Full Disclosure!
Contrary to claims by other forum owners, Yes Jeff, I am referring to you and the Forestry Forum, those with full access to the server can, in fact, see private messages on their server. Now for me, it took a LONG time to figure out how but rest assured, I figured it out and it proved to me, NOTHING is secure when you control the server. The only reason I took the time to figure it out was to know for myself that nothing I had said on another forum was secure as I had been led to believe.
I have not, nor ever will read peoples messages as it is none of my business what you say or who you say it about. As my father always said, its none of my business what you think of me.
You should also know that it is not hard to fabricate post counts, users online, members, etc. Off the chart numbers or membership numbers are commonly used as a selling point to get sponsors.
We do not sell advertisement space, nor ask for sponsors. We provide free links to those industries of interest to those on this forum.
We do not ask, nor accept donations, or as Joasis pointed out, we don't host pity party pig roasts, although I am not against a good cookout!
Enjoy our God Given Freedom!
