• Anything ‘published’ on the web is viewed as intellectual property and, regardless of whether it displays a copyright symbol or not, is therefore copyrighted by the originator. The only exception to this is if there is a “free and unrestricted reuse” statement associated with the work.

    In order to protect our members and TFL from possible litigation, all members must abide by the following new rules:

    1. Copying and pasting entire articles from another site to TFL is strictly prohibited. The same applies to articles from print or other media, and to posting photographs taken of copyrighted pages or other media.

    2. Copyright law provides for “fair use” of portions of a copyrighted work. You can copy no more than a SINGLE paragraph from the article to your post (3 or 4 sentences at most).

    3. You must provide a link to the article along with the name of website. For example: ww.xxx.yyy/zzz (The Lower Thumbsuck Daily News).

    4. You must provide, in your own words, a brief summary of the article AND your reasons for believing it will be of interest to TFL members. Failure to do so may result in the thread being closed or your post being deleted as a “cut and paste drive by.”

    5. Photographs and other images are also copyrighted. "Hotlinking" of images (so that it appears in your message) from other sites is also prohibited unless you own rights to the image. If you wish to share an image, provide a clickable link to it.

    Posts that do not follow these new guidelines will be altered or deleted by staff. Members who continue to violate this policy may lose their posting privileges at TFL.

    Thank you for your cooperation and your participation in TFL, the leading online forum for firearms enthusiasts.

As TFL nears 10,000...

I am curious as to how many of those registered members have visited within the last 30, 60, or 90 days. I realize their are some multiple personalties on board, some have changed handles,, and others have ridden off (or been chased off!) into the sunset. Any ideas or estimates of the "true" current membership?
 
Here's the info:
Registered Members who have visited:
Since 5/31/01: 2,838
Since 4/30/01: 3,339
Since 3/31/01: 3,683

It's not really quite the same thing, but my gun club has 150 members and only about 20 use the club on any regular basis. The other 130 members are supporting the shooting habits of we 20. A pretty good deal. Eh, Edmund?
