Welcome to the NEW and improved Betep's Page 0!
The last free site was closed with the following announcement from Boardnation.com

"Most of you with free message boards have probably noticed by now the lack of Google Ads being displayed on your board. Google has made a decision to ban Boardnation from their Adsense program, because they found one of our message board customers posting some questionable material which violated Google’s Terms of Service. It also violated Boardnation’s Terms of Service. We removed the board immediately after it was reported to us, and I asked Google to reconsider BN for their Adsense program, but they have so far refused.

Being unable to display Google ads has forced us into a position to no longer offer free message boards, at least for the undefined future. Those of you with free message boards (either with or without ads) will need to upgrade to a paid plan by June 5th." Read the rest

For the amount of traffic I had, I didn't think it was worth $5.00 a month to keep it open. I wasn't going to pay $100 to retrieve the data from the past
I did some research and found the company forumotion.com. They have some great reviews and an excellent up-time record with a few servers. It will take a while for me to work on the format as Admin but the user interface is pretty straight forward. Comments and suggestions are always welcome if not heeded.

What a nice surprise to wake up to! Way to go Betep

Pretty slick, huh?
I still have work to do, but I wanted to get it up and running for Page B-12 this morning.
Like all the emoticons? cheers

I have a bit more control over the general appearance than I did on the other site too. I tossed together a header last night (couldn't in last one), I'll spend some time and make something this week if the mood strikes me. affraid

Well ya! So many choices which really work too ! - < a new favorite... That obvious? oh well.

Oddly enough, the old site is still working, I hope to salvage some things from there before it gets shut down completely.

The old site is still up and running.
A new member even on February 11, 2011!

Unfortunately, kathygray@mail333.com, ip address 91.201.66.6 is a forum spammer...

Bitch didn't even leave a message! enfado

Oh well. I deleted "her"...

Re

I couldn't have said it better myself!

Re

old site: A "Notorious" forum spammer hits and doesn't even bother to leave some? That's just insulting.

Hhmmm...? For smileys? iroc

phBB (the forum host) doesn't change the clocks and they can't be changed by Admin.
Has to be done person by person.
Profile> Preferences then change at the bottom and Save. Idea
