I am so sorry for the ads that are on the board, but we have had over 150,000 hits already this month. That's 12,500 per day!!!! Everytime we have 50,000 hits I have to pay to keep the board ad free. SO...............it's time for a change. Rich has been preparing a new board for us that will belong to us and we will no longer have to deal with the ads - yeah!!! Our transition will take some work - lots of copying and pasting of data we want to keep because this board will not allow us to back it up We've had this board since we started and it won't go away - it will be left for reference, but once we have the new board fully operational all threads on this board will be locked. Don't panic yet - it isn't going to happen overnight, but I will not be paying for any more ad fee space on this board. So....I apologize ahead of time for the ads As soon as we're ready we'll send everyone the link!

No problem Heather, I think we all understand totally......You know we will stand beside you through the change!!! Susie, yes the website will remain the same the only thing Heather and Rich are changing is the message board which is just a small portion of MareStare. There will still be topics and discussions and of course the cams! Just a different format to the board! Take care Heather!
I forgot to add, I VERY rarely even notice the adds even when they do appear at the top of the page. I for one they don't bother. Just a little fyi for ya!

Marestare deserves it's own site/board. I think we can put up with a few ads until we're ready to make the switch.

As far as I know, everyone will be required to re-register. Shouldn't be hard and we'll be there for you as we make the transition. And BNDRanch is totally correct - it wil remain Mare Stare - the look will be a little different and we will have some features that we don't have now - like notification when someone posts to a thread you are watching. I love that!!
