How does TFL stay "on the air"?

Are we on a server in someone's house? Who pays for the upkeep? Is it purely a labor of love?

I would hate to see it go away. I hope we would have a membership drive or something to kick in some cash before that would happen.

What is the TFL story?
 
TFL is run by elves who live in a hollow tree. They run this board to harvest free electrons that they use in their elven hobbies.
 
44, thanks, but Rich L has stated unequivocally that TFL will never be commercialized, whether by ads, membership fees, or what-have-you.

Lib... did you have to let the secret out? (sigh) DC, bring me the flayer...
 
Coinneach and Rich, I am most most appreciative of the commercial-free attitude.

I think that some generous souls are wondering to whom they could send a donation out of their love and gratitude. :)

Does Rich accept donations which have no strings attached?

Well, you look back and think of ol' Sam Colt and John Browning. You also have the more modern folks like Gale McMillan and Bill Ruger and a host of others. A great big host! And us, we're lucky enough to have Rich.

It's not the hands, it's the minds, right?

And so I just pop a top, look up above the clouds and figure, "Thankee, Boss. You're real good to us."

Hummmmmmm ... What kind of tree? There's maple trees, oak trees, ash trees, shoe trees, tulip trees ... computer trees???
 
And the singletree, for pullin a load. I am shore that Rich has oft in the past bedded down at dawn with the collar n traces still hooked to the tree.

I infiltrated the glen one moonish night and saw Rich and his band of elves gathered round the base of an old can of RIG. They were packin the strangest collection of firearms ever seen by mere mortal. Good thing I had taken my prophylactic dose of uncle Enus's straight pipe single malt, or I would have neer been able to see em so weel.

They were variously armed, for huntin newt to hefalump, from humper to harpie. But best of all they were workin on one of those computer server thingies so they could enlist the aid of elves from all over the galaxy to assist in their quest to hunt down the dreaded anti and dispatch them with logic, facts and informed vote.

Being free elves, they had no need for the green of mortals, no gold nor baubles, they were all extremely rich already in that they were free and knew it. They appreciated their freedom and wished that those who had it not but wished it could also enjoy that freedom.

When I awoke, I thought it a wonderful dream. Then when I booted up and TFL was on the first screen, I knew that it had not been a dream and all was still well.

Thanks Rich and all the hard workin elves.

Sam, follow me, the water is just over that next ridge.
 
They are Cluricaunes!
You have heard of Leprechauns? Leprechauns make shoes you know...while Cluricaunes DRINK! A Cluricaune is a "walking thrist".
So donations should be made in SHINER! :) :) :)
 
No Jeffer, If you'll recall, Fitz DOES make cookies in his spare time in the tree, while wearing an apron - at least that's the allegation. However, I don't remember ever seeing an SBE (scary bald elf) before.
 
Silly, Hobbits...trikes are for kids!

sbryce-
We happiliy accept donations...send 'em, in your name, to the NRA, GOA, SAF, JFPO, Mothers Arms or other RKBA org of your choice.

At least they are not harvesting the rare and indangered nauga for the money from the hides. :) Has anyone seen a real nauga in the wild? or know how to skin one? :)
 
Actually I have seen one in the woods. Usually they're so fast you can't spot them but this one was a loafer.
 
The tree is easy to spot. It's the one with machine gun nests to go with the birds nests.

It annoys the antis.
 
Nah... that's just a cover story.

Actually Rich and the others do not exist. They are really BATF agents running this site from the basement of the BATF building, you know, the one with all the black helicopters on the roof.

Yes, I have seen a Nauga with its hide intact. And this was in my early youth before it became misspent so at the time my perceptions were unblurred.

It was many years ago. I do believe it was a domesticated Nauga however. I saw it lurking in a furniture store. ;)

Though perhaps it was a wild one looking for its lost mate who had been skinned for a sofa.
