• 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 know we have had some members getting off topic on certain threads including myself and appologize for that but I would like to make a suggestion for a TFL chat page where members can go and chat "off topic" and discuss other things and events besides the ones listed here already. We have alot of members that im sure would enjoy the pleasure of not having to wait the 60 seconds in between PM's and to have the ability for an instant response from another member. It would be great to hear what your thoughts are whether positive or negative for a TFL chat page. Thanks, Mike B.

Mods, If you think this is a hopeless idea, Please delete but I think it would be great to see what other members think.

Mike, I voted "No opinion" because, nit-picker that I am, you said "should" and not "do you want one?" :cool: For those who want a chat room, it can be a lot of fun and useful too. I tend to be a bit uncomfortable and spend a lot of time just reading the discussion, but I'd probably pop in from time to time.
