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.

The site is organized into Categories, such as "The Hide", "The Conference Center" etc.
Forums within each of those categories are "children". The option is more suited to, for instance, a developer board where the categories might be "Apple Platforms", Windows Platforms" and "Linux Platforms".
It allows you to search a category or a forum with "children".

Maybe we ned some of those types of forums.
[Tip of the day]
On a serious note concerning child forums. Some members may not be aware that you can search at the higher levels. I find it very useful if, for instance, you are looking for a handgun thread, but you don't know if it is in General, Revolvers or Semiautos. Select "Hogan's Alley" as your search forum and you'll catch all the forums in that group. That helps weed out the threads that might match your parameters, but are in General Discussion or Legal. Another example: you are looking for all for-sale posts by member X, select only "The Firing Line Gun Show" and you'll find all of them in all categories without having to wade through their posts in the other forums.
