• 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.

trouble accessing tfl

Anyone who was unable to access TFL at all over the weekend (aside from early Sunday morning, when TFL really was down), please post here.
 
A little trick I found out if you are on DSL: I couldn't get TFL at all a few months ago, Derek and I worked on the problem for days. I was behind some kind of firewall and even the Quest people couldn't figure it out.

Finally, I unplugged the power to my DSL box, let it sit a few minutes, and plugged it back in... Problem Solved!
 
All is well now -- would be interested in knowing what might have been going on? Per other response, am on cable and had no trouble with any other website. ???
 
There was a routing loop for traffic from the TFL server to certain other networks. I still don't have any response from concentric (a.k.a. xo communications), but they seem to have fixed it as of Monday morning.
 
routing loop?

Sounds like an anti plot! ;)

In any case, I haven't had access all day (Saturday) today until just now.
 
So this is what's happening when I get "cannot find webpage" like last night and at least once in the past week?
 
Nope, this time it was a server problem. The trouble seems to be with the aacraid driver or raid hardware. There'll probably be another hour or so downtime early in the week (early morning probably) while TFL gets transferred back to the old server.
