    If you used to visit us on the Windows-Help.NET Support BBS in the past, this will be your new home!

    If you didn't know, our website was maliciously hacked at the beginning of December. This
    caused the total loss of the former BBS and its member records. So you'll need to register again, and we'll start over from scratch.

    It has taken us some time to open this new BBS, as this is a different
    platform. It's superior to the UBB software we were using before. More
    importantly, it allows for easy backups (since it runs from a
    database).

    Many of you have contacted me in the past month with emails offering support. I thank you all! Some of you have also indicated that you would like to support the BBS financially. That is also welcome.

    Right now we can only accept cash or money orders in US Dollars or personal checks from the U.S. You can mail them to:


    InfiniSource, Inc / Support BBS
    PMB #447
    3 Monroe Pkwy Suite P
    Lake Oswego OR 97035


    IF YOU DO SEND A CONTRIBUTION, PLEASE MAKE SURE TO INCLUDE YOUR REGISTERED USERNAME AND/OR E-MAIL ADDRESS AND THE FACT THAT THIS IS A CONTRIBUTION.

    I'm planning to offer additional "perks" (such as no ad banners) for a low yearly fee later on, and when I do, your donation will be converted to the "membership fee ".

    This BBS will always be FREE. There will just be some extras offered for paying "members ".

    More info to follow later..


    Arie Slob.

    I'm glad to see this board back online. I recommend it to friends and find more useful information here than many places that I've tried.

    :eek:

    YAY! I'm so glad to be back to this message board. This was the very first computer help message board I ever used and I was a member here for like 2 years. I really love this message board best. So glad to be able to use it once again. What happened in December was a sad ending, but let us consider this a new beginning.

    FAAAAAAAR OUT!

    Glad to be (and that you are) back, Arie!

    I just took a minute to see if I had a record of just how long I've "leaned" on this (well, the old) Board... and found a thread I had printed out mentioning that I first registered on 3/29/99.
    Betcha, too, I was getting a lot of help here long before that!

    Have to say, I've got a BIG pile of thread print outs from the old Board and have used that pile many times in recent years! There just hasn't been a better place to find quality info from quality people, at least that I could ever find.

    SOOOOOOOOOOOO glad to see this Board back up and running!

    :D

    It's great to have you back! I've found this board invaluable for a couple of years now, and was really afraid it might not make it back up after being attacked. I'm glad you're here again. :)

    Thank you, Arie and Joseph !! The service you provide with this BBS is immeasurable to those of us not born sitting in front of a computer. I'm sure, with the exception of the jackal that destroyed the old BBS, that your efforts are greatly appreciated by all. Thanks, again !! :)

    :D Welcome back, everybody !!!!!!!! :D


    By the way, Arie. As much as I liked the old format and its ease of use, etcetera, I like this one even more. Great job !!

    AWESOME! SUPER! I'M HOME AGAIN! Like a few of you had mentioned, I too, have had withdrawals waiting for this new board to come to life. I have missed it SOOOOOOOO much! It's great to see some familiar faces and super to see some new faces. And I got to use my same name!!! :)

    I like this new look and am still playing with the fonts and such. A little different setup, but easy enough to learn. :cool:

    So then, WELCOME HOME everyone and WELCOME to all newcomers to the best (even better!) little BBS in the WORLD!

    Oh....GREAT JOB ARIE AND ALL YOUR HELPERS!!!!! :D

    :) :) :)

    It's great to have this life line back again, I can't begin to tell you how much I've learned from the old BBS.

    Great to see some familiar names back too :D

    Just one more note to let you know we are glad you are up and running. Will miss having that great repository of information for searching out problems but am sure it won't take long to build it up again. The new format is nice - but I don't care as long as we have BBS back again.

    I'm new here and already I feel entirely at home. Hope Newt won't mind but I reckon we all have a lot to thank him for!! Not least for promoting this board.
    May God bless all who sail in her!!

    I'm glad to see the board back too. The hackers who destroyed it should be shot. Why do they always have to hit boards that serve a good purpose, help people learn, etc., and never do anything to boards full of extremist wingnuts? Oh... Nevermind. The extremist wingnuts are the ones destroying everything. I forgot. How silly of me. :rolleyes:
