PLEASE READ!

For those of you who are unfamiliar with Usenet, the best description I've seen is at

http://www.faqs.org/faqs/usenet/what-is/part1
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/usenet/what-is/part2

No one "owns" Usenet and the groups that are gatewayed into TattooFans.com are completely unmoderated. The feed that we provide is a service to the users, and is just a gateway into another discussion area. You are liable to see flaming, links to ads and porn sites and a whole bunch of really objectionable stuff if you look hard enough.

But, as you continue to look, you'll see some real gems of information and some very knowledgeable folks.

Once again, TattooFans doesn't own Usenet, has no control over its content and the feeds are provided without any interference (or moderation) from us here.

Usenet can be harsh at times - and it's definitely not for the fainthearted, but I think providing an uncensored newsfeed provides more of a service to the tattoo community than filtering content would.

To sum things up:

- Internal forums on TattooFans.com are moderated.
- External feeds like Usenet are not. Read/post at your own risk!
