Since I started the very first forum we were on I have been trying to play Mr. Nice Guy and trying to be all things to all people. Well from hear out that  practice will be no more! We are all very different people from different cultures lifestyles and backgrounds. Of course we are bound to dissagree from time to time that is just life. No since getting all rowdy and boistrous about a difference of opinion and acting worse that a three year old child because somebody dissagreed with you on something. Just mind your manners and be respectful with your replies on the hot topics. As long as you do you can bet that  there will be no trouble between us. Until I piss you off don't listen to Gossip queens that get their rocks off downgrading those they don't understand. Play by the rules and no one will get into trouble. And I will not have to be the "bad guy" Look I'm just the board founder. I started Outsider's World when I seen a need for a fun relaxing place for patriots to be able to come together and goof off without worry of someone pounding us over our melons for trying to get to know each other. In the beggining I tried to immulate another forum too much with rules and looks and such. Now we're on our third version and I've decided to chill out a bit in order to let you all really enjoy the forum that much more. I hope that you all will agree with the direction I'm going to attempt to take us in. As always, Outsider _________________ <table border="0" bordercolor="#F6FCFD" width="1" bgcolor="#F6FCFD"> <tr> <td>  </td> <td> </td> </tr>Commanding Officer M.S.T.

I did not cover Off topic discussions in the rules above and that was on purpose because I'm not heavy handed when it comes to getting off topic on our threads. I started out being strict on that but have since relaxed as much as I can without letting things become a free-for-all however I will say just use common sense when replying to a thread. If the discussion is about the M-16 there is really no need to discuss Mom's apple pie as good as it might be it has no bearing on the topic at hand. ocassionaly there might be some off tracking going on and I will let it slide for a time but if I see a topic getting too distorted or lost in cyber-Hell I will at that point say something about it. There is no need to bust a gasket over one off topic comment. That might work on other well established boards but not here. Here we are too young to be that cocky or firm handed. I want new members to feel like they belong from day one and the new members are most likely to stray off topic. The Mods and admins here have been instructed from day one that I will not allow egos or heavy handed dealings with the members. I guess that if it works on well established forums that is great but I've been singled out before on that stuff and I reviewed my reply and compaired with the topic I could not see where I was off topic in the least so in order to prevent the same thing happening to members of this forum I decided to not be so obtouse with dealing with such things. As long as you use you common sense then there is really no reasson for me to say anything about what you post. Any questions/comments feel free to post here. Thanks OS _________________ <table border="0" bordercolor="#F6FCFD" width="1" bgcolor="#F6FCFD"> <tr> <td>  </td> <td> </td> </tr>Commanding Officer M.S.T.

As of late things have slowed Way down which was anticipated due to the fact that summer is here and many will be going on vacation over the next few months and we DO understand that fact but going 4 months without so much as logging in? Come on!! Unless you are active duty military that has been deployed there really is no excuse to not at least log-in once in a while. You might have noticed that our membership #'s are way down that is because I just finished deleting the last couple of hundred inactive members that registered but either never activated their account [Spam Bots] Or they activated but have not returned so we figure that they really don't want to be here anyway. With the forum being an invitation only forum there probably won't be any more problems with the damn bots  but we ARE closely monitoring who is logging in and who is not doing anything so We ARE NOT going to beg you to participate and we're NOT going to hound you to death either the choice to do or not to do is up to you but DO NOT come to Me, Outsider or any staff member crying if your account does get deleted. Come on people Get involved or soon there might not be a place here to be involved with there have been discussions this weekend of maybe closing down the forum due to the recent "lack of interest" Would hate to see that happen but with Outsider not feeling well lately + his dealing with allot of tough issues that effect his morale he is likely to do just about anything at this point. So if you really want this place to remain in existence start posting as  often as you can. If you feel there is a need for something to be added post your suggestion in the suggestions forum surely there is plenty of topics to choose from if you'll take the time to look for them and simply post your thoughts on those subjects. If you need help with anything post your questions or PM them to a staff member ALWAYS remember the only stupid questions are those NOT asked. Nobody will redicule you or make you feel stupid for asking a question if they do contact me immediately I promise you it will NOT happen again Edited for corrections/updates Edited by Outsider 14 November 2007 _________________ "It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people’s minds." --Samuel Adams " Inspector General[Mod trainer] Forum Intelligence officer Company CO M.S.T.Bravo Co.

When I created the warning images I wanted them to be ugly and hopefully discuorage any rule breaking. It is meant to be a psycological thing really. Fortunately we've had only one memberNow 2 in our time as a community to earn a warning and that 1st member is no longer with us he decided that we were not the cool place to be anymore and said that he "had more important things to do"<shrug> _________________ <table border="0" bordercolor="#F6FCFD" width="1" bgcolor="#F6FCFD"> <tr> <td>  </td> <td> </td> </tr>Commanding Officer M.S.T.
