FORUMS:

I have had several people ask me if I will ever bring the forums back. The simple answer is I would love to. The more complicated answer is I would need help monitoring the forums because there was so much inappropriate spam being posted by robots. I put in all of the safe guards I could find to block the posts and they were still able to post content that was not appropriate for our children to view.

If you are interested in helping me monitor the forums please email me at cspaulding@windhamsportspages.com

06/23/08 UPDATE: I have two volunteers already.
