Once upon a time, we were all strangers to each other. Now many of us here are good friends. You are not only welcome, but encouraged, to join the family, the friendship and the fun.
Feel free to lurk and read and enjoy. Feel even freer to participate in the conversations.
All we ask is that you show respect for other people. Don't let the fact that many of us know each other already stop you from joining in some of the good-natured teasing. Just don't make it personal and if asked to cut it out, please do so. "Offense" is in the eye of the recipient and a little courtesy goes a long way. A wide variety of users will frequent this board from many different demographics. Please respect them all.
Some things will NOT be tolerated here such as hate speech of any variety, libel/slander, or encouragement of illegal activities, whether it's in a public forum or via private message from one member to another. As for language or suggestiveness, ask yourself if you'd like us to be saying that around your mom. If you aren't sure about what you're saying or doing, give it a second thought. "Think Before You Post".
There is also zero tolerance for spam on here (bacon is quite another matter). If you join just to plug your business, don't expect to be a member for long.
And let's allow George Carlin be our guide. From his list of "Seven Words...", numbers 1, 2 and 7 are okay for general expletives, while 3, 4, 5 and 6 are best left off the board. (Google it if you're not familiar...)
The moderators (Steven Kirk, Kris "Soupey" Johnson AKA Watchtower, Brian K. Morris and Tiffany Kresse) are here to help you. Feel free to PM them with questions and suggestions for the board's improvement. By the same token, they are also here to make this as pleasant an experience as possible for as many users as they can, which might potentially may not include you.
Please keep in mind that this is a private party and while the moderators will make every effort to be inclusive, fair and generous, they reserve the right to unleash their full wrath upon anyone with negative intentions in mind. Also, the rules can change at any given time. Please don't give us reason to rewrite these to include an atrocity you committed.
Remember, you'll believe a man can fly, bacon isn't just for breakfast any more, beware both the Man and the Steve Clubs, and it's always Brian's fault. Anything else, just ask.
Steven, Brian! Kris, & Tiffany
