EZBoard Status
Unfortunately it looks like the server move yesterday may not have
gone as smoothly as they expected since our board and others that I
manage are still not available. All we can do is wait for the service to
come back up. Again - the only part of the website affected is the message board
- the remainder of BoB has nothing to do with EZBoard.

Messageboard (EZBoard) Reminder from EZBoard
"On Tuesday, April 24th, from 9:00 AM PST to 6:00 PM PST, we
will move all
ezboards to our new, much faster bandwidth provider. During this time
all
ezboards will be unavailable. Following the move all ezboards will
experience a dramatic increase in speed."
This does not affect the rest of the BoB website.

Letter #3.
I have just now received my third letter from the home office in two
years regarding this website. We can no longer have the links directly
to pillarnet or the consultant communications site, so they have been
removed. The letter is posted in its entirety (with italicized
changes in order to comply with publishing rules of the trademarked
name) so that you may be more aware of the specific guidelines
regarding consultant websites. I did clarify with the home office that
the majority of the letter was in fact generalized - the first paragraph
dealt with the specifics of this website. As always, I immediately
complied and responded to the home office that I have done so.

Individual
Community Support - if you personally visit other ezboard message
boards besides BoB, this is really the way to go. $15 for 6 months gets
you totally popup free AND Ad banner free on ALL ezboards you visit (you
must be logged in as a registered user of course).
Community
Support Gold - this is something I will have to do as the owner of
this board. If I were to pay the appropriate fee for this designated
board, then there would be no popups and no ads on THIS message board -
for everyone - period. For most ezboards, the cost is very small. It is
based on average monthly page views. Our BoB message board is FAR from
average when it comes to daily traffic. Our cost for this option will
range from $150 - $200 per 6 months, currently $182 for 6 months.
