BBspot Subscribers Please Read

Happy November to all remaining BBspotters out there. As you can tell, I haven't had much time recently to work on the site. I don't see this changing much for the foreseeable future. The increased programming hours, and other issues have jumped ahead of the site on the priority list. I'm not ready to close the book on the site just yet, but I need to acknowledge the new reality.

Consequently, I want thank donators to the site for their continuing support, but I feel bad accepting donations when I can't put in the effort that I feel your generous donations deserve. I could cancel all the current subscriptions, but I have heard from some people that they would like to continue anyway.

I just want everyone to know where things stand with the site, and let you make your own decisions. Thanks again for your support, and thanks to everyone for visiting the site throughout the years.

That's all for now. Stay geeky!
