Hi there, There will be some changes coming soon. I'd like to let you know about them. We've grown up We have been asked by our hoster to move to a dedicated machine as we are too busy for the current server. This is a good and bad thing. It's a good thing as we will be able to go faster and offer more services. It's a bad thing as we haven't needed to move for about 2.5 years now, and it's going to be a bit tricky to move us. I hope that the move will be painless, but as we get closer to the date, I'll post again and let you know how things are going to go down Sponsorship Changes We are working on ways to improve our sponsors' access and use of this place. We will have some cool news for our sponsors soon. Watch this space. Google Ads We are trialling Google ads to see if they can help supplement our income. The reason for this is that we now need to pay significant $$$$ to keep us alive, particularly once we move. Pending some changes to sponsorship above, we are trying to keep a lid on sponsorship fees, particularly for entry level sponsors. If you see a sponsor or Google ad you like, feel free to click on it. Background stuff With the changes to the host, Gallery will be moving from its current location to within the Aussieveedubbers domain. When it happens, we'll let you know. The Gallery software is also due to be upgraded. This may change how it looks. The forum software we run is actually beta software - I write it and look after it. A new version closer to release will be applied *after* we move. This will occur in the early September timeframe. There are no real changes to the way the forum will operate or look, it will just have fewer bugs. Other than that, we have had to re-enable Guest viewing of the site as the no-guest policy was driving database usage through the roof and we are in constant threat of being suspended for abusive levels of activity. We will return to Guest only *once* we have moved to our own host. thanks, Andrewnn[ Edited on 18-8-2005 by vanderaj ]

Okay, we're back. I expect the next 24 hours or so to be rather awful as many people will not remember their passwords.

Please try using the lost password link here:

If that doesn't work, please e-mail me.

If you've forgotten the Bad Attitude password, and are over 18, please approach myself, vw54, Peter Leonard, or Jenz58 for it. Please let us know that you're over 18.

thanks,
Andrew
