Privacy Policy

We will not release or sell any information regarding your user account, including email address, IP addresses and other data to any group or organization whatsoever EXCEPT as required by subpoena or legal process.

They'd have to pry your data from our cold dead hands before we'd give it up but it's not like there is much anyway.

With that said...
Nothing is really private on the Intarwebs. What you post will eventually show up somewhere else. Just try Googling your usernames from other boards and see. Heaven forbid if you ever posted anything to a USENET list. :o

With that caveat, them 'gubmint boys working for those dark and shadowy lettered organizations eventually read everything on the tubes as well so our suggestion is to watch what you say in public.

PRIVACY IS AN ILLUSION

We'll do our utmost to insure that any limited data within our control is not sold or released, however, technologies exist to harvest information that none of us can prevent. Take our Google adverts, for example. Their Bots silently crawl forums and websites looking for key words to send ads targeted to our content. This is relatively innoculous and present at every site on the web that has them. Unfortunately, there are at least a dozen other Bots that have more malicious intent. We have applied all the standard security measures to prevent them from crawling our forums, but there a few that are unable to be stopped. Some will harvest email addresses from posts so it is not recommended you do dat. Every other board out there has exactly the same issues.

Thanks, enjoy your stay! (and don't be too paranoid)
Happy Doobering!
