Thanks guys. And just to add to the initial post, ALL members (including those currently banned) will be welcomed back with clean slates once the site is finally relaunched. And when we say "clean slates," we mean it! The mods will not tolerate ANY bs from ANY party, regardless of their past actions and behavior.

And we're gonna have a zero-tolerance policy for anyone who was once permanently banned, and anyone who starts making trouble while also failing to contribute to the board. It's one thing to be a little ornery, but it's another thing altogether to only be here for the purpose of being a punk. So, I shall put the smack down.

No monkey business!! The site has matured and we've learned a lot about how to run a joint like this... and the new forum software and design is sure to be sweet.. I guess I better donate a couple dollars so that maybe I'll see it before I'm old and go blind [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

You should email Mark Cuban. I know it's a long shot, but maybe he would be willing to help.

Not really Truth...political statements have no place here. Roe V. Wade is the law of the land.
Again, political ideology has no place here... As Rhylan says, we're trying to get away from the extraneous.
This thread is about contributions and I don't want to see you and UD getting into it over this. Please rethink what you're posting.

Outlet, I could care less over the issue, im not going to argue w/ him, in fact I agree w/ him, I was simply saying it might cause arguments among some, possibly you or anyone else.

It´s a good idea. Mavs could have some ad and link here in return, maybe a special category with their highlights, news, etcetera. Most of we hate sites with too much banners, flashes, and so, but I think we can be fine with few little ads from our team (no pop-ups!).

UD...understood. I would also object if someone's sig promoted the abortion point of view. This is just not the place for either expression...and yes it could be VERY controversial. Peace.

Truth, I am in agreement. Defending you point of view IF the issue of abortion came up I guess would be fine. But to flaunt that statement in a basketball forum is a bit inappropriate. I have restrained myself from saying anything up until this point, but have to agree with OP, it is almost as if you're looking for an argument on the subject. Let's stick to Mavs.

I change my sig pretty frequently anyway. I will change it again eventually (now that the political season is over), but not a second before you all stop complaining about it.
By not using private messages, you are the ones stringing this into a political issue.

yes
Edit: sorry, yes in my condition of international (potential) member. But I think you can pay also with paypal having a checking account from the US (and maybe Canada).

www.paypal.com
My account is messed up. I just changed a bank account though, so I sent an email to them for help. Paypal kicks ass. It's a great way to transfer money online safely. Ebay just bought paypal BTW.
