I think this forum is vastly superior to the old one. We have room for lots more categories, and we didn't just get rid of the pop up ads... the banner ads inside our threads are gone as well (at least as far as I can tell).
This is not the official Indy Squadron Forum yet - I'm still waiting to hear from a few more people. But I do think its a major improvement and a huge step in the right direction. When this forum is made official, the old one will be closed down and locked and IndySquadron.com will link directly to this board.

The Richesons have landed!!! We hope to be at the next few official gaming days Lord willing. It's been a crazy time between ministry and work and family. Stephen-I have MUCH to tell you about what God has done in our lives!! (Not the least of which starts with Betsy and I seeing our sister Ellen give her life to the Lord and claim victory over a lifetime of drug abuse habits and worse!! I had the privelege of baptising her and she and her daughter are living with Betsy and I now. This has added more mouths and more responsibility to the plate, but trust me it is a testimony that is quite incredible. They have never had a stable home or family environment, so Bets and I were more than glad to welcome them in. We went through some blips on the radar in ministry with old folks wanting to keep things exactly the same (especially as it relates to the old "tried and true" hymns). That has all been worked through now and we are currently enjoying blended worship styles. Our church attendance is shooting back up and we have had a few more folks turn their lives over to God. One man has overcome a lifetime of alcohol addiction and is about to join our congregation!
I have also been through a pretty severe illness that I am just now beginning to overcome. (A severe upper respiratory infection that caused me some scares with bad chest pains-all related to the infection-the ticker is sound!!)
Ok well this is not very much Dawn Patrol news so I will cut it off, but look forward to seeing everyone again!!
Kevin

Good to see you here Kevin. Wow... a lot of people are coming over to the new forum quickly. We had a total of 33 players on the old board (compared to about 75 Fits Society members overall) and in two days we already have ten here. Kevin, I've updated your profile to credit you with all your previous posts. You've jumped about four ranks up now. Sounds like a lot has been going on in your life. Come out to Feb 18th gaming so we can catch up (your house must be seeming awfully small right now!). Joe, I've added your post from the previous site to your total as well... better 1 than none! Glad you checked back and saw the new forum. We've got to get you to a gaming table somehow. Do you guys like the new forum, and have you had a chance to poke around enough to tell the differences?

Is the new Forum free?

Post by Stephen on Feb 9, 2006 14:23:58 GMT -5
Yes, its free. I can't really justify paying for a forum on top of the web space, domain, etc., so I needed a free one.
The old Aimoo forum was free as well as long as we could live with the pop ups, but everyone hated them. Including me. So I went shopping for a new one.
We will always have the banner at the top, plus a few ad links at the bottom... still this is infinitely better than having those awful pop ups splattered all over the forum. A few banners I don't mind... the forum providers have kids to feed, too. Its those pop ups that HAD to go.

I love the Forum (see Profile comments)!! Excellent features, and very user friendly. And aside from all the great commentary about the game I've read the past couple of years, a great way to stay in touch with friends (ie Kevin & Skinner post I just read)
I can't recall if we have met 'PastorKevin', I've had limited play with the indy folks, but I look forward to sitting at a table. Hopefully either in Milwaukee (March31-April2) or GENCON. Kevin, it sounds like God has graced you to work His mercy on others, and also to trust in Him for all things. Continued health until He calls us all.

Have any of you noticed that whatever subject the thread is about, the ad banner is about related subjects?
