On the communication conveyor belt

[primsong]

Well, the new boards are a mixed bag - they will be a great improvement for things like Bag End and Rivendell, but ack... I am at wit's end trying to keep up with the questions, emails, items being posted in weird places... I don't really feel that I've even been a part of the "conversation" at them yet, all I've had time to do is play administrator and frantic organizer. Thank goodness Decipher *finally* approved Dr. G's modship - we need the help with this thing! :-(

I've narrowed the new "Pony-style" board for the Scrapbook down to two scripts, both based on the cgi-bin threaded messageboard software that Decipher was using (except I can't find one as old their version was!) - it will take a bit to get it installed properly and configured to resemble the old boards as closely as I can. Thank goodness I have my hubby to help, except both of us are swamped this week, so the timing is bad and everyone will just have to wait a little.

BUT it will be threaded in the same manner, and even be in blue and green!

AND it is only a one-time $50 fee, which I can cover - it should fit within the bounds of the bandwidth I have too. That means no fees for any of the users, yay!

Haven't decided what I will do with the header yet - can't use Decipher's so I'm going to make up something new once we settle on a name for the place. The poll for a name is over here:

(I left off Green Dragon as it is very much overused in Tolkien Forums)

We will wait for you to get settled and as long as it takes for the new site to come together. I am mailing you a donation, as I said, use it for the boards or a new Rose bush, you dont have enough at the new place yet, imho.
Thank you is too small for words to express my thanks for all you do. I pray every day for you and yours and hope OUR FATHER will Bless you all beyond measure.
With Heartfelt Love and Greetings,
Tom
