• 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.

Thanks for getting back up and running. I needed my fix and I was starting to detox . Were you guys down for maintenance or was there a problem ?
 
And I thought it was me. I upgraded to Windows 10. Everything was fine before the upgrade; but afterwards. Kept getting a "certificate" error. Anyway, glad everything is back.
 
Yeah, I checked some other sites to be sure it was really TFL and not some sort of malware on my computer. Glad we are back up.
 
Regardless of the reason glad you guys are back. Also, a round of thanks to the owners, MODs and support staff that make TFL an awesome site.
 
I too started to prepare my tinfoil hat when I saw we were down.

I'm sure the thought police feel we are a danger to the collective....:eek:
 
At first I thought it was my phone fighting it out with Tapatalk but after a while I figured there must be problems on this end. I just logged back in and try to catch up.
