Following on from my announcement,as you can see i have now implemented the changes to the board.
Everything went smoothly(i hope).

The reason for the name change is basically because i wanted to try and avoid just being recognized as an XP specific forum.
I was always dubious of using "Reverend" in the title.It probably gave the impression we were some freaky religious sect touting for business. :p

Hopefully this new approach will attract more members.
Although obviously with XP being fairly new,it will still provide the main bulk of queries and comments on the board.

I hope you like the changes.I feel this is a step in the right direction.

I would like to thank you all for your continued support,it is truly appreciated. :thumbsup:

I would also like to say a massive thank you to Big Booger.We spent many hours chatting on MSN,and without his help these changes would not have materialised.Thanx. ;)

And finally a couple of things to mentionI have added a "Google" search bar to the top of the page.Hopefully you will find this useful. :)
I have set you all to use the Default style skin.However if you prefer the original Blue or Green styles,these are available via your userCP under "Edit options"

Reverend thanks bro
For you and everyone else that have contributed in some way or another have done a fantasic job getting this site established. Certainly for a while I did miss; not have the MSFN forum to go to for advice and knowledge sharing. But I as Im sure others have become very comfortable being a member here. And can see that with all your hard work and dedication this site will continue to grow.:thumbsup:

Prime time on GOD TV, cool just as long as I get to dress in one of those religious smogs:biglaugh:

No apologies necessary. US and UK= 2 countries separated by a common language. Old, but still true. And so what? more fun to learn different expressions. Cross-fertilization and all that.

But with just thongs and sandals, where are you going to keep your wallet?:p

A while back we used to jokingly call Sandals - Adidas Bethlehem. Back when Adidas shoes had model names to describe each shoe.

You could filter the words our, i.e) add them to the banned list

..

Our official stance is that:

1. No direct linking to anything illegal

2. We can't really stop you posting a link to a site that has a link to another site, else companies like google would be in trouble

3. If we get a complaint we will take action. Please no joke complaints as this has been done before and we will always find out who did it and pass this to the board owner

4. No illegal file attachments on our server.


5. Our terms and conditions pretty much cover everything else found at http://www.netrg.net

This is a good site and if it try to keep in line with iexbeta and xp-erience.org then there shouldnt be any problems

..

Monitor fund will be setup soon :)

Thanks
