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.
name change?

*just had to comment*
I don't know how they do the name changes but it is interesting. I asked to be changed to Wayne, my real name in RL, and was denied. I don't know after many, many years of USP45usp they decided that I was an icon upon the boards (so people recongnized me) or if they figured that if I changed my name/moniker it would be harder to track me
(or ).
I didn't know if I were more upset that they didn't do it or actually glad that they didn't (USP45usp is now a legend (in his own mind that is ).
Okay, so I'm bored and need to go to bed.

We weren't ignoring you, but with 33K members we don't always catch these requests. Fact is, name changes require a complete reindexing of the 1.7 Million Posts. As a result, we don't often grant these unles for reasons such as switching to your real name.
As to USP45....he'll be that long after the Company is a distant memory.
