Private Forum Options

[NEFF Admin]

For those of you who didn't get the memo, there are 2 new forums on this site. Topics within these forums will only display on the front page if you're a member of the Private forums group.

Because it's private, it doesn't mean that it's a NEFF Clan, cult, or other type of secret society within our little world of fly fishing. Therefore, secret handshakes, body gestures, or passwords are not needed to get in.

Before I tell everyone how to gain access, I'll quickly explain what you may find in this private area. You will find very little censorship (The site rules hardly apply in this area). If curse words, nude photos, political talk, religion, Ralph, or any type of controversial subjects bother you, please don't ask for access and everyone will get along just fine. Although the private forums may contain some of the aforementioned material, the focus of this website is still fly fishing. Fly Fishing will be discussed in ways that you've never even thought of. I'm partially kidding... But, if you're not into some of the controversial subject matter that does occasionally venture into this site, then again, please don't ask for access. If you do ask for access and you're offended by the material you find in there, simply ask to be removed from the private forum and we'll take care of it as soon as we can.

So... What exactly is required to have access to the private forum? Simply send a Private Message or Email and you will be added.

As usual, if anyone has any comments / suggestions, please feel free to ask.

Thank You,

What is the actual purpose of having a forum like this? It will be a breeding ground for controversy that will eventually carry to the public threads.

Oh come on FT, you were perfectly ok with controversy ON the public threads when it suited your purpose. Of course, for some time you've stayed above the fray, but have a little faith in those that moderate the site to keep any of the negative crap where it belongs, in this new forum. There will be no excuses for people to post the "no holds barred" controversial stuff anywhere but there. Time will tell, but I think that it will make the "public threads" more civilized.

There's a place for everything, and I think we've so far been having fun at our own costs. The only people who see the new forums are the people who REQUEST access to it.

FYI: There are two public forums, one that is about fly fishing, the other is not. I thought that by putting these in place, everyone would be happy... The two new forums so far only have a few new posts, but they've been entertaining! As you can see from the postings, censorship is at a very minimun.
