Can someone help me understand how the forum and the “lets plays” work please?

The forum is (mostly) here to help answer questions about authoring or playing IF games! "Let’s Play"s are basically just a commentated playing of a specific IF game, so like the text adventure version of a twitch stream of someone playing, say, Resident Evil. (I use that example because I don’t tend to watch those, lol, but have watched the smosh RE8 playthroughs.)

I’m not sure if that helped, but hopefully it gives a little bit more guidance as to what this forum is for.
