BlueMoment News

Post by Nick »

I've been very busy recently with new web design work, so have not had as much time to spend on BlueMoment as I would like.

New stuff done recently on the site:

The server the forum is on crashed three mornings in a row recently and had to be restarted. Examination of the logs indicates that there are too many bots crawling and research indicates msnbot is a greedy wee blimey when it comes to resources, so it is now banned from crawling the forum. Situation is being monitored, but if the forum continues to grow then it may have to be moved to another server. Silkie, regular backups please.

Have decided to sell advertising at the top rhs (where the YotBlog ad currently is) to help defray expenses - either one single company or possibly a banner rotation as at the top rhs of the main site. No landrover pop-ups though . . . it shouldn't interfere with your posting pleasures.

Festina Lente press release added. I really would like a Discovery . . .

First Aid page updated - all links now working, any new suggestions for URLs welcome

Affiliate links to TMI updated - affiliate scheme now working, so any purchases made through these ads helps keep the site going

Thanks everyone who has voluntarily topped up their previous burgee payment. New burgees at £16 still available HERE.

Please remember that there is more to this site than the forum, and your feedback re. broken links etc is always very useful.

Yes, you've been obsessing with things sartorial - trainers, dressing gowns - it's time to concentrate on antifoul and to resolve the matter of your anchor.

When we remember the thought and planning that went into the 1K, then this was rather flat. By my countback, this was 2000th, but I could be wrong. Maybe we can find a more exciting one.
