As of today, we now have two boards for every region. We have the regular board you are used to, and now an "ad only" board.
This option is only viewable using the new version of the site and not the classic. At the top you will see drop down menus for regional boards and regional ad boards. Two different things.

Ads are not allowed on the regular regional board.
Regular posts are not allowed on the ad board.
Theme day posts stay on the regular regional board.

The rules have not changed regarding ads. One ad per every 7 days per region.
Guys and ladies can comment on ad posts, but hijacking or 'crapping' on an ad is still not allowed and will get you moderated.

Since there is no hard and fast rule as to how this transition will be handled, each mod will be doing things their own way for the next week or so.
Some mods are busy moving ads from the regional board to the "ad only" board right now.
I, on the other hand, am way to lazy for that.
SO......

Until I get caught, reamed out, and possibly tossed out on my ass.....here's how it's going to work around here........(see....I told you that you should read this post)....

This is ad amnesty week.
The new regional ad boards are a clean slate. So if you want to post an ad...do so.
If you already have an ad posted on the regular regional board....so what.
This is the one and only time, probably ever, that you can have two ads running at the same time.
But you MUST post the ad using the new version of the site...and post it to the regional "ad" board.
Take your time, figure it out, and post in the right place.

I'm sure there will be questions and some confusion as we change to this new system, but in the long run I believe we will all see it as a positive change (except for the fact we have to use the new version of the site).

Let's all be patient, and before too long we'll have all the bugs worked out.

As always....

Just sayin'

This change sucks.  You might as well close the New England Discussion board cuz it's been primarily ads and ISOs.  The ISO's (in theory) should be somewhere else which is a total waste of effort.

This could be a chance to open things up and start more discussions.

That's what the boards are for....and it's the participation of the members that make a board as good as it can be.
