I have come out with two alternatives on the replacement message board front.

The message boards can be found from the following addresses:

Choice 1:
http://ub2.homepagetools.com/barnstaplegulls/UltraBoard.pl?

Choice 2:
http://www.aimoo.com/forum/freeboard.cfm?id=331856

The first is a free board (for the moment anyway - although this may change in the near future), however it does not have many of the options which the second board has (i.e. ability to create polls, send private messages to other members, have pictures placed beside of your username etc) nor is it as quick. However the second board costs �10 per 6 months (or 15 US dollars to be precise).

Nevertheless, both a great boards. Can you let me know which one you want to go for!

Cheers.

Author: Mark Sanders [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 22:31:18 01/08/02 Tue Dave, if you enter your name into the Anonymous field it will appear. Have a look, I've posted on your behalf. However, if we use the board you could register. That way it is possible to have a pic of yourself next to the message!

Author: Rosie [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 21:23:33 01/11/02 Fri I prefer the Aimoo board because it has less writing on it, and so seems less crowded and you can get rid of those silly banners on the page. Oh, and you can have a picture of Charlie Brown too!!!! Rosie

Author: Crayon [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 16:10:52 01/12/02 Sat Mark fella, both boards seem to do the job required. If one is free then go for that one, it means more beer money at the end of season do.

Author: Mark Sanders [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 14:02:02 01/13/02 Sun Kelvin fella! At the moment the first one is free, but there is now talk of closing the free service - however they haven't fixed a date yet. Unfortunately, free boards now seem I thing of the past!

Author: Dave The Rave [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 22:22:17 01/13/02 Sun Everyone fella, I think the final decision has got to be with Mark. I'm sure he will make an inspired choice, after all he is the Chairman.
