Greetings. It's nice to see a new offspring pop up from that which was the A5OG (which that specifically is now in all reality put to sleep). But what about expanding beyond the forum?

Articles, reviews, maybe gallery, blah blah. Have all that and the forum linked from an opening/greeting page. Because with an Article or Review page specifically one can host the text/images on this server. Rather than the time tested host on some place where a year later it disappears and you have an article with a bunch of red X in them.

Not to mention people wanting to learn specifically about troubleshooting they can go from opening page to the guide. Instead of swimming through the forum to find what they're looking for.

As things get put together, I can see a more "website-like" set-up being rather easy to do. Just takes the money and the know how to get it done.

The only direct donations Pro-Boards allow are for "credits" that allow use of their perks and their perks only. I know people are worried about expanding but we have not established ourselves enough to ask anyone to give money to a cause we can not be 150% will stay strong and stable over the next couple of months.

We've only been open a couple of weeks - Give 'er time, lets see if the ball keeps on rolling before we put any more push behind it.
