If you are thinking about Registering as a New User, Please READ!

MODIFIED FEBRUARY 2009:

With thanks to the computer wizard Walt, we no longer have much of a spam registration problem. However I do still review each user application.

A few guidelines you should know:

We no longer permit any discussion of Survivors of the Ekaterinburg murders as anything other than the history of such claims being false.  There is no longer any scientific question on the subject and as we are a historical discussion site, not a fantasy site, nobody may discuss anyone actually having "survived" .  You may question the testing procudures, but not the results.

We allow the generic discussion of re-incarnation, however NOBODY WILL BE PERMITTED TO CLAIM THEY ARE THE REINCARNATION OF A ROMANOV OR OTHER ROYAL.  TAKE THAT NONSENSE ELSEWHERE.

We require civility and courtesy at all times. You may disagree with someone, but you must respect them as individuals.  NO FLAMING, NO SLANDER AND NO PERSONAL ATTACKS.

Otherwise, we welcome you here to learn, share and have fun.

Thanks Rob and Bob.

Thanks for the heads-up

An update to the modification I made above.

We do NOT permit advertising or spam of any kind.  This includes links to ebay or auctions, and selling of any kind.  We do make exceptions for unusual circumstances, so should you want to link to an auction of Imperial Russian items, contact me FIRST.

NO SELLING in the Forum. PERIOD.

[Thank you so much, Irina of Russia(Elizie) 4 my banner & avatar!"Friends come & go in our lives,but a few find places so deep in our hearts that we know they will always be with us."]

I hope those e-bay sellers can't avail AP forum's connection forever. Wink
Thanks for these guidelines, Sir.

Thank you for the beautiful, safe website! I was able to learn so much about books I had no idea even existed.  I am acquiring those books slowly and savoring them, going back to golden times long forgotten by so many, but not we here!The site and everyone in it share my passion for this incredible history, and I discover such a wealth of true tenderness and love for the incomparable Romanovs.

I posted this on another thread, but it bears repeating here, to all those thinking about registering to participate in the Forum:

While this Forum is free to the public to READ, which in fact Bob insists upon so that anyone interested may freely share in the knowledge and information here, the simple FACT remains that the privilege of being an active registered user/poster/participant is not something just anybody has any "right" to have.  This Forum is Bob's personal property. In fact, it is not even hosted on his company, Pallasart's, servers.  While we welcome all genuine users, those who threaten, disrupt, conspire, attack, disparage, libel, attack, spam, harass, "flame", slander, libel, disrespect others and disregard our rules are NEVER welcome here and we are under no obligation to allow them access to this private space, nor to tolerate their behavior once here.

I have said it before and is worth repeating:  Registering to use the forum is akin to asking Bob to come into his private home. Users must respect this place and Bob, me, all the Mods and all other users and our Rules just AS IF a guest in his residence. Period. If you don't, you simply are not welcomed to participate.  Notice Bob's generosity however, that NO ONE is ever prevented from reading the Forum, to freely and without restraint access the information we provide.
