Welcome to Ohio Camp Cooks forums. I hope you enjoy the boards and find them useful. I have allowed access to most of our boards for guests enabling them to be viewed without the necessity of registering or creating an account. You will discover that some of them may even be used by unregistered guests to post messages. If you do not intend to become a member or use the boards to share your input please don't bother to create an account for yourself. Nothing is more discouraging than seeing a membership roster where none of the members have ever posted to the forums. If you would like to create an account and become a member of the forums feel free to do so. There is no charge. We do not sell your e-mail address and have gone to pains to protect it from net spiders and bots. It is only used to advise you when a thread you are watching is modified or when something of import to Ohio Camp Cooks or the membership is happening. If you establish an account then fail to visit for 180 days or more, your account will be deleted without notice. The same holds true for accounts that are not activated or that contain invalid email addresses. I do this to lighten the workload for the folk who are responsible for membership- follow-ups, birthday cards, and such. I figure that if you don't want to visit then you don't want to be bothered so.... It's your decision and no one will twist your arm. Have fun and enjoy!
If you should find yourself in the midst of browsing and are then suddenly disconnected or access is cut off, you have probably stumbled onto an ISP who allows robots to access their equipment and my software at this end has recognized the ISP server and reacted violently.! It is also possible that your ISP server has been recognized as a site which for whatever reason I have either denied or restricted access. These things are done to protect the privacy of our members so please bear with us. Normally , if you encounter this situation it can be corrected simply by registering and activating an account. If this doesn't work then send me an e-mail and I'll see if I can fix the problem.
I have but one rule which must be respected at all times. That is; "Treat everyone with courtesy and respect until they show they really do not deserve such." I will not tolerate posts that are intentionally, malicious or demeaning to another member or are mean spirited in nature. Posts which I determine violate this rule I will remove or alter at my discretion and advise the originator of the post at my earliest opportunity.
Your cooperation in making this an entertaining, informative forum to visit is greatly appreciated.
