Hello Everyone
I have a couple of announcements to make, Patrick’s Iguana and Herp Forum is going to go through a couple of changes here on the Board. When I started this Board I wanted to help people that wanted to come by and ask Questions, well I have accomplished that and the people here are Great for helping people in need, no matter if they just joined and posted one post or a long time member. That is what makes Our Forum Better than any other Forum out there in my opinion.
This is the reason for the message on the top of the board that people do not have to be a member to read here, but you do have to be a member if you are going to post here. Well this is one of the changes that are going to happen. I will setup a board where Guest can come and post. I and the rest of the staff here, will moderate this Board, so we do not get any Spam postings or posters. If this happens their IP Address will be banned from the Forum. Our Forum is here to help people that have animals not to be someone advertisement.
There will be one board but with 4 Sub-boards for Guest to post on. One Board well read Lizards, one Snakes, one Turtles, and one Frogs. This board is going to be for guest to come in here if they do not want to join and post a Question, and if we can help or direct you to a place that can help we will and for other guest as well to help people in finding the answers to their Questions. Please do not copy and paste anything to the board from another site if this happens that Guest will have their IP Address banned from this Forum.
Ok some other changes being made, the members here have been logging in with in the 30 days notice rule, and this is Great! But that rule will be in affect again and if a member has not log in with in the 30 days of joining you will be Deleted from the forum with out notice and will have to rejoin if you want to post on the regular boards here. I do not want to lose members but I want people here to interact with the rest of the members. That is what makes this Forum a community and not just like any other forum.
Change in staff
Well Elizabeth, the Tech Admin. is no longer with us, if the members have not noticed. But with her going back to school and taking care of her kids, she has decided to step down and deal with what she has to deal with. I respect her wishes and I as well as all of us will miss her not being here all the time. And doing the things she did for our little community! WE WILL MISS YOU ELIZABETH!!!!!!!!
Board Changes
There is going to be some changes to the link board I have decided not to carry other peoples Forum links on there anymore, this is not anything personal to the members that have joined here and started their own forums, because I still try to get by some of them and try to post. Now the personal Websites will be left on the link board but the Forum Links that are there will be removed and the link board will be moderated by me and if a link of a Forum or Personal Page with a Forum appears it will be Deleted! I am sorry this has to be done. But it is for the best, if this Community wants to stay a Little Community.
Picture Of the Week and Changing the Background and Board Colors
We are still going to try doing the picture of the week that is if people send their pictures to me! If no picture is sent, I will take a picture of my own and post it. This I feel will get boring and people are not going to want to see just picture of my guys. The picture of the week was supposed to be for you the members to show off your herps so get the cameras out and take some pictures! On the changing of the background and boards once a week this is still going to be done if not by me by one of the staff members. Now if you have any problems seeing any of the boards, do not hesitate to get in touch with me.
We are all here to help people and their animals in the best way we can. If that is posting a link or giving another members opinion on their animals or from their personal experiences people have had with their animals or just to be another ear on the How’s life Board. We are here to help in the best way we know how.
I hope with the few New Changes our Community Grows and is more helpful to everyone and gets more people coming here to post and have fun.
Thanks for Reading This Long and drawn out letter
