Yup!!

Happy Bday Beans... Nice Avatar Gandalf!!! LOL

That is a thing of beauty.

Oh no... this cant be good..

FIRST OFF!!! Let me say this thread IS NOT ABOUT whether were gonna make anyone pay... cause that's not gonna happen... Theres gonna be no set % or fee on the classifieds either. This thread was a QUESTION posted to see what the opinions are and thats all it is. As far as we are concerned, if you sell something through the classifieds, and the deal went well, and ya made some money and IF YOU FEEL like it, a couple of bucks through paypal is appreciated, IF YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE IT, that's perfectly fine as well. This site will never be a pay site as that would totally undo everything weve doen in the past to make this a Community. I do however like the idea of subjecting the lurkers to the extra ad.... We're not trying to make a fortune here, just trying to keep enough $$ in the bank for costs, donations... and believe it or not, flowers for funerals... I know that sounds crazy, but in last few years we - THE MODS - spent plenty on expressing our condolences at either members funerals and/or members families funerals. Flowers ain't cheap, but the thought is priceless.

Well said Bruce. They will have to upgrade to ie 8 eventually.

LOL.. Thats a post from '96... pictures are cool.. You hasnt outgrown the PFD yet!!

LOL.. Crazy like a FOX!!!

I'm liking this new feature!!! http://www.ofncommunity.com/forums/index.php?app=membermap

Just a question.... "these ads are terrible. they can be rationalized all you want, but they are unsightly and look unprofessional IMHO. " Which ads?? the ones in the threads were removed this morning... and the other ads we have at the top of the page are very similar to what we had running before... Im not being critical.. just a bit confused???

Ill be eating at subway alot this summer then.. at least this is a contest I can WIN!!!

Bruce, thanks for the pm, I hope you stick it out.

LOL... ya that makes more sense..

Bruce, that's a shame really.. you will be missed, and theres no reason to leave. Theres a couple of reasons we went to the upgrade, mainly spambot/hackers/speed issues. The main look of the board has always been the club skin so we bought the updated version of it. Did you try the default skin??? One of the main issues is that its difficult to see what its all gonna look like till its installed... we tried some ads in the threads.. some people didn't like it, so we are going back to the old style. Its not that we aren't listening, we are definitely doing what we can. BUT the bottom line is (and we held off doing this for a long time) is that we had to upgrade to the next version. There really wasn't much of a choice. I had a photogallery a few years ago. It ran three years and had thousands of pictures on it. It got hacked and we lost everything, all because everything was "working fine" so I didn't bother to upgrade the software... till it got destroyed, then it was way, way too late. I won't learn that lesson again, especially here. "OFC MICKEY MOUSE" ... after 10 years of trial and tribulations here, hours and hours of good work and deeds for other people... well, that just hurts my feelings.

There really only two available right now.. the problem with them is that #1 they have to be purchased, and #2 they have to be configured. Were trying to get the two we have configured and then we can discuss whether we need others or not.

Happy Bday Wayne!!

I realize that, but until google reindex the pages were gonna get some wierd stuff.

Ya know guys... were just doing the best we can.....

Sponsor ads are gone... were working on alternatives...

Looks like were gonna rework things a bit... no worries.

LOL.. I remember when Yahoo said they would never be a "for profit" site....

Its true... but not fishing ones... hot water heater repair.. and tutu repair sites.. tahts it I swear... and were gonna keep it down to one ad per thread....

Ive been on a ton of boards that do it that way... unless everyone wants to PAY to be on here.. lol...

I think were gonna try showing one google ad per post. We have to raise our revenue up a bit to cover our costs...

Oh.. ill be fishing soon...
