[Motorola] Is there an admin for BatBoards around?

Thu Apr 15 22:52:32 EDT 2010

The Batboard has been on a downhill run for years.... I wouldn't call it 
very active by any stretch of the imagination.  Last post I put on there 
took three weeks to get a reply.  And I don't see many daily posts anymore 
compared to the hay day of the site.

The closed the registration due to spam problems, instead of updating the 
forum registration process or allowing anyone to step up as signup admin to 
approve each one.  I know because it took me weeks of emailing to get a 
friend registered on there last summer.

73,

Scott
