• 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.

How about a separate "Range Reports" section?

Yeah...sounds kinda cool. Reports, sightings of good places(legal), critiques, etc. Maybe even reviews?

Additional thought...

This could expand and develop a tighter shooting community bond with non-internet shooters.....actually this has a lot of benefit and potential

Most of the range reports I've seen were about how well (or not) one's shooting went. Breaking in new firearms, etc. Is that what you're talking about?
 
I like the concept. In the abyss that is the continuing struggle for liberty, it is important to discuss pragmatic issues. We need a forum for applied physics; where to do it, the results of doing it, the vehicles for its consummation, and a relative comparison of these vehicles.

Okay, Lets get this ball rolling... sounds like a good idea.

What it needs though is a good title, something catchy:

"Applied Physics Lab"
"Mallone 18" (the Army's advanced marksmenship range at Ft Benning)
"Firing Line"

Any other ideas?

Clever arrangement of the forums, Rich, putting General Discussion all the way down there. With the more specific forums at the top, new members will see them first, and will be less inclined to reflexively post in the General forum. Pretty sly!
