    1. Rules

    First of all there are two very simple rules that will result in an immediate ban!
    • We will not tolerate Child Porn in any way, shape, or form. Nor do we allow the discussion of being with under-aged children. Not only will we ban you but we will also report you to the FBI!
    • We will not tolerate racial attacks. Again you will be banned, although the FBI will be left out it.
    2. Pictures & Trip Reports

    Most of our board is open to members and is organized with the tabs on the home page. To gain access to some sections you must either purchase a subscription for the Pictures & Trip Reports sections. Or you can contribute several trip reports & your own pictures then JimmyDR may give you access for free.

    We currently have almost 1,500 threads in the various Trip Reports forums and over 75,000 pictures hosted on our site, not including pictures hosted on other sites like Photobucket.

    If you wish to contribute a trip report with pictures but want access limited please contact a SuperModerator or Admin with a PM and they will move your thread to Pictures & Trip Reports or Special BOD Shares. SuperModerators & Admins can be identified by the color of their names. You will still have complete access to your thread but access by other members will be limited to either Picture & Trip Report members or BOD & higher members, please specify which forum you would like your thread moved to.

    3. Issues/Questions About the Website


    Please contact Don Tomas if you have any problems, issues, or suggestions. You can contact JimmyDR for other issues.
    4. Forum Layout

    We don't run a tight ship here which could be confusing for new members but feel free to start a new thread if you can't find what you are looking for. We have several sub-forums and I will describe the basic layout here.
