The forum problem and how you could help

The forum hosts won’t do anything about it. Looks like if I ever want to have those ads removed, I’ll have to have ALL the ads removed, which means paying them $50. So here are the options:

- We wait until I manage to get the $50. With no allowance and hardly any starting money, that could take a long time.
- One of you hosts the forums instead. If you have your own site, maybe you could lend me a bit of that space? I’m afraid blogger doesn’t allow file uploads, which are necessary for forum boards.
- One of you pays the $50 to get the ads removed. Yeah, like that would ever happen.

Until one of these things happen, I suppose an all-ages forum board is beyond our reach.

Measures are being taken

I am doing all that I can to make spboards.com do all that they can to remove the more offensive ads on the forum board. Perhaps sometime soon, the boards can be safely browsed by a six-year old. Yeah, that’ll be when I invite Cole.

New feature in the forums

I have added the Battle of the Pics to the forums. No, this is not where you go to throw pictures at each-other. This is where you go to put up a picture/drawing that can defeat the previous picture/drawing. Low bandwidth computers be warned: many images will be in this thread.

If you decide to join, may the pic be with you, Luke.
