i found this posted on the hip forums and i'm reposting it here for ya'll
"Hey Now. Tattoo Joe here once again. Had a long ( for me ) discussion with a Forst Service LEo named Jeff last night at Farles Lake. First thing he asked me was if I was aware that they are going to be enforcing the 14 day limit to stay in the forest. After which one has to LEAVE the forest completely for 16 days. I asked a few times what that meant, and he kept repeating 'everyone'. This didn't seem to affect the hunters, but more like it was specifically aimed at us rainbow types. I also asked the same question in a different form, like I said " Is that per vehicle?" And he kept evading on the answer and said 'everyone'. This of course doesn't affect the hunters. Just us nefarious freedom loving types. Of course, the hunters don't try to get out of paying to be in the forest. That was a bone of contention with him (them, the LEOs), nothing outright said- but he kinda nodded over towards the blissware-less kids and their messy camp. After talking to us he headed directly over to their camp and told them the same thing, with the added warning that tomorrow (today) they were coming out to audit the pay sites and will be ticketing anyone who hasn't paid. I later kicked down 5 bucks to them to pay for today at least, but I doubt they will. Anyways, I also asked what the scoop is with the gathering itself, and was told that he's a LEO, and the permit part is a completely different entity of the FS. He did say that Pat is still the permit issuer. Other than that, nothing new on the Ocala front at the south end anyways."
