Notice from Boardhost
So I received this today, which means for you, no ads and any additional features that I can add on from here on out.

During this time, your forum will not contain advertising or branding, and will have access to our additional Premium Forum Service features.

Re: Notice from Boardhost
Aaugh!
How many regular posters do we have here? Maybe we could chip in a little each month or something to defray the costs? I'd recommend a different, free board system, but I don't know one.
(Or maybe just some sort of "tip jar"?)

Yeah, that’s too bad. However, it’s probably not worth it.

Re: Notice from Boardhost
There's no need to chip in, although I appreciate the notion. I just wanted everyone to know that if I am paying for the board I will get us all of the bells and whistles that I can. I don't want to go through the fuss of moving the boards only for them to become a paying situation too, and I don't want to take them down either, we still have years to go and I might have a big announcement coming up with Garnett Elliott, so we are fine.

Look forward to the announcement! I'm a big fan of Garnett's stuff. (And, obviously, this board.)

I appreciate everyone on the boards and even the zillions of bots for trying. Once they get it right and stop answering with Bill of Lading we might have a fight on our hands, but we can handle that too.

Have there been problems with lots of bots trying to join?

Re: Notice from Boardhost
Roughly 250-275 bots try to join for every one human we get. The answers to the question range from Bill of Lading to Book of Life to just /.

Re: Notice from Boardhost
That sucks. I remember it took me a few months and a couple tries to get in a while back so I can understand why my entry was lost in the swell of spam bots.
