Hi all!

As you can tell by my stellar post count, I'm new here. My husband and I run a couple of vB sites together. Up to now, he has done all the maintainance work. I am starting to learn some of it, though, and I'm having a blast! Just wanted to say Hi and that this seems like a great site...mental note - must bookmark! :D

Well a very big welcome to you bubbadog... gotta say I just love that username. Unique and sheer class... :)

Welcome.

Thanks Music Man! I started using it years ago; it was my black lab's name.

My husband is from Wales. He used to be the IT manager at a travel agency in Newport.

Well good gawd.... would you belive it. What an incredibly small world we live in. I am from Newport!!!!!!!

Amazed.....:)

Yeah, I noticed that was your location; that's why I mentioned it. He lived in Llanbradach. We are hoping to go this summer to visit his sister there.

Not far from Newport then. But hang on a minute... summer - in Newport, compared to summer in Texas.... eeeek....!!! are you sane!!! :)

Two words MusicMan...air conditioning! :D

Oh geeze - Music Man has a playmate... :D Welcome Bubbadog

Thanks for telling us that you are a lady and for telling us you are married, could have caused some real problems for some of us if you would not have provided the info.

Can you tell us a bit about your forums?

Welcome to VBW.....

Welcome to the forum. :)

Woohoooooo... at last... :) thought I was going to be all alone for a wee while there.

We have two sites right now, with a third probably coming online in the next few months. Terranuts (http://www.terranuts.com/) is a graphic arts community. It is growing really nicely. It sounds funny to say it, but even with just under 550 members, we are already having to start looking at dedicated hosting. It won't become a necessity for about a year or so. The images and dowloads take a lot of bandwidth, so we're trying to plan ahead. (If anyone knows of a good host for dedicated, please let me know!) Ninjamicros (http://www.ninjamicros.com/) is a computer hardware site with an active online gaming community as well, mostly SWG. (I think!) I must admit that my involvement with the gaming side of things is pretty much limited to finding new smilies for them. The site owner and another admin there take care of that side of things; I am more involved in the hardware side of it.
