• 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.

TFL archives missing and search not working?

The search function is not working for me. It says nothing found even when I type in words that are obviously in threads, even ones I just looked at. Also in some of the forums there are only 3-10 pages of threads (the General Handgun Forum only shows 3 total pages of threads and General Discussion shows 5), when there are obviously more than that. Has one of the servers crashed or something?
 
Searching is fixed. If it crashes again, it'll be restarted within 2 minutes. Maybe it didn't even crash. Maybe I somehow broke it yesterday afternoon.

What do you mean about the number of threads? Has it decreased? You can customize the thread age cut-off: UserCP->Edit Options->Default Thread Age Cut Off. The current value is shown on the left side of the page toward the bottom, when you're viewing a main forum page.
