The Grand Island Independent Forums

Welcome to the new and improved Independent Forums. If you are a member of the old boards, you will have to re-register here but it's a quick process. Your account will be on hold until an admin can approve but it shouldn't take long.

Forum Rules Reminder:

You are responsible for what you post.

While the administrators and moderators of this forum will attempt to remove or edit any generally objectionable material as quickly as possible, it is impossible to review every message. Therefore you acknowledge that all posts made to these forums express the views and opinions of the author and not the administrators, moderators or The Grand Island Independent and hence will not be held liable.

You agree not to post any abusive, obscene, vulgar, slanderous, hateful, threatening, sexually-oriented or any other material that may violate any applicable laws. Doing so may lead to you being immediately and permanently banned (and your service provider being informed). The IP address of all posts is recorded to aid in enforcing these conditions.

Personal attacks are expressly forbidden.

You agree that the webmaster, administrator and moderators of this forum have the right to remove, edit, move or close any topic at any time should they see fit.

Although the constitution of the US guarantees that Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech, this website is not Congress. Freedom of speech rights do not extend to this privately owned website. These guidelines govern the behaviors and activities of the members. If you choose not to follow the guidelines agreed to during registration, the result is a disabling of your account.

We ask that you respect privacy. If you know the personal information of another user, such as real name or location, you agree not to reveal that information publically without permission. Doing so could result in restrictions on your account.

Account sharing for banned members is not allowed. If you are found to be sharing your forum account with a banned member, you will forfeit your account.

As a user you agree to any information you have entered above being stored in a database. While this information will not be disclosed to any third party without your consent the webmaster, administrator and moderators cannot be held responsible for any hacking attempt that may lead to the data being compromised.

This forum system uses cookies to store information on your local computer. These cookies do not contain any of the information you have entered above; they serve only to improve your viewing pleasure. The e-mail address is used only for confirming your registration details and password (and for sending new passwords should you forget your current one).

By clicking Register below you agree to be bound by these conditions.

We will comply with the requirements of the law regarding disclosure of such messages to others, including law enforcement agencies.

As of today, the old forums are now closed to posts. We will not be removing that forum for some time so that you can reference old threads and posts if you need to.

Thanks.

As of today, if you would lke to join the forums, you must provide a valid email address when you fill out the registration form. I know several of you who have already registered did so with invalid email accounts and I tried to ok most of them because I knew who you are from the old ones.

But we've reached a point where new people are starting to register and I can no longer do this. So if you have registered with a made-up email and are still unable to post 48 hours after you registered, then it's because your email bounced (I get a bounce message for every fake/invalid email) and I deleted your account. Try again, but use a valid address and you should have no problems.

Thanks.
