Effective: March 2026
Acceptance
By using The Order of the Forge website (orderoftheforge.org) and forum (forum.orderoftheforge.org), you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the site.
User Accounts
Forum registration requires a valid email address. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and for all activity under it. Use your real first name or a consistent handle — anonymous throwaway accounts undermine brotherhood.
Acceptable Use
You agree to abide by our Community Guidelines. In summary: treat others as brothers, engage in good faith, post nothing illegal or pornographic, and do not spam. The full guidelines govern all community interactions.
Intellectual Property
All original content on the main site — text, design, logos, the Order seal — is the property of The Order of the Forge. You may not reproduce it without permission.
You retain ownership of content you post on the forum. By posting, you grant The Order of the Forge a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display, distribute, and archive your content as part of the forum’s operation.
Disclaimers
The Order of the Forge is a community of laymen, not a professional services provider. Content on this site and forum does not constitute professional advice — spiritual, medical, fitness, legal, or financial. Consult qualified professionals for specific guidance.
Fitness and training content is shared for informational purposes. Train responsibly and consult a physician before beginning any new exercise program.
Affiliate Disclosure
Some pages contain affiliate links (primarily to Amazon). If you purchase through these links, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This helps support the site and community. Affiliate relationships do not influence our recommendations.
Limitation of Liability
The Order of the Forge is provided “as is.” We make no warranties about the accuracy, reliability, or availability of the site or forum. We are not liable for damages arising from your use of the site, forum, or any content posted by users.
Termination
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate any user account that violates these terms or the Community Guidelines, at our sole discretion and without prior notice.
Changes
We may update these terms. Material changes will be noted with a new effective date. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
