• 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.

Where'd all the posts go?

I noticed TFL has been down for a couple days. Obviously it is back online now, but I have noticed that a bunch of threads are now missing? Will they ever be back or are they gone forever?
 
Hadn't noticed any missing. Examples? (obviously, you can't give links, but a general idea of the topic would help.)
 
The last thread I was looking at before the server went down was one by FirstFreedom titled something about 2007 TFL Awards. Anyway, when I could finally log back on, that thread was gone. I think there may be others but my memory escapes me at the moment.
 
One thread is hardly "a bunch of threads", you had us worried. That one disappeared for cause and had nothing to do with the system problems.
