Hello Everyone!

Due to the large size of our database and the restrictions imposed by our web host, we are going to begin deleting (pruning) all threads which have not had a post in them within the last 2 years.

If the thread hasn't had a post in 2 years...it's history!

So if there is a thread that you like or may want to refer to in the future, make sure to go find it now and simply make a post in it. That will start the 2 year timer all over again at day 1.

Let me know if you have any questions, comments or concerns.

The pruning will begin on or around February 15th.

Schnauze

I have wondered about that. Glad to know there is something that will keep our size down.

Thanks

We may add a few ads here and there to cover the webhosting upgrade.

Well, we have upgraded our hosting package to handle all of the photos, traffic and bandwidth.

To counter the costs, we have placed a small advertising banner at the top of the forum pages.

Hopefully they are not too obtrusive and everything will seem normal soon as you get used to it!

Allen

I don't see any problem with it.
