• 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.

chat room

The prevalence of IM services and the option of using TFL's PM really preclude any realisitic consideration of providing what would be essentially a redundant service.
 
With 200 people trying to talk to each other in a chatroom, it would be like reading the ending credits of a movie, in "fast forward."
AOL has a limit of about 24 people per chatroom and with 15000 members we would need dozens of chatroom just to handle a few hundred people.


By the way Mykl............ Have we cut the number of PM messages down to 1? If I have more than one PM in My "in box" I get an email that says it was full? It use to be 5, then 2, now 1?
 
SodaPop - I'm willing to bet that after this explanation you're going to slap your forehead and loudly exclaim, "Doh!" :)

On your PM screen change the "Show messages from" number from the default to "the beginning". You should now see all the messages in your folders. Now you can do a major cleanup and you shouldn't have a problem any longer. Be sure to check both the inbox and sent items.

Mal:) It doesn't make a difference about the "sent" PM messages right?

My entire "inbox" is cleaned out. I didn't think the "sent" messages made a difference. It never says "your sent message box is full. "What is the total number of "sent" and "inbox" message that can be recieved?

I guess I'm too popular and really need a larger mail box.:D

Perhaps he is related to General U.S. Grant who was described by an acquaintance as "a man who could remain silent in several languages.":)
