Thanks for visiting the Fulton County, Arkansas forum. Its mission is to evolve into an indispensible one-stop internet resource for residents of this fine region. Here we intend to establish a strong online community which will cover many facets of life in our geographic location. Below is a brief outline of what types of actions are/aren't supported.

First Amendment "Free Speech" position:
In an effort to keep discussions "family friendly" the forum administrator has implemented a general word wash. The U.S. Constitution allows a certain degree of latitude.

This forum and its members' profiles are viewable by anyone online, registered or not.

Also wise is opting to not display one's email address, and possibly one's personal website/blog, instant messenger(s) info, etc. Members may, at their sole discretion, exchange such information via PM. Signature tags and uploaded profile images should be in decent taste and contain no profanty or nudity.
