Welcome Notice For New NDF Members

[Max Power]

Thank you for registering for the NetShrine Discussion Forum (NDF) - - where we pride ourselves on having mature, friendly, respectful and intelligent discussions.

While some on-line discussion forums (other than the NDF) may encourage, foster, or tolerate "fan-boy" and/or "trash talk" behavior, it is unacceptable here. The NDF is, and will always be, the mature alternative to those aforementioned other types of forums.

The purpose of this thread is to provide some useful information regarding posting, language, and the tenor here at the NDF - as well as some other helpful direction. To access more on each topic, please "click" on the links, where provided, in the post which follows this one in the thread.
