Permission to Post:
Guests who are not signed in can read the forums, but to start new topics you need to be a registered member. Just sign in, and write something. Anything you have to say that relates to the mission and purpose of the web site will be allowed.
Allowed Forum topics:
I’ve tried to set up some broad categories of interest to old time radio. If the need arises I can add more. If you have something to say about old time radio in general, or about the various genres in the forums, or about any of the shows I have in the podcast, it’s fair game. Even if your topic is loosely related to a show, characters in the shows, requests for a particular show, opinions about the shows, go for it. I’d like to hear what you think about these old radio classics.
What isn’t allowed:
Foul language and flaming. This site is all about clean entertainment, please respect the opinions of others, and stay clear of language that wouldn’t pass the censorship of what you might hear in the shows that are represented in the podcast.
Spam.
If the sole content of your post is to sell a product or service, the administrator will remove it. If you don’t have anything to say about one of the shows, or about old time radio in general, don’t post it here.
Signatures:
If you have a business, web page, something to sell, or any self promotion this is the place to put it. Add the link to your site, catch phrase, or whatever promotional slogans you want to use to sell your product or service here. Just don’t make it the only thing you post. If people want to visit, or buy it, they can click through.
Actions for breaking the rules:
As soon as an infraction comes to the notice of the site admin, the offending post will be edited or removed, at the discretion of the administrator. If the problem persists, the member may be banned, or have their account blocked.
