I was unsure whether I would even re-open the forums after being closed for near on two years. To be honest, the software is out-of-date and will need to be completely re-vamped in the not too distant future. That may prove to be a big job, it may not.
So I thought what i would do for now is re-open the board... send out invitations to re-join and start from there. If people come back and use the forums, I will keep them open and make plans to update the software.
In the meantime, I am going to close registration, to ensure a more maintenance free environment - no spammers - no illicit bots. This means that if you try to return and cannot remember your login credentials, you will not be able to just create a new account. That's by design because it makes a lot more sense for me to try and allow the user to keep his old account by working with them to gain access.
If some of the community come back, we will work together to establish new rules, new forums, and decide what to do with archiving older posts. This community has always tried to be about the community and not individuals.
Lastly, if you're reading this, i just want to say, "Welcome Back!!"
I look forward to re-connecting with you... finding out how your lives are going... talk bout this Redsk... oops sorry, this Washington Football Team. Wow, some things have REALLY changed since last time you were here.
So please... sound off, say hello, and thanks for your patronage!!!- Mark
I don’t know about the rest of you guys but I typed in
