Fishing-Headquarters.com was
officially established in 2007 for
the purpose to freely exchange
relevant information relating to the
sport of fishing through postings
such as questions, informational
posts, fishing tips and tricks,
field reports and images. It first
began in 2005 as a small homepage
for its owner, Andrew Ragas, and has
since then grown into a
larger-than-expected website to
accommodate other fishermen and website members.
Our forum membership strives to have
fun friendly and civilized fishing
discussion for the pursuit of all
species of fish, to learn about
fishing from others in order to make
ourselves better anglers, and to
even make new friends and fishing
buddies alike.

Access
to other Web Sites:
This
web site may contain links to third
party web sites such as links and affiliates. Those web sites are not
under the control of Fishing-Headquarters.com
and most have no affiliation with
Fishing-Headquarters. The links are
provided for convenience and
informational purposes only, and
will not be allowed for advertising
and promotions.
External Links & Reciprocation Rule:
Fishing-Headquarters allows, to an
extent, external links to other
websites and outside resources but
for informational purposes only. We
are tolerant of external links being
posted as long as content is
acceptable, and is not related to
outside advertisements and
promotions, competing websites, and
conflicts of interest.
Website
members and visitors may have
personal websites and blogs they
link their posts to but only for
purposes of advertising, increasing
their own web traffic and personal
readership. This results in taking
advantage of Fishing-Headquarters
and using our "paid-for" domain as a
free personal advertising platform.
Some
links in certain situations are
blatantly posted to direct all
Fishing-Headquarters website traffic
to the link owner domains, which is
frowned upon. Continuously made
without any form of reciprocation
and permission will result in future
blockages of links and possible
membership termination. Other than
Fishing-Headquarters sponsors and
advertisers, and other RagasMedia
owned media properties and domains,
we do not allow outside parties and
organizations to be advertised and
linked on this website without
permission of ownership, and
willingly continued reciprocation by
the third parties. Preferred means
of reciprocation are image banners
w/ links, designed and furnished by
Fishing-Headquarters, that can be
visibly displayed at the domains
willing to reciprocate.
According to established rule,
personal links are only accepted in
membership user profiles in spaces
provided such as profile website
sections, and post signatures;
Accessible in user control panel.
External websites and links will NOT
be allowed to serve as main contents
in posts for purposes of advertising
and driving traffic away from
Fishing-Headquarters. Postings will
be erased and deleted without
notice.
Limitation Of Liability:
Your
use of this web site is at your own
risk. Subject to any terms implied
by law which cannot be excluded,
Fishing-Headquarters.com and its
owner, Andrew Ragas, shall not be
responsible or liable in your
negligence of website usage, or your
participation at website-sanctioned
fishing outings and events.
Responsibilities as a Registered
Member:
Website
ownership holds all members
accountable of their words and
actions, and failure to comply with
the above will result in
termination. Please be responsible
with your use of words and actions
so that discussion forum members and
visitors do not feel violated or get
offended.
Resulting from the ignorance, lack
of consideration and agreement to
our rules, offenders of improper
website and forum etiquette will
receive stern warnings of their poor
and irresponsible actions. If
continuously repeated, disregarded,
and violated, forum staff and
administration holds the right to
terminate your account and username
on a permanent basis. We will not
regret our decisions to do so. In
addition, your user IP address will
be banned from the database as well.
These rules are to be enforced in
order to keep a fun friendly,
professional, and
peaceful environment at the website
and its discussion forums, and to
cater itself to a large demographic
of fishermen and website visitors
alike. Being a member of this
website is not a right, but a
privilege. Treat ones personal piece
of property as if it were a piece of
your own.
