The VAF Forum posting rules: (updated 3/16/08)

The VAF Forums were conceived to be an escape from the stress-inducing, sleep-depriving, 24hr treadmill that is today's working environment.  Life is complicated (and mean) enough, so this RV hobby of ours exists to nurture the dream of flight that we all keep alive in our souls.  It's supposed to be a feel good experience, and the posting rules have been written in a way to hopefully reflect that.  The rules are:

  1. Be nice.

  2. Try to keep the topic somewhat RV-related.

  3. Language and tone that would be inappropriate in the polite company of strangers and their children shouldn't be used.

Thanks again for keeping it fun and friendly,
Doug
 

   I need to remember to put out this reminder every so often.  It sure is easy for me to get complacent and start letting things slide a bit, but in the end, down the road the knowledge base suffers (I think).  Here are a few examples of some things I would appreciate not being posted in the forums:

 - selling your (non-RV) aircraft to fund the purchase of an RV (Cessna, Piper, Taylorcraft, etc).
 - video clips of crashes
 - anything political

   Having said all that, there are times when some off-RV-topic items are appropriate (ex. Unplanned TFR somewhere, baby announcement!, cool aviation show on TV that night, etc).  These are perfectly appropriate to post, but I'd ask that you post them in the TEST area.  In there they won't be permanently archived, and someone searching ten years from now won't find that TFR post.
   There are now 8,300 registered folks who can post in the forums, and I thank you again (and especially the volunteer moderators) for helping keep it on topic, civil and engaging.

Many of these folks are repeat builders.  An 'x' means they have owned,
built (or are building) a particular model.  An 'xx' indicates they have owned/built two!
