a result of viewing and applying the content of the forums. Aside
from moderating any given member's first 5 posts (for the purposes of
reducing spam) Pyro Universe is not responsible for screening
content before it is posted, although an offensive language filter is
installed on the system that will censor certain words deemed
offensive or used most often in an offensive way. Content found
to be in violation of the forum

administrator or moderator.

Responsibility
Each member who
registers on the Pyro Universe forums has a user name and
password. Members can choose their own user names and passwords.
Passwords are the private property of the subscriber. For
reasons of security and privacy, the Pyro Universe
administration cannot view a given member's password. If you forget
your password, you can reset it from your computer. If you forget
your user name, you can send yourself an e-mail reminder.
Users are solely
responsible for protecting their accounts from access by others. You
are strongly encouraged to select a hard-to-guess password and not
re-use that password on any other sites where it may be read by the
owners or administrators of that site.

in action taken against your account (from something as simple as a
warning to you being permanently banned from the forums). Messages
and topics may be removed at any time and for any reason at the sole
discretion of Pyro Universe administration. All determinations
of what is "acceptable" and "unacceptable"
content will be determined solely by Pyro Universe and its
administration. You agree that the decision of the moderators and
administrators is final, and you may not legally contest their
rulings.
Automatic
Data Collection
Like most Web servers
on the Internet, our servers collect and store all of the information
that your web browser sends when it requests a web page, including:
the name, domain, and numerical internet address of the
"host" computer (typically a computer belonging to your
Internet Service Provider and not your personal computer) from which
you access the Internet.
the date and time you accessed our site
the Internet address of the web page that you came from
the page you requested from our site and the number of characters
sent to your computer
the information your web browser software sends as its so-called
"User Agent," which typically identifies the browser
software and may also indicate the operating system and type of CPU
used in your personal computer
Log Files
Like most standard Web
site servers we use log files. These files include internet protocol
(IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP),
referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of
clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement
in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for
aggregate use. IP addresses, etc. are not linked to personally
identifiable information.
Cookies
"Cookies"
are bits of text data sent from a Web server to a user's computer to
be retrieved later for purposes of identification. Pyro
Universe makes use of cookies to determine whether you have
visited our site previously and to save and remember any preferences
that you set while using our site (such as your username/password on
the forums and which threads you have viewed). Our

e-mail address. Your Web browser is probably set to accept
cookies. If you would prefer not to receive cookies (or to be

officers if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that
such disclosure is reasonably necessary to respond to subpoenas,
court orders, or other legal process. Pyro Universe may

reasonably necessary to:
