Hi everyone,
I have been very happy with the response that the message board has generated. Quite a few people have visited the forum to read the posts and keep up with preparations for the field season. We also have about 20 members who have joined the forum. Forum members can post new topics as well as comment on old conversation threads. I would encourage everyone to go ahead and join the forum. This is just another way to interact with the MRP community.
Unfortunately, small as our organization is, we are not immune to attacks by "spammers". Over the last week I have had to remove posts with both an "adult theme" as well as ads for certain pharmaceuticals. As far as I know, I was the only one who saw them. I hope that no one was offended if they stumbled across those posts. The large number of spam topics forced the closing of the previous MRP message board. I do not want that to happen again. I have increased the forum's security level to try to circumvent thos with a malicious intent. I am also changing the way that individuals register to become forum members.
From now on I will have to OK new members. When you sign up to become a member, an email will automatically be sent to me with your request. I will try to respond and activate your account within 24 hours. I know that this seems unwieldy, but I hope that the trade off of an ad free forum will offset the minor inconvenience. There is one major down side to this system. I am leaving for Belize in one month. At that point I will have limited access to the internet and will not be able to activate new account. So get out there and sign up n ow.
This is a new system and there are bound to be a few bugs involved with its implementation. Please bear with me and send me an email with any problems that you encounter.
Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.
