Hi everyone.

Welp, we just keep growing and growing and of course, we have to keep our roots in mind as we do. We're a family-friendly place where everyone (except spammers LOL) is welcome and should feel comfortable.

Over the last few weeks, we've had some issues with avatars. The rules up until this point have not been clearly set forth. In the interest of doing so:

No avatars that are demeaning to any segment of the population.
No avatars that depict or promote illegal activity.
No avatars that would not be considered "family friendly" (i.e., PG rated)

If you have a question, please send myself or one of the mods the avatar and we'll let you know if it is acceptable or not.

If you are offended by someone's avatar, please contact a moderator or administrator.

These rules will be modified as necessary. Anyone violating the policy will receive a private message from site staff and/or have their avatar removed by us.

Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.

Travis
