• 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.

Is this true?

In someones reply to a thread, they said that this forum was going to close shop!
Wretched truth......or insidious hyperbole?:confused:
Say it ain't so Paw!
Say it ain't so!!!:(
 
I suggest a different title here... such as "Rumor check? Is there any danger of this forum closing down?"

I am the ONLY view you have so far.

By the way, I have not heard of such but it IS expensive and time consuming to own a forum like this. I have a couple of my own:eek:
 
It was on the "LawDog Chronicles" post.
I'd have to go back and look.
I guess I'll know the answer if I can't find this forum at some point, won't I.
It would be a shame though.
Watch, it happens THE DAY before I open the safe!!!!!!!:D :D
 
At this time, there are no plans to shut down TFL. The LawDog Chronicles is an old thread that was resurrected recently by psycho nut. It pre-dates the 12/2002 shutdown of TFL.

Nothing to see here...

Please move along...
