself. If you are having troubles, do not hesitate to ask.
-Esme (Amber)
Welcome to the site. If you have any questions involving your sorting, please refer to me. However, I ask you not to tell me that your sorting application is up. This just shows that you are impatient and there is a higher chance that I won't want to review your sorting. If you have questions of any sort you may refer to any of the staff members.
-- The Hat (Tori)
