And along the way we&#039;ve learned a lot, mostly from making mistakes. But then that&#039;s what you&#039;re supposed to do with mistakes, learn from them.

What it should tell you is that prior to that date - there were no written rules for members to read and follow. And yet the forum started in Sept. of 2002. So for 5 1/2 years, no written rules for members to read and follow. And trust me, it was a mess at times. Trying to regulate things, control things, keep the peace and maintain order - it was a job that simply couldn&#039;t be done. So rules had to be written, and posted where everybody could see them, read them, and follow them - or suffer the consequences.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are reasons, good reasons, why the rules and CT policies are what they are. But primarily they&#039;re all what they are so we can provide a civil, family friendly, environment where people who love this hobby can share it with others of a like mind.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
