• 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.

Moving threads

Rich - one enhancement from UBB that might be neat someday would be an ability to move your topic. In lieu of that, it would be handy to be able to delete your topic if no one has yet responded.

I know I've messed up a couple of times, posted a topic, and then thought better about how it should be in a different area. Perhaps this would be helpful for moderators too? As it stands, I gather the only way to get rid of a post is to edit it, and wipe out all of the text.

Thank you for all of your hard work to bring this resource on line.

BTW - did I hear right that there may be TheFiringLine.Com t-shirts available someday?
 
Jeff-
You're correct about not being able to move threads easily. Perhaps we should take a lesson from famous knife maker, Chris Reeve:

Chris' Motto: Think Twice-Cut Once
Rich

ps: The TFL T-shirts is a definite possible
 
Well, since we're ordering, I'll take 3 large, and 1 in a child's size. And, I would respectfully suggest we use your graphic from the upper left on each of our pages - looks great. I just don't want that red recticle moving around on my chest ... ;)
 
Will the front have the gun with its wandering crosshair and the back a listing of the forum topics (like it appears on the screen?). If so, I'll take a couple myself.
 
Let me jump on this band wagon:
3large

BTW maybe some sweatshirts too,Rich?

Wow!
In the words of Arlo Guthrie..."and if 4 people join in they might call it a Movement!"

I'm still working on the King of T, the incorrigible Walter Welch, MD. If he comes forth with the real skinny on his last attempt at this type of Mitzvah (good deed), it may be sobering for all.

Rich -

T-shirts? All Right!. I'll take two XXL. All right, all right, so I like food.

Woooohoooo! If Da Doc does the Tshirt, it should look "Damn Good!"{tm}

Doc or Rich, let me know if you want an opinion on the Tshirts, and put me down for two if they are anything like the Knifegnugen ones!

BTW, yes, BladeForums.com is also working on Tshirts, and special BladeForums.com limited edition knives as well! Woooohooooo, cool stuff all around!
