AwesomeDude Forums/Blogs New Look

[dude]

It has been a long time since we've done a software update at AwesomeDude Forums and AwesomeDude Blogs, so we made a jump to the most current version of our IPB software, Version 3.2.2.

This required us to apply a new skin to the new version and we hope we've been successful in having the look and feel of the new Forums/Blogs continue to mirror - as much as possible - that of the AwesomeDude Home Page.

With the implementation of the new software, we've gone back to semi-automatic registration of new members. We had been adding new members manually over the past year or so due to the proliferation of SpamBots which create bogus member accounts and then spew unwanted spurious advertising and other offensive posts throughout the forums.

Since we've implemented the new version of IPB we've reduced the number of spambot registration attempts from 75 to 80 per day... down to one or two.

For those of you who would like to help keep the AwesomeDude Forums/Blogs and the AwesomeDude.com site on the web, we have a PayPal Donation button on the AwesomeDude.com Home Page.

If you'd like to put a link on your desktop to get directly to the AwesomeDude Forums/Blogs just set it to http://www.awesomedudeforums.com.

Thanks for using the AwesomeDude Forums/Blogs and for visiting and reading all the great stories at http://www.awesomedude.com.

I guess the upgrade and mods to the AwesomeDude Forums are just about complete, now, and that you find them worthwhile.

AS before, if you have any problem with registering or anything else, don't hesitate to write me at dude@awesomedude.com.
