Earlier today a member made a comment in the forum that I believe was intended to be in "good fun." However, it was insulting to and upset several members of this site. To those members I apologize. I do not intended to, nor do I feel that I should, closely regulate our forums. However, I must ensure that we maintain an environment that encourages others to join and contribute to the community. Members of this site must be respectful of others regardless. Insults, derogatory comments, etc will not be tolerated. Anyone who violates the policy is subject to immediate and permanent banning. Thanks! Casey

The message below was sent to several members of the forums via private message. Hey, I'm new here, how's it going? "The most fundamental harm we can do to ourselves is to remain ignorant by not having the courage and the respect to look at ourselves honestly and gently" - Pema Chodron --- Serendipity http://alturl.com/yqii Try as I might, it is impossible to police every member, message, etc, all the time. Thank you to those who have reported the message and to those who were spammed, please accept my apologies. I checked the link and it appears to be an annoying, yet harmless advertising ploy. Please remember: Never click on links in posts, p…

I guess the site went down for a bit? Got some strange pm along with a strange URL from some unknown. So deleted it.

Can we look into getting a mobile version of the site? If you need help setting it up I would be able to point you in the right direction. Simply making a subdomain and installing a mobile style and a simple redirect is all you need to do. Also, there are systems called berryblab and tapatalk.com which let you read the forum easily through apps on your blackberry and iphone respectively. I have all three of these on my site and it makes access to your site better.

Hercules HQ Message board e-mail
by Guest- 3 replies
- 2.4k views
For those who have received the e-mail below and have expressed concern or have questions: It is not a scam nor is it a new addition to the site. The old message board Scott set up for Hercules HQ was never deleted, it was only closed to new posts thus allowing it to remain as an archive. EZ Board has been taken over by Yuku.com and sent the e-mail. The board will continue to remain closed to new post and to serve as an archive only until Scott or the new company removes it. Casey We're emailing you because you are a member of http://p094.ezboard.com/bc130herculesheadquarters on ezboard and something exciting has happened today! C-130 Hercules HQ Messa…

Hi Casey, I've noticed some advertisements showing up on the web site. I guess if more people had donated to your cause, the ads wouldn't have been a neccessity. I know you have put a lot of your own money into this site. Too bad more people couldn't have sent you a few bucks. Don R.

The domain HerculesHeadquarters.com finally became available so I purchased it. I have setup a temporary redirect which allow the site to be accessed via the address http://www.herculesheadquarters.com I will add it as a permanent alias for HB later. At this time, I have no intention to change the site name, just wanted the domain name.
