Damon,

I'm glad we're back. I'll explain more later, but we had a very sophisticated attack by Russian spammers on the message boards and I had to take down the sites immediately to protect our posters and visitors.

I purchased this new "Pro" version of the Webbbs software last July to make the sites easier for me to administer and more secure. My hope was to make a smooth transition between the old software and the new, but our Russian friends forced my hand.

What you are seeing is the "basic" message board page or the default for the software. Over the next few weeks you will see improvements in appearance and function. I was most interested in getting the sites up and running as soon as possible, as I anticipated many were frustrated over not being able to access the sites.

Thank you and everyone on the message boards for your patience. I think you'll enjoy the improvements you see in the future.

Jim Martin
