IMO, the "strictness" isn't scary at all..it's protection to me. I've been around forums for a while..been scammed many times, more than I can count, so I know all of this is needed. Just a shame that the bad ruin it for the good..story of my life. lol. But, glad to be here..hope to stick around for a while.

You will soon see that this is unlike any group you have been in before. The Mods and members are all solid and actually care about the members. Glad you found us all.

Most of us Sr. members here have been on other forums together and know how not to do things. We've learned a better way to do things and tho it can seem a bit harsh to newer members, it's done this way for good reason. There's a TON of experienced folks here that work very hard to make this the best, safest, most honest forum there is.

We are not just friends, but a family of people that care about each other and will back each other to the ends of the earth. Gettin' new members is great, but they must be patient and follow the rules so they can become part of our family.

There are unlimited amounts of very sensitive info here that needs to be protected for the good of all. Not to mention all of the friends you can make and the support and understandin' from members. We want to help, but have to be smart about these lifelines we treasure. For many of us, it's all we have.

Good luck to all new members and welcome to our home.
