THE ONLINE MESSAGE BOARD
THAT USED TO BE HERE AT HTTP://WWW.REVWAR.COM/WWWBOARD/
HAS BEEN MOVED!

Please Read Below!

Hello all,

We have an announcement to make in regarding this message board.

As of the last few weeks & month the conversation of some posters and some posts on the online message board have gotten very vulgar and inappropriate. We have tried to stop them one way or another. Now we have the only recourse. To take down this unmoderated online message board webpage and posts and have those who want to post appropriate notices and messages on a moderated email list/group where WE (Sonja and I) can see the post before hand and approve or disapprove of the post before it is posted. The majority of the online posts are fine, but the inappropriate posts cannot be allowed to be posted anymore.

Therefore, We are going to encourage our regular and non offensive posters to come to a email list & webpage and sign up and post there. This way we can weed out the inappropriate posts.

 
Note: We will be saving all the current messages so that the appropriate ones can be reposted by us if the posters wish the message to be reposted.

We apologize for the interruption of the current discussion of appropriate posts.

Below is the message that all new folks that join will receive. If you have trouble joining email us and we will help you get there. Please read before you join as you will know what we expect (and expected of  posts on the former board that used to be here)
