Welcome to the East Side Cachers Forum!
Everyone is East of somewhere! Even though this is a Houston area forum, you don't have to be from Houston or the East Side of Houston to join and participate in the forum, you don't even have to be a geocacher. Feel free to look around as a visitor, but you will have to register and log in to post messages. Also some boards and some forum features are only available to registered members.
Whether you have one cache find or a thousand, still in the wanna be stage, or about given up the sport, it doesn't matter here. So don't be shy! If you join up, then please join in the discussions, post some comments, give us some ideas or make some suggestions, vote in the polls, ask questions, answer some--well, you get the picture--post!
Okay, now for the fine print--Rules and Regulations. Yeah, I hear the groans! Pretty much everything that needs saying has been said in the User's Agreement that you had to click to agree to before you could complete your registration. In case you haven't registered yet, or didn't read it all when you did register or some of the details have escaped you, it is copied below, along with the Proboard Terms of Service.
We will pretty much be sticking by all of that. This is to be a G-rated forum, don't post anything you wouldn't let a child read. Do not post any of the things covered in the "You agree, through your use of this forum, that you will not post any material which is.........." clause in the User's Agreement and you also agree that you will not post a link to any source outside this forum that contains such materials as listed in that same clause.
We can't monitor all of the forum all of the time, so please, if you find any objectionable material, send a private message to the one of the forum administrators or board moderators to bring it to our attention.
Thanks for stopping by and if you haven't yet, go ahead--join up and join in!
