Okay! OOC instructions on how to participate in a memo--actually it is really easy, because the formatting of the memos is just like a livejournal thread! Officially, they are not threaded, just one comment after another,, so feel free to threadhop or insert your character's comments/opinions midstream in someone else's subthread. Y'all know how normal non-RP livejournal threads work, I don't have to tell you. Different subthreads will happen sequentially in millitime.
When typing in a memo, everyone's user initials and text are formatted the same, but with the addition of a "C" for CURRENT. This is because the memo function has some weird temporal properties Karkat has gutted. If you forget it, it doesn't really matter--he has tried to take it out altogether, but... weird temporal properties. Because of that, it will pretty much always be CURRENT and RIGHT NOW in the time fields.
If your character is a T Minus user, it would be pretty easy to state that a bulletin they put up on the physical board is also present as a memo, so people can interact. It would be sliiightly more realistic than the escalating series of follow-up notes pinned to the board we have all used in the past to simulate the same thing >.>. And would definitely make it easier to get in touch with people responding to such a post.
All fancy-pants HTML formatting is, again, STRICTLY OPTIONAL, but follows for the perfectionists among us:
When your character FIRST accepts the invitation and checks out the memo, use this format:
CURRENT yourName [CYN] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.
CYN: Said some stuff/
Once they are participating, you just use
CYN: the usual formatting! for individual comments.
If you want to include narrative in your tags as well, it's up to you. Obviously no one can see that unless they happen to be in the same room. Which they might well be, this being a bar.
If you want to create a new memo/new board, well, just imitate the formatting Karkat used in his post. Here it is with the HTML.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CURRENT carcinoGeneticist [CCG] 45 MINUTES AGO opened memo on board MAGICAL MYSTERY BAR VIRTUAL BULLETIN BOARD
Obviously adjust the time, user, name of the board, and public/private setting. If you are using a board that has already been created--either by you, or another player, or just this one Karkat has made--just use the last line
CURRENT carcinoGeneticist [CCG] 45 MINUTES AGO opened memo on board MAGICAL MYSTERY BAR VIRTUAL BULLETINBOARD
Now that Karkat has invited everyone to that board, new posting will be visible there automatically, so you can skip that step. If it is a new board... well, it is probably either public or you have discussed OOC who it's visible to, so frankly you can skip the step then, too.
Questions can go below or, ICly, in the memo Karkat started!
