• 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.

Browsing around, there is something I noticed in the "links" section; a lot of those are dead-ended, and it becomes slightly irritating to get the bounce-around from 404's and "can't be displayed".
May I suggest an eventual clean-up and update of this section?
BTW, I am perfectly well aware of the sum of work Rich and the Staff are putting in on a daily basis, and I want to make clear that this comment is NOT criticism, but simply a suggestion.
I have enjoyed my membership from day one, and wish to congratulate all staff & alii for their constant efforts to maintain and improve my favorite site.
:)
 
I've got the time...

If it would be helpful, I'd be glad to take some time over the next week to winnow the dead links for you.

Many of the links listed in that section have simply moved to a new location. It would be most helpful if the updated locations were posted here in this thread. If anyone has the time, we'd welcome the help!

Thanks for the tip, Thibault; and thanks for the offer, Jorah! :)
