DOWNLOAD HELP


The basic ground rules for discussions on CLC Radio forums are simple: be polite, think before you send, don't break a law and don't post any media that is copyrighted - not belonging to you.

In order to participate AND post in these forums, JavaScript MUST be enabled on your computer at all times - no exceptions.  The moment our JavaScript stops running is the moment you will see a 404 Error page.  We run a script (java) that will identify your EXTERNAL IP AND INTERNAL IP addresses.  These we will use to set up your initial account.  If you don't believe that we know how to do this, enable JavaScript (temporarily if you use Mozilla) and click this link for an example:  Click to find your External AND Internal IP address

We don't intend to censor messages based on the opinions expressed within posts, but we will enforce the policies outlined both here and in the Forum. We reserve the right to remove, modify or move posts at our discretion and without explanation. Modified posts will be marked as such.  If you have any questions, please e-mail the Community Leaders here If you do not understand any of the rules, guidelines or policies outlined below.

"Ignorance is bliss!", is dead to us.  Suspension of your account is a definite consequence of not knowing or not adhering to these guidelines.

In addition to the rules posted here, members are required to read any individual forum rules which may be posted at the top of specific forums as Important threads or Announcements. CLC Radio forum administrators and moderators assume members have read them, and will not take ignorance of any rules as an excuse for not following any rules, policies, and guidelines outlined here, and in the forum specific rules.
