I want to WELCOME you to the club wel;co;m;e101)), and I hope you enjoy every moment you spend on our website. It will take some time getting use to it for some of you and some of you have been using this type of format for awhile now. There are a few things you need to know before you start posting in the forums, though.
The admins of this club have been running message boards for many years now and we know what makes a board work and we know what will kill a board/forum. http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif Unfortunately every board has to have some sort of rules. I would ask that you not post any **** on this site or links to any **** or rescay photos (including avatars and sig pics) and please try and keep your language clean if you would. We all know where to look and hear that stuff if we want to. http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/images/smilies/opps.gif

This is a "Work Safe and Family Friendly Site" and we operate this club with a G to PG rating and you should be able to click on any message here and not have to worry about what's going to pop up on the screen if your kids are in the room. If you see a post that violates these rules and guidelines, please let me know by clicking the Report to moderator link and we will deal with it.
Trolls and Spammers
If a troll shows up on our boards and we can identify their IP, we will disable all their accounts and will continue to do so until they go somewhere else to play. Trolls will be banned as fast as I can find them in-order to keep peace in the house. Someone asked me today what a "Troll" was. A Troll is someone that comes here only to cause division within our group. They have nothing of any value to add to this site. Spammers will be dealt with in the same manner.
The main thing that makes a board/forum a friendly place to come to is to show respect for each other. You don't have to agree with all the members, heck you don't even have to like all the members here but please show some respect for their differences, and take it easy on the new guys and gals. You were a new member at one time too.
We have various forums setup for everything so try and post the right messages in the correct forums (tech goes in tech and so on). This will make it much easier for you to read what you want to read. We can move messages if we need to.
You have full control over your messages. You can edit and delete any of your own messages and you can change any of your profile information.
You can have an "avatar" under your handle but if you link to a picture make sure it's no wider than 140 pix or else it it won't load. If you don't have a way to resize your picture just send me the full size picture and I will crop it and load it for you. If I see a sig pic that is too big I will remove it and resize the picture myself if I have the time. Please try and keep your sig pics so they are not taking up the whole board everytime you post. 400 pix wide is plenty big for a sig pic and animated gifs are frowned upon. :http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif
If you want me to load a picture/avatar for you remember to tell me the user name you signed up with and that it is for the FlyTheRoad Club forum. I'm running a few different boards right now and I don't want to go looking for you on all of them. http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif
You can Send your picture to derwin@flytheroadclub.com (SpyderSupport@gmail.com) and I will load them as fast as I can. Don't forget to give me your user name and that it's for the FlyTheRoad Club. You can also contact any other admin, and they should be able to help you as well.
The rules can be summed up pretty easy...
