• 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.

Do I have a Number?

To see the member number of anyone, just hold your cursor over the 'profile' button, or any of the other five buttons at the bottom of the member's post and their number will appear in the link at the bottom of your browser's window. You don't even have to click!
 
By the way I just realized how Dumb I must have sounded asking about keeping a record of when I signed up. I'm glad you realized I meant Member Number and not the Date I signed up ;)
 
Member number 105. :D

Dang I'm old! I didn't realize I signed up that long ago. But I remember when the annoucement went out when TFL formed. I actually registered like 2 months latter. I remember when the moderators were having a contest who could bring in more new members and some guy named Kodiak won a knife.

I've had lots of good times here. Met a ton of wonderful and intelligent folks, and have learned lots of good all around gun knowledge.
 
My number is: 296 which means that the membership numbers could not have been changed when going to the new software. Damn, I've been here a long time. :p
