• 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.

Server acting up?

I believe there were some problems earlier this afternoon, but don't know if they were with TFL's server or a localized Internet latency problem.

I tried to do a Traceroute earlier this evening and kept getting "Cannot find thefiringline.com...

Seems fine now. :confused:
 
Noticed same thing. Then I checked and at the time there were over 240 on the board. It's usually around 150.
 
Sporadic now with 171 on board. from central AZ. Other sites seem ok from here.

Seems that if it was universally bad we would see a lot more double n tripple taps.

Just had another very slow access time. Members on board:174. I'm accessing from Ohio.

I've been noticing a greater number of two and three page threads lately. Rich, I wonder if it would help the server at all if we reduced the default number of posts shown per thread to 15 or 20 from the current 25 or 30?
 
Dave-
What would really help is if we could get a Linux Guru to assist us in utilizing some 300MB of unrecognized Ram that's in the server now!
