Okay...maybe some other time I or someone else (if it ever gets that big) can fix this stuff up since I'm not a good formal typer but here it goes;
I made this club so that those who have trouble operating different applications and software can come here to ask for assistance. I myself am pretty knowledgeable so I will help the best I can and assist.
For those who ARE good or know more than the basics for different kinds of software and applications you can come here to gain further tips/tricks/hints/help/etc and also share with one another your knowledge.
I don't really know the best way to describe this club but...basically I created it as a means to help others and share information about types of software.
I myself have taken graphics design and animation and know people who have taken video production in my school and this is partly one of the reasons I decided to make this club as well because:
My graphics design teacher knew JACK...he did not even know the difference between a html, php, webpage and a flash based animation advertisement...(this website for example is different than an advertisement pop up add...that's what he said basically was the same)
...and I myself had to teach this class along with my friend because most of the people who took it did not know much and our teacher knew even less but THOUGHT he knew it all...I could go on and on about how terrible he was but my point is he taught what, in my opinion, were less than the basics and even though he taught something...it wasn't right so I was furious that my fellow friends and classmates were being taught something completely wrong and he was teaching multiple classes...basically my point is that in my school (I don't know about others) there are some teachers who do teach well like my animation teacher...but then again there are those who cant teach and teach wrong things like my graphics design teacher...
...so because of this I have decided to make this club (and might make one at my school) to learn different things and receive help if needed XD
Be it graphical programs like Photoshop/Gimp/Illustrator or video/animation type programs like Flash/After Effects/Premier/Sony Vegas/3DsMax, or coding, or just programs for other purposes; music mixing, conversion programs, anything you can come here to gain info on such and help if need be or learn new stuff.
For things like Sharing Applications and such I have made a little response to such;
In Response to such things as sharing application I am kinda in the middle. I do disagree with sharing applications and such if the said person will never buy it at any time. I myself do not half the means to buy a lot of the software online and around were I live there's not much resources to buy them at stores...however when I am able to and get the money I plan to buy everything I have downloaded for free that I use frequently.
It may sound hypocritical but think of it like this:
If a person used a free program to do something like graphic design or something they do not have as much resources...their full potential would not be recognized or they might suck at it and not like it at all.
I myself used to use free programs and I did well but I hated how terrible the programs were...however when I started using photoshop and video programs and animation my abilities broadened and I became more interested in such things and learned more...and now I might even do work in such fields...if I had only stuck to the free applications I would never have had such interests...and now that I might do work in such things I will now (when I can) pay for the programs.
My point (if not proven already) is that if people stick to free programs and not use shared copies then a lot of people might lose interest and/or give up on such things were if they could use the good programs they might likely go into such fields and because of this they must pay for the programs when getting a job in this field.
This would boost selling of applications...though in saying that I do not condone having a free copy of something and never intending to pay for it...
Anyways...I guess that's all I would like to say for now XD have fun and remember when talking to people who are new to such things....you were new once. XD
Also, I do NOT claim to know everything...in fact compared to a lot of people I know, I know very little...you could say I'm more or less the jack of all and master of none or something like that...my knowledge is good for a lot of stuff however I'm not a master in anything...so I welcome all assistance/help/recommendations and such and I welcome those who know a lot in specific things to feel free to help others and even post topics for specific things.

Can anyone tell me how to use/download bittorent format files? I've always wanted to play them, but I can't figure out how.
As Sharma said, use a Bit-Torrent client such as BitTorrent or uTorrent. (I personally use uTorrent) - They are much safer and secure. I'd also add that Bit-Torrent clients are somehow better than "*wire" type clients. (my opinion =P)
What the Bit-Torrent client will do is, download the Torrent format file and open it in the folder that you so choose on your computer.
Use a program along the lines of BitTorrent, or my personal favourite, uTorrent. Basically you download the torrent format file from the site and then you open it in uTorrent and it will start to download. If I recall correctly Limewire and Frostwire also started to read torrents.
The ideal solution to using this application without downloading it.
...and I have used it before. It doesn't work correctly and I wouldn't rely on it for exact proficiency. It's like Google translator, little or no difference.
I take it back..... I did updates to my ethernet port, which refused to let me online, and the zune refused to connect becuase I had the ps3 controller drivers..... who know Microsoft hates Sony? O.o
