On behalf of the Owners, Administrators, and Moderators, welcome to the GliderCENTRAL Home Page. We have been serving the sugar glider community for ten years now with more than 275,000 posts for the purpose of sharing sugar glider information while providing a family type of atmosphere. Both veteran and new members are welcome. Our main mission is to help Sugar Gliders and their owners with illness questions or general glider care.
We are strictly a G rated board and do not approve of flaming or bashing. This board will not be involved in name calling, gossip or drama.
If you have any problems or questions, please contact one of our Moderators, Administrators or the Owner.
We would like to thank everyone for making GliderCENTRAL what it is and we are glad to have you all.
Have fun, and we will strive to give all the help we can for you.

We have now changed rule 8 back to the way it was written prior to the cbb rule change. Any member who expressed they did not want to participate with the rule change will regain their classified privileges back shortly. This time I gave it longer before I set the option to agree to the rules. Originally I stated I would give 12 hours, but I gave it over 24 hours.
Again we thank you all for your patience, understanding, and opportunity to make changes. It will take time, but a post will be made to collect the communities input.

Let us first start out with an apology to everyone in the community. The Round Table formed the Community Buyer Beware because we felt it was a good solution to a long term problem. Since there are buyer bewares set up on many forums, and the constant questioning of why one forum cannot add it to their site since another did it on theirs. We saw this as an opportunity to be collectively able to do what the community has been asking for a long time now. So we apologize for this and will ask that everyone can try to put that aside and hopefully open up the lines of communication.
What the RT has decided is to put the Community Buyer Beware on hold temporarily. We say temporarily as we do think there is potential for this project and if we open up a civil discussion with the community we just may find a solution for the Community Buyer Beware and continue.
With that being said, GC will remove the new rule, and the old rule will return. This will be announced here and via the GliderCENTRAL News that appears on the portal page. A scrolling banner will be placed in the header and posted on facebook linking to the announcement. After that announcement we give everyone a longer chance to read, we will roughly 12 hours later enable the option that users would need to check the check box to agree to the rules. This will override everyone's agreement to abide to the new rule 8 that dealt with the cbb, and revert back to the old rule 8 that was in place 2 days ago. After that, anyone one who had stated they agreed to the rules, but not the cbb classified rules will regain their classified privileges.
Now with that out of the way. We are asking that everyone give us a chance to regroup and catch up with the concerns that have been expressed. This could take some time, so we are asking for your patience. After we have had a chance to review and discuss it, each site will open a thread as not everyone goes to or is a member of all the forums. This thread will be used to ask for suggestions from the community on how and or what would need to be changed, done, not done to make the Community Buyer Beware a welcomed, honest, project the community can use. The RT will read, discuss what input the community has brought to our attention and see what can be changed to better fit the community. After we do that, we will bring what was collected back to the community to see if that is what is wanted and needed. Again we will listen to what is being said and if needed make the appropriate changes again.
Please use this post for discussion

We will be making a change to our rules later this evening/tomorrow. This is being done now that the CBB is running. Users will have to agree to these rules after I make the change, by checking you read and agree. If one wants to use GC they will need to accept these rules. If one chooses they want to use GC but does not want the new rules applied to them, please let me know and we will remove privileges to the classifieds and you may continue.
If you do not agree to these and currently have an add, please let us know by pm and we will remove the ad(s) and classified privileges. Here is what the new disclaimer will read in regards of the classifieds.
********By advertising on GliderCENTRAL or soliciting from a vendor and having had ANY contact that relates to a purchase from said vendor either through a post or the pm system of GliderCENTRAL, you have waived your rights and are allowing your information to be brought to the CBB should a complaint be made against you.
You have also waived your rights and are allowing your information to be used by the CBB if the complaint is found to be warranted [all warranted claims causing any party or parties to be listed on the CBB MAY also be transferred to a listing on the individual Buyer Beware list(s) of GliderCENTRAL].
Non-warranted claims may NOT be transferred to any other site’s buyer beware list; however, a separate claim may STILL be made against you on a(n) individual site(s) (said claim will require submittal of all information because information submitted to the CBB may not used or transferred for use in claims on individual sites).
This applies to both buyers and sellers.
The owners and admin of GliderCENTRAL define advertising as: any direct post about any item or glider for sale, or any links used on GliderCENTRAL, whether those links be posted in threads, signatures or profiles, including those leading to outside websites where the item(s) and/or glider(s) is/are sold.
GliderCENTRAL, its employees, agents, directors, owners, affiliates, representatives, corporate successors or licensors, ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR INJURY or any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, general, aggravated, punitive, slander or similar or other damages arising out of statements appearing on or your use of this (insert site name) or any action or statement in response to material posted on this GliderCENTRAL or on the CBB.
YOU HEREBY WAIVE ANY AND ALL CLAIMS AGAINST GliderCENTRAL, its employees, agents, directors, owners, affiliates, representatives, corporate successors and licensors, however arising, from your use of GliderCENTRAL and/or any statement or information appearing on GliderCENTRAL.
GliderCENTRAL reserves the right to change the terms, conditions, and notices under which this Site is offered. Use of GliderCENTRAL is unauthorized in any jurisdiction that does not give effect to all provisions of these terms and conditions, including without limitation this paragraph.********

At some point this year we will be making a large upgrade to the forum software used for GliderCENTRAL. For those who have been around, this will be a bigger and much more than the major upgrade we did in 2006.
This upgrade will bring a lot of nice features to GliderCENTRAL and allow us to continue expanding as we move forward.In order to continue to deliver more sophisticated features and performance, members will need to use the latest improvements in web browser technology.
Because of this we will not be able to cater to older browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 and other older browsers that are not supported by their own manufacturers. Now this does not mean if you have those older browsers you will not be able to view or use GliderCENTRAL. It just means that if you do have older browsers, you will not be able to view or use all of the new features, visual enhancements, and so forth like you would with a newer modern browser.
The modern browser will be Internet Explorer 7.0 and above, Safari 3.0 and above, and GliderCENTRAL browser of choice Firefox 3.0 and above.
As we get closer(which may not be a for a few months) users using these older browsers will see a message on their screen suggesting a browser upgrade.
