Subject: About the board

I know that some of you have mixed feelings about moving over to the new forums. I will miss this old board too. It has been around for a while and even the one before this one looked and felt the same way. There are many reasons why we are making the switch. Freedom to choose the type of advertising that is displayed. I'm not happy with all the diet companies that have started putting their ads on this board. Our community does not profit from these ads and I would much rather have my own and put the money toward more bandwidth, better programs etc. for the group. Another reason is that the message board has had too much down time. Three weekends in a row I could not access the boards on Sunday. At least when we have it on our local server we have control over the "on" switch. The final reason is that our community is growing. We need the ability to have more than one board. Don't get me wrong, I am not going to go overboard like some of those sites that have 20 boards and you never know which one to post your question/statements on. I think 4-5 is plenty and I would like to thank the people that have volunteered to moderate those boards. We can use all the people that we can get and those of you who started here, or are frequent members of this board are more than welcome to email me about being a moderator, or if you would like a "special" rank such as Ultimate dieter. :) I've already named a few myself, and if you would rather have another title than the one I gave you please contact me. It's one way that I can give special recognition to the people that contribute to this site. So start telling your friends, and other people at the other sites that you visit and let's get these forums going! Supportamundo!!
