Hobbytalk Board
Da Rulz:
Rule 1)--No politics (i.e., potentially controversial threads that have nothing to do with modeling). I don't wanna hear no Republican/Democrat, gun, busing, integration, abortion/Right to Life stuff on this board. PERIOD.
Rule 4)--No potty mouth. Keep in mind that this is a family-oriented board. Let's keep it that way.
Rule 5)--There is still no Rule 5.
Rule 5A)--You have to like everyone here. Sounds easier than it is. And if ya can't get along, we have Rule 5B.
Rule 5B)--You have to at least pretend to like everyone here.
This board is asbestos-free, meaning no flames. Gotta problem with someone? Take it outside. Remember the wisdom that the board legend/hero/sage The CultTVMan offers when he says, "Maintain the spirit of the board." When he speaks, you listen.
Rule 9)--Promoting shows and events is okey-dokey...as long as you provide the when and the where.
Rule 10)--Never say "Never," here in the Clubhouse.
Rule 11)--Remember to "Pardon the Hamster."
Rule 12)--"Laotian666" is to be no longer referred to as "Laotion."
Rule 13)--Da Hawg's "Junior Member" speech is still banned.
Safety Rules:
There is to be no running in the halls. Although we enjoy playing at the clubhouse and visiting with our good friends at Polar Lights, let's remember that there are others here trying to get their work done.
Need a beverage? While you'll need coinage to access the cold ones in the drink machine, you really can't call yourself a modeler until you've injested some of Famous Buc's Special Brew, otherwise known as "coffee." One drink and you're not only a modeler, but a man.
Clean up after yourself. We've got a state-of-the-art clubhouse. Let's work to keep it that way. Lisa's not our mother and is not here to do our housework.
You get out of hand, you can expect Lisa (or Yours Truly) to come down on you with an iron fist. She carries the keys with her to lock down any inappropriate threads and if you're bad, she will send you outside or put you in the "time-out" chair. (Ask me how I know.) But keep in mind that while she's sweet/nice/tolerant, Da Hawg ain't.
Newbies are required to wear their beanies at any and all times that they are visiting the clubhouse. Not until they attain "member" status will they be allowed to wear the Polar Lights fez.
To reach Lisa, or any of the other fine folks at Polar Lights, their number is 1-800-MANTIS-8. Keep in mind guys, these people are busy.
One more thing: This board is paid for by Playing Mantis/Polar Lights. This is their house. They've invited us in. Let's remember that.
Dems Da Rulz, folks. Go by them.
