After numerous complaints and a loss of membership, I am forced to institute the following policy.
Topics of conspiracy theories, anti government agendas and end of world doomsday prophecies will no longer be allowed.
Offenders will find their first posts on these subjects deleted and they will be given a warning via PM.
A second warning will not be issued, they will simply be banned.
Members come here to learn about prepping techniques and many have requested that their accounts be deleted due to these types of posts.
Please keep discussions related to prepping and if you feel that this forum does not cater to your beliefs, please find another forum.

Alternative site for those that dont need the worry about arbitrary bans. (Arbitrary: ar·bi·trar·y
/ˈärbiˌtrerē/Adjective
1.Based on random choice or personal whim, rather than any reason or system.
2.(of power or a ruling body) Unrestrained and autocratic in the use of authority.
Thats exactly what this is because it IS a private forum and it IS what was written.
I had a long thing written out but deleted it since it probably would make no difference on the matter. So if you are interested it is relatively new but worth a look and could be good for those of us who talk beyond homesteading.

Mission Statement
by Denob » Sun Jan 27, 2013 11:36 am
The International Preppers Network forum exists to promote the idea of personal responsibility in regards to preparedness in the face of natural and manmade disasters. It is the mission of the administrator to bring this idea to the forefront of mainstream thinking and bring everyone into the mindset of being ready to feed and protect themselves and their loved ones in the face of tragedy. Disasters can take many forms from a loss of family income to devastating incidents that disrupt infrastructure and the normal distribution of goods and services that support the basic human needs of food, water, shelter, and security. It is the mission of this forum to inform people of the true and realistic dangers that put these basic human needs at risk and to teach each other ways to mitigate and protect ourselves from these dangers.
