I am suprised that this board has been abandoned for the most part. It seems like a logical community center for all of us to post and read about happenings here on the island.
I hear I missed chili and nachos at Ruritans but never heard about it. Several community events have been missed by us due to lack of knowledge.
In addition, this board if I rememebr right is funded by Google ads. The traffic and clicks helps keep it up.
As the web is the obvious direction for advertising; why not use it? Let's show some support for such a great effort by Knotthead. Stop in and visit. Contribute if you have time.

Just so you know, the Ruritans will be doing dinners at Bay Villa the last Friday evening until April. Chicken and dumplings on the 17th. All profits will go straight back into the community.

It's 5:30 on Sunday morning. There ain't a d**n thing on TV except Amish fake fireplace infomercials. They have a good deal though. They're free so they must be good. Sadly, because of limited supplies, the Amish are only allowing two per household. I wanted one for each room so I had to order 6 more under fake names. I hope I don't get caught. It's hard to pull one over on the Amish.

I won't go into a long essay about what a pain this site has been. I'm very close to pulling the plug instead of letting it bother me. On just a few points: This is a free site. If your page didn't go up in time for hunting season, I'll refund your time and money spent when you sent your demand.....er, request in. Repeatedly e-mailing me with disgusted rhetoric doesn't speed up the process and may in fact slow it down. Here's another one. "Update the page." To what? That request always comes with no information to use as an update. If left up to me to do the authoring, the updates, if any, will go at my pace. This site is years old now. I should only be editing pages and managing the server. My pace? I work six months of the year away from home and my part-time job is getting more involved as we shift our attention away from Iraq to the Afghan Frontier and the Horn of Africa. My pace? I used to get into building pages every week. That was when there was interest in it and people tried to participate. Interest died off and the sporadic contact went dead. Now the few e-mails asking for info are set aside until I can get some serious building time. Anyway, that's some of what's on my mind when I read the rude and unprofessional e-mails that pop in from time to time. Otherwise, I don't let it preoccupy my thoughts. I had a pretty good idea of where I wanted this site to go and I still have an idea that it could turn out to be a appreciated piece of media here on the island. With support from "characters"  like Billy and KI Guy, among others, it will get there. Please click the ads on the KI site itself. The ads on this forum are sent up by the providers of the forum server. They get the revenue and don't charge me anything for this board. The Google ads at KI Online are what pay for the server and the community calendar and the economy isn't being very kind there. Wow. (Did I say all of that out loud?) |
