Nikongear (NG) is a web community for grown-ups. Membership is open to any person age 18 years and older. A keen interest for photography should be your driving force for seeking a membership. Corporate membership is not allowed. Neither is opening an account with the intention of spamming the forums.
*****************************************************************************************
You are obliged to disclose your full name during registration in a field ONLY seen by Nikongear Administration. Sorry, no exceptions can be given to this rule. The full name information is protected from search engine crawlers and spiders.
You are also encouraged to use your full name as a screen name ('nickname') or to place your full name in your post signature, if you have a previous handle you wish to use here on NG.
We want the member community to be open and transparent so relationships and connections between real persons can develop over time.
*****************************************************************************************
The basic membership is free of charge. You can become an NG Supporter by signing up for a subscription. We will strive to offer membership subscription at very modest rates. The NG Administrators decide whether part(s) of the site and/or features are available only to subscribers. In periods of high server load, only members will be allowed to see any attachments or pictures.
You are expected to participate on the various boards with images or discussions. Inactive members without any posts will be pruned after a predetermined period, initially set to 12 months.
Nikongear is NOT a forum for POLITICAL or RELIGIOUS issues, GUNS, or BRAND FLAMING. Any material or posts in breach of such constraints will be removed immediately and the user either warned or banned. Do respect the choices taken by other members regarding the actual gear they use.
