I just want to clear up something that maybe some new people are not aware of.
This Forum was started October of 2000. This is not my original website. In fact, I do not consider it as my "website" as I do the other one.
My original website, Boyd Allens Christian Naturism, is located at www.geocities.com/boydallen.
It has been there since around 1998. It is still there and is my "Main" website. So the links I refer to when I point out my articles are on that geocities hosted website.
Where the website is located at www.geocities.com, this forum is located at www.network54.com
The reason I am using this one here at network54 is because I didn't like forum tools at geocities, at least at the time when I was looking into it. It may be better now, but I'm not going to change.
I put the background color pattern, blue with white, kind of looks like counter top material, on this site so it would match my original website as well. I just copied the color over to this one and used it. That way, along with the "angels" on top, as well as the banner pointing to the website, it would look stream lined and like one website, even though they are on two different hosts.
When I refer to my website, I am refering to the geocities site, not this forum. I just call this my forum, the other my website.
Confused yet?
To really make it fun, geocities was bought out by Yahoo! and now I can use the same information on both Yahoo and Geocities, which is good since I don't have to have two passwords to keep up with! But I do have a separate password for this Forum. When I sign on to my Yahoo account, I am automatically signed on with Geocities, so if I need to edit my website, I go straight there without having to log in again.
But this forum is a separate entity, so I log in or not log in, depending on what I am doing.
Now, for those who want to login, I do not require a log in for this forum. However, if you want to post with a login, you have to sign up with network54, which is optional. I have no control over that. When anyone that has a Network54 account logs in, their signature and pictures or anything they associate their signature will show up, like mine at the bottom.
That is why you do not always see my signature as it shows now. Because I don't always log in. (hint, I'm logged in now)
The Chat room belongs to Network54 as well, so you have the option to use your network 54 log in as I do, or you can "sign on" as a guest, which all that does is identify you as the name you sign on with, nothing more. It will accept whatever name you put in there (please don't use mine).
Now Kevin has the password (mine) for this forum so he can help me keep up and watch for bad posters and problems. But he does not have the account information for my Geocities "website" which is different.
I hope that cleared it up for those who is wondering how this works.
Now to keep on topic, I am nude while writing this.
