• 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.

i started a thread about nylon vs brass cleaning brushes in the rifle forum but it seems it got deleted? just wondering why?
 
TFL encountered a problem with its database yesterday, and as a result, some threads were lost. New members that registered yesterday also found their accounts gone, and had to re-register.

Our vBulletin guru, Tyme, is on it (see the announcement at the top of every forum), but I fear you'll have to restart your thread. Sorry for the inconvenience, psdan.
 
Yeah, unfortunately you'll have to repost the thread if you started it yesterday. But the post should be at the alternate forum url (see the announcement), so all you have to do is cut and paste.
 
i posted it again this morning thinking maybe i didnt post it right or something and now its gone again. AND i made a post in the for sale section about a barrel for sale and its also gone:confused:
 
Since the post you linked, Don, is timestamped after psdan000 noted here that his barrel thread was missing, I would assume that one is the thread he re-posted and not the missing one.
