What is the Banjo Holler?

The Banjo Holler is intended to be a social site where banjoists and other acoustic musicians can exchange information, resources, and conversation on a variety of related topics.


How do I find a moderator?

You can contact a moderator by posting a message on the Help! I Need Somebody board (located in the Get Ready to Holler forum), or by sending an email to mods@banjoholler.com


Who can join the Banjo Holler?

Anyone may join, as long as you are at least 13 years old. Because personal information is collected during the registration process, children under the age of 13 are not allowed to join the site. See the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) at http://www.coppa.org/coppa.htm


Why aren't there corporate sponsors?

At the outset, the administrators of the Banjo Holler decided to forgo any corporate sponsorship of the site.  We feel this will allow us to remain unbiased and avoid the appearance of bias in favor of specific businesses.  We are able to maintain the site because the server and bandwidth have been donated by New England Media. The administrators and moderators are volunteers. On occasion the Banjo Holler may allow for free advertising on its homepage by businesses that we feel have something to offer to the membership. These businesses however will have no financial stake in the site.


Why is the Fireworks Board limited in membership? How do I gain access to this board?

The Fireworks board is intended for "mature audiences" and therefore has limited access. Members must contact either an administrator (admin@banjoholler.com) or moderator (mods@banjoholler.com) via email and request permission to access this board.  Once on the board, the member should be aware that they may find some postings offensive.  The board is moderated, but to a lesser degree than other boards on the site.  If you are easily offended, then do not access this board. Regardless of the restrictions, pornography and obscene material will not be allowed anywhere on the Banjo Holler site.


How will my privacy be protected?

The administrators and moderators of the Banjo Holler will never give out personal information about you including, but not limited to, your email or IP addresses. Information that you make visible to the site membership through your profile or posts is your responsibility.

The Banjo Holler also complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) by not collecting any personal information from those under the age of 13. COPPA may be viewed at http://www.coppa.org/coppa.htm
