Subject: [Rockhounds] [ADMIN] About the rockhounds website.


Some of you have probably noticed that our website has been down for several 
months, and that the RHLAdmin email address hasn't worked for, gosh, ages.

The email address was somewhere on the order of 80-160 to 1 Spam and Drizzle 
doesn't have filtering for this sort of account. I gave up.

Carol's website (where ours is hosted) is currently down, and they aren't 
certain when it's going to be back up again. Here's what I'm doing

--I'm buying a domain name, and going to host it on my site, so that in the 
future, if the site needs to be moved, the address won't change. I have a 
slot available for it at my hosting company, so there are no costs involved 
in this except the domain name, and I will cover that.
--I'm going to be doing some major revisions to the site, including adding 
some features I'd always intended to. (It's been a combo of either me being 
too busy or lack of access to the site, or both, and consequently, even when 
the site was up, there were a zillion "Under Construction" pages.)
--If you have great ideas for the website, please let me know.
--I'm revising the rules; they will be mostly the same, but a lot shorter 
;). (The current rule-set is 1.8k and reads like Robert's rules of order.) 
When we figure it out, I'll post a copy to the list.

Any questions, concerns or ideas, please email me.

Julie
