Why this forum?

[Doug Schultz]

The reason for this forum is that a forum's registration database is required to use the photo album that my photos are organized in -- and for the management of the home page.

While I had no intention of having a forum, and don't intend to use it personally, I will open it for posts from to see how it is utilized by them. If the forum is used with common sense by others -- I may select a couple of the most even tempered and polite members to moderate it.

There are a couple of points I'd like to make:

1. I don't have the time to moderate posts, so the poster, and not I, is responsible for his/her posts.

2. If the forum has activity I feel to be acceptable -- I will appoint moderators to keep it friendly and spam free.

3. On the subject of Spam -- it won't be tolerated. Spam the board and you, your email address, and your IP address will be forever banned from this site.

4. I don't have time to babysit. If someone offends you or hurts your feelings -- please don't email or PM me personally about it. Moderators will be the people to PM about it. I will not answer any PM complaining about the forum.

5. No Profanity - period.

6. No Minors are to register - period.

7. No Porn - period.

All of that said, if people want to have friendly discussions following the above rules -- you are welcome to post to my board.

Thank you for your understanding,

D B Schultz
