Speaking of conference, hold on to your hats.

That's great! I'll see about changing stylesheets or removing the 'members' section to make it fit.

I'm not sure if Abana has an official youtube. However, you can see some video from their conference here: http://il.youtube.com/user/BobbyTDesigns

And I believe we're done.

This topic has been discussed before, just not this in depth. Here are the loose ends you may be seeking. At one point, we discouraged user hot linking to Anvil Fire images at the absurd request of Jock Dempsey. The issue, as I recall, was not copying the images to IForgeIron or another server. The bandwidth argument is invalid. After a while, I felt as the request assumed our users were amoral or criminal. Hot Linking (Posting images from another site's server), is legal. It's ethical. It's honest. Jock can get over it or disable it on his server. Jock's policy for IForgeIron, Forge Magic, and others has been to remove links, remove posts, edit logs, and other forms of censorship. This is Jock's policy alone, and not that of Anvil Fire patrons. Our official stance is not to link to Anvil Fire and other Jock Dempsey projects from our website. We do this out of protest for Jock's reckless behavior. Glenn and I, love blacksmithing and its community. We support all open forms of metalworking, whether it be an individual or website. Don Fogg's knife forum is one I particularly admire. And KeenJunk is missed. ----- m_brothers, I sent you a private message. You know why. If Jock had made this request, the reply would have been worded differently.

When Alan broke rules on several instances we let it slide; unlike those instances, he tried to remove all his postings with ill intention and intent to hurt I Forge Iron as a whole. He was banned from the site.

When a user is banned, there is no going back. When Alan broke rules on several instances we let it slide; unlike those instances, he tried to remove all his postings with ill intention and intent to hurt I Forge Iron as a whole.

I can restore most of his posts until the last week or two. Just comes down to if I want to give it effort, pretty busy working on things for the first of the year. Also, as regards to an earlier post: yes, editing had been purposely turned off for a reason. Do not question the admin's again.

Welcome! Feel free to not only ask or answer questions but contribute with opinions and educational material. Education is not always a one way process but an inventive key to multiple locks.

Don't worry about asking questions if old posts don't hit the hammer on the nail. Our search engines are pretty good, but more detail can always be given. Glad to see another person interested.

Welcome Larry, glad to have you around.
