Im so confused
I really wish I could make head or tail of this site. I was searching for a horseshoe icon and that led me here now I am lost in a world of oddness. I am trying to set up a forum for horse owners and need some icons to brighten it up and help would be great.

OK so I decide I want to join then what? I am of course more than happy to respect any copyright but what does that mean in practice? Do I need to join to get the icons I need or do I have to stay a member for as long as I want to use the icons for? Sorry to be such a newbie but this is the best site that I have found and I really want to do things right.

Ahoy! Welcome to IB, I've added ye as a friend to help you towards one of your first badges -- the rockstar/fans badge. :D
Specific answers to your questions regarding copyright arrrr... found in the License Agreement.
As for the site itself, here be some...
Pirate wisdom, passed on to me by elnitido52:
You don't have to accept every set that is sent to you and you have to keep in mind that sets cost tokens and you only get ten (10) tokens a month if you arrr... not a VIP (VIP's=30 TOKENS) so spend them wisely. Sending sets costs stamps.
The value of the sets you send or buy arrr... as follow:
&bull Bronze Set = 1 token for buying = 1 stamp for sending
&bull Silver Set = 3 tokens for buying = 3 stamps for sending
&bull Gold Set = 5 tokens for buying = 5 stamps for sending
&bull Diamond Set = 10 token for buying = 10 stamps for sending
As of Today, 3 Diamond Sets = Amsterdam High Seas, PackRat and IB Anniversary = 1 month of tokens for each set.
Need more tokens? For every 10,000 points you get 2 extra tokens every month up to 10 tokens (50,000 points). One free token each month for every referral that becomes VIP up to 10 tokens (10 VIP referrals). Check the complete-icon-lists from debbye.
Try to fill out your profile entirely ASAP, to show off who you are to the rest of the community.
You get more stamps by receiving sets (5 for each set you receive). There arrr... several good tutorials here in the forum and somebody will be very glad to link you to some fairly quickly. For a detailed help you should start at tamashii's Guides, FAQs and Tutorials.
You can upload an avatar and earn your first badge, the cheese badge.
Next time you have 10 tokens. Get 10 Shanghai bronze sets. They cost 1 token each and if you hold 10 sets = 10 tokens. What you get? 100 points + 3 badges + 50 stamps (very important for this game) but most important...10 great "undervalued" sets.
Just post a blog (click Blog Forums tab in your profile) "Newbie - Accepting Shanghai sets", and you will get them very quickly, I promise you that...
Enjoy the Buffet!

The wisdom handed to me from the likes of miranoriel and elnitido52 have served me well.
Added you as a friend too - help you get those sunglasses.

Also, sent you a "cowboy-y" icon set incase it's of any use to you. Please feel free to reject if it's not your cup-of-tea.

I have been blown away by the help.
I am not much wiser than I started but I will try.

Icons do not impart wisdom, just joy.
Happy trading.

You're right -- one of the friendliest communities I've ever found on the interweb.
All part of what gets you hooked.
