Is it me or is it starting to go  :offtopic:

But anyway i will insert my feelings

TWO COLUMNS

Good things                                                 Bad things

1. People who are banned cannot                    1. New people cannot look at it
see what is going on these forums                   before they join, so they dont
                                                                 know what is on the boards
2. It blocks the spammers from
accessing your forum                                     2. The new people might be turned
                                                                 away cause of stated above
3. The forum is more secure





What should be done is a combo of those good and bad things (not easily can be done though)
I have a good idea - make a special forum that only guests can see (like a "Welcome, Guest!" forum) and with a topic in it, that tells the user about the forum. That way, guests will probably have a better chance of joining. :yes:

Good. You're not supposed to see it. :D (only guests and admins are supposed to see it)

I just logged myself out to see it. I didn't know all the other forums were disabled for guests! No wonder we've been getting so many members lately.

I logged myself out and saw a board saying "Welcome Guest". That's all I see.

Do you have any plans on what to do with the site later on? Add new content, special announcements, etc.

I always have been and will be adding such things when I have them.  ;)

Progress is being made. As you may have noticed, the logo has returned to all currently accessible pages of the site as well as to the forum. I am working on getting all the pages back up, but I have to do most of it from scratch since most of the files have been lost.

Question: Can anyone here remake the buttons that I had for the site? I didn't make them to start with, so I KNOW that I can't do it. Any help would be appreciated!

I must say this site looks "archived". Our post counts dropped, some new members are missing, and the most recent topics were old ones that started months ago.
