OK... Questions about this NEW Site...

[Realm]

MinerMan... are you the person who sent me the email asking me to join??

How did you get this site?? Did it cost you anything??

I noticed a bunch of rules when I registered... are they "OUR" rules... and do we have to adhere to them??

Nothing against the url... but if we wanted to change it so that it was more "catchy"... could we??

The most important aspect of all this is that... we provide a forum where ALL THINGS UTEP can be discussed and debated... without fear of banishment or censorship.

Digs and the Den say they don't... but they obviously do... that is why Realm no longer posts there.

So if we want this site to grow and mean something... it has to stand for something... it has to offer something no other Utep site has...

Freedom of Expression
And, of course, there has to be an entertainment value when you come here... otherwise why even bother. Right??

To answer your questions:

Yes

Its free

Nope

Tried to get something more "catchy", but could not

NO banishment or censorship. Cheerleading is welcome, but complaining against "trolls" is not.

Digs and Den are nothing but wussy message boards

Its all about freedom of expression.

Interesting. Nice find MinerMan... this is a better start than I could have EVER imagined.

Had some guests come by yesterday... out of curiousity. But they didn't post.

It will take awhile... but I think we have the beginnings of a REAL Discussion Board.

Posters will come...

Hi. I came by last week and yesterday and the day before that but there is never anyone here. But then I see new posts. Is there a certain time when everyone shows up to talk? I thought I would sign up and join in the conversation. Oh well. Later. mel

Mel,

Hi. I'm sending you both this post and a pm(personal message) on this.

I agree it is hard to see...

From the main menu, you should see a dark blue bar at the very top of the screen... that displays the following options:

home___ help___ search ____ members____ calendar____ profile____ logout

Click on the "logout" button.

Thanks... Realm

Mel,

Yeah, this will be a problem for awhile until this board gets going with more posters. Until then, I'm enjoying the quiet but I'm also enjoying the challenge of getting this Utep Sports board going.

I work long hours and generally don't get to this board until 10-11pm CST. But I'll try to be here whenever there is a game of significance. I should be here tonight during the UAB game.

MinerMan's schedule is probably more different than mine.

See you then...

Realm...
