Ever since I moved the old messageboard to my site there was something missing, besides that funky old lava lamp and the security deposit. See, when I moved my board and my blog to my site here I left the board intact, with all the old posts so that people could have a chance to save what they could and wanted to remember. Until everyone had a decent chance to go through the old stuff, I really couldn’t do what I needed to do; what I knew I needed to. I couldn’t revamp it to more reflect my sense of community, spirit or put the end result of so much of my effort back on the right track. Fully on the right track.

After the board moved though I must admit I was quite proud of what happened. See, the people that really wanted to be there, that really wanted to get along with their board mates and have fun started posting again. They had stopped a loooong time ago but the board move seems to have signified to them that things were changing for the better and they were happy happy and came back! Yowzas!

I hadn’t even implemented any changes to the board and oldtime users that were there at the very beginning came back and picked up where they left off like nothing happened which makes VERY proud and smiling from ear to ear! It’s great to see things starting off on the right foot and now it’s time to put in place that which was missing… the board revamp is HERE!

Originally I was trying to get the whole board to follow a city theme, based on the Navarino Unincorporated sign, which of course became this site’s name. However, the town and city theme has pretty much been done to death before and I was having a hard time coming up with names for the different areas that fit and meshed together well. It was VERY important to me that this revamp was done perfectly, funny and really reflected my unique way of looking at things. It was Minnietaur that saw it wasn’t going to work out and started tossing off some wacky forum names and encouraged me to lose the city theme and just go bonkers; something I do well… and I did.

The Navarino Unincorporated City Hall board revamp is finally done! It’s pretty insane if I don’t say so myself, others surely will…

The board is back as it began, focusing on people of all walks of life coming together to have fun and relax in a casual and friendly environment, free from the troubles, troublemakers and unpleasantness that so plagues other communities. Whether you want to catch up on news already printed elsewhere, chit chat with your board mates about life in general, technology, laugh, tell jokes or help each other with your computer and non-computer problems the board is ready, waiting and able. We’ll see you there!
