posticon ***Rules and reasons for restricted membership - PLEASE READ***


I decided to create an area of this board which was restricted in order that people could have a protected environment for discussing methods that they would rather not share with the general public for whatever reason. This may because the information might have safety risks, or simply because it has taken them years of hard work, dedication, and in many cases a lot of money to acquire such knowledge, and they simply don't want to give it away for free.

The rules for membership to the restricted areas are as follows:

1) You MUST be over 18.

2) You must either be. A: A professional sideshow or escape artist, or. B: Connected closely with one of those two professions. You might be a sideshow historian for instance, or be a maker of props for the escape community.

3) Unless you are already known to and can be vouched for by a member of staff here you must be able to show that you meet the above criteria.

Please note that any information contained here and in any other of this forum is just that, information. It is not a learning tool. No sideshow skills should be attempted on the basis of what is contained in this or any other forum. Sideshow skills should be learnt, in person, from a professional, not from a book and not from the internet. The same goes for many escape skills. Which often carry there own risks of injury or death.

Also, how do you know that the information you read here or anywhere else is accurate? If you attempt ANY dangerous skill using information you find on the net you are taking the very real chance that you are acting on false information, and that you will end up hurt or even killed. So don't do it!

Again, this forum is intended for sideshow and escape artists to discuss our art. Not for learning new skills. No one here is responsible for your safety, nor is anyone here responsible for your actions. If you haven't got a professional on hand IN PERSON to teach you. Don't try!

PLEASE NOTE: If the staff here have to refuse your application to enter the restricted areas please don't take it personally! It will not be, let me assure you of that. The decision will be final, but completely without prejudice. It might take a couple of days to make a decision and sort it all out. Myself, and everyone I think that will help out here are all working acts with far to little time on our hands, and with higher commitments than moderating a forum (such as the tricky business of making enough money to actually eat once in a while). So don't think you are being ignored if you don't hear back for a day or two emoticon

Lastly, enjoy the forum!

ADDITIONAL AND VERY IMPORTANT!!!

Please make sure you have posted somewhere here at least once before you apply for restricted access. If you haven't I cannot send you a PM to let you know whether or not you have been invited in. Not my fault, just the way this forum is scripted. People have already asked for access without ever posting. Result, they probaly think I am ignoring there request when in fact I have dealt with it.
