I run the internet radio station at my school and am thinking of creating a forum for school radio station (at other schools, not just mine) personalities and managers. Here's my draft TOS. Let me know what you think. (I know it's a little long, but please bare with me).

Well, we're a public charter school and students are spread out across at least 2 counties. An FM signal just wouldn't have the range that we need, and in the longrun it's probably more expensive. Any feedback on the TOS?

Nope, we definitely have a forum for web hosting :)

You might also get some better feedback at our sister forum - WebHostingTalk.com

I just didn't consider a TOS to be in the category of web hosting, but thanks:)

Well, your topic deals with creating a forum - sure, the question is specifically about TOS, but it falls into one of the categories we have here.

Okay thanks. Any feedback? Too long? Anything I didn't cover?
