The Crankshaft Coalition Wiki uses special characters to format text and links. Bulletin boards use the same method, however, wiki syntax is slightly different. You can always use the buttons at the top of your posting screen for bold or italic text, links, or other formatting features. | The Crankshaft Coalition Wiki uses special characters to format text and links.
