Terms of Use

TERMS AND CONDITIONS!

 

First - HAVE FUN!

Ok, we expect you to be respectful, to be kind and to engage with a sense of joy and good humor.  Share more positive than negative.  Talk to people on the posts, boards and the whole site with a tone between applying for a new job and chatting with family that you love and admire!  Maybe a little more chill than that as well, and you get it (we hope).

 

Second - Invite your Friends!!

Obviously, sharing with those you like to hang out with makes things more interesting.  The more people you know here, the more fun you'll have!

 

Third - Read below for all the other more boring but necessary information that is required for ANY kind of site on the internet!!
