Also, avatars do not show up in the listings unless one is logged in.

So, which part is public and which part is members? I'm a little confused.

River,

When one becomes a dues-paying member, a new list of forums will show up when he logs in, in addition to the currently-visible forums.

Up at the top of the screen for this thread, you'll see where it says:

MaleSurvivor >> Forums >> MaleSurvivor Public Forums >> Off Topic >> just a friendly warning

There's a whole other set of forums on the Members side, similar to the ones on the Public side. So this post is on the public side, but there are other forums that become available once you become a dues-paying member. Which is kind of nice, because you can talk about different things there that you might not necessarily want out on the public side.

Let me reiterate that if something has happened that has made you uncomfortable here on this site, tell a moderator so we can check into it. We do our best to make sure the site is as safe as it can be, and your help makes that easier for us.

Don't worry about seeming paranoid- I would rather someone report a vague feeling of unease rather than let it slide. If you report something, we'll look into it and let you know if everything is okay, or take action if it's needed.

We're here for you guys- feel free to PM any of the moderators at any time.
