Noob Intro and a question, please.

[Heartlander]

Howdy, I'm Kent in Kansas City. Retired. Brand new to the hobby/business/obsession. I joined BF as I am a big believer in internet forums and have been a member and moderator of several over the years.

I have a question. In the Read Before You Post section it lays out all the forums, ending in the Pirate Cove. Then it lists the Do Not rules. Rule No. 1 is Don't post about knives!

Now, I'm confused. It sounds like you are talking about a particular forum, like Pirate Cove, but it appears in the general list of rules. Is this a knife forum where you can't post about knives? Or am I just reading the damn thing wrong (wouldn't be the first time)? I know on the British Knives forum they won't let you post about the use or effects of knives, no blood or tactics stuff apparently. Which is fine.

I know it sounds stupid maybe, but I just want to get clear on where I'm not supposed to post about knives.

Thanks. I appreciate the opportunity to hang out here with you guys and hopefully learn a lot about knife making. Glad to be here.

Is this the page you're referring to?

It refers to the Community Center and Community Discussion forums, our area for other than knife related discussions.


This is Forum Home, our list of all Bladeforums areas:

The Tech support area is pretty much the only part of the forum not specifically about knives. Everywhere else your good to go, keeping in mind the type or company forums are for those specific brands and types of knives. General is for pretty much everything else. So welcome to the forum and have fun. Read and enjoy and join in.

Eddited to add I forgot about the community forums. So listen to Esav he's a great guy.

take it easy
