There have been a few folks disappointed in me for making this change and some have counseled me on what a bad business decision it is and how unfair to those that have enjoyed it for free. I am glad that you have enjoyed what Dave, Vic and myself have labored over. And I hate to let you folks down. But you can still enjoy looking at the site for free. And unless someone wants to make an offer on the website and take over doing this, then this is the direction I need to go in.
OAN, I have also decided to extend all the Captains Club subscriptions made in the last six months to the following January 1st. That is a small way of thanking those of you that joined the Captains Club to support the site before the change. Thank you.
And finally...I had over 300 email addresses returned as "undeliverable" because the email account did not exist, the mailbox was full, etc. Those user accounts have been moved to the "bounced" user group. That doesn't mean that they've been bounced off the site. It means that their email address was bounced back to our server so they were moved to that user account until a valid email address is entered. If you log into the site and get a Private Message about being bounced. Just follow the instructions to correct your email address. If you have any problems with it send me an email and I'll make the change for you. Thanks.
