• 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.

request to split IDPA discussions away from competition into a dedicated forum

http://204.235.96.21:8080/forums/showthread.php?threadid=42034

why do i think this should happen?

I have been looking for a dedicated IDPA discussion site for a little while now... I recently found out about a small one run by the front range (marckco's group in colorado) but it doesnt have that "critical mass" yet.

I initially wanted to spin a forum out over on Glocktalk, but since IDPA is not Glock specific (what - there are hanguns that are not made in Austria?) I think TFL is a better home for such a forum.

I would volunteer to moderate, co-moderate, or just be a frequent poster. I would think MarkCO, Steve Koski, and a handfull of others would be willing as well. Perhaps TFL Admin have similar plans & already have a moderator in mind. There is likely a large pool of potential moderators for such a site. AS LONG AS WE GET A FORUM, (and Sarah Brady is not moderating it) I think all will be happy.

If TFL does not split out a IDPA forum, I may go ahead and start one at GT, but if you do start one I think we can expect much of the GT IDPA discussion to migrate over to this site.

ALSO - If a IDPA forum is started up, please consider moving (or copying) all IDPA related threads currently in the competition section into the new forum.

Who knows - I might even pay to put a banner ad/link to TFL's IDPA forum on the top of GT's competition forum.

Thanks, Rusty. But the Competition Forum is already dedicated primarily to IDPA. If you chhose to set up an IDPA Forum on GT, you do so with our blessing. Eric is family to us.
