Privacy Policy

Your account. When you register we store your display name and your email address. Your password is stored only as a one-way scrambled hash — we never see or store the password itself.

What you post. Discussions, replies, photos you upload, polls you vote in, likes, and the signature you set are stored so the forum can show them.

Private messages. Messages you send to another member are stored in the forum's system so the conversation works. They are not posted publicly.

The basics that make the site work. A sign-in cookie keeps you signed in, a preference cookie remembers your language choice, and we note when you were last active so the forum can show who is around and what is new for you.

This is a public forum. Anyone on the internet — signed in or not — can read discussions and replies, see photos posted in them, and see your display name, your rank, your signature, and your member profile. Search engines can index public pages. Please do not post anything public that you would not want the world to read, and never post someone else's private information.

Your email address is not shown publicly. We do not sell or rent email addresses.

The forum itself sends only these emails:

• Password reset — only when you ask for one, through the “Forgot password?” link.
• Reply alerts — when someone replies to your thread. You can turn these off any time under My Account.
• The weekly digest — a Monday summary of the week's discussions. You can turn it off any time under My Account.
• Replies from us — if you write to us through the Contact page, we may answer by email.

That is the whole list. The forum sends no advertising email.

You can change your signature and your email settings any time under My Account. If you want your account removed, send us a note through the Contact page and we will take care of it. Posts already made may remain visible as part of the discussions they belong to, with the account name removed.

We may update this policy as the forum grows. The current version always lives on this page.
