SITE NEWS
- We have added an all new BBloopers only section to BBspot
(http://www.bbspot.com/bbloopers/) We are receiving too many to post on the
main page. Starting out there will be 2 new BBloopers every day. If you
haven't checked it out yet, you've already missed 10 new BBloopers. Make
checking it out part of your daily BBspot routine. Thanks.
- Thanks to all the people who have donated to the BBspot New Computer and
Injury fund. Less than $100 to the goal. Hopefully, next week I'll be able
to open up the discussion on what components I'm looking at for the system.
If you want to send something over to help reach the goal, use the paypal
link below. Thanks.
