Elliot Lake Online Community Forum

The message board is back online.

There are some changes in the format and functioning of the board,
so please read this very carefully.

The board will no longer be monitored.  If there are offensive
postings, you will have to contact the administrator
(from the link on the board) and report it.

You will have to
register using a user name and password.
You DO have to submit a working email address.
(Your e-mail address will be verified randomly on occasion and if
it is not a working email, your account will be deleted without notice)
Your email address will not be shown on the board unless
you want it to (you have the option to hide it).

Once you register, your account will have to be activated
and you will get an email notifying you.  Then you will be able
to post on the board.  If you forget your password
you will require the email address to retrieve it. You can only
register with one email address, so if you forget and try to
re-register with that same email address, it will not be accepted.
(Your email address will not be used for any other purpose.)

Your IP address will not show on posts
but
will be available to the administrator.

You will be responsible for anything that you post and please be
aware that you assume all liability for your postings, whether
it is copyright infringement, libelous posts, or any other.
Elliot Lake Online is rated for children, so please post appropriately.


Now for the legal stuff - IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.
