Guests are welcome on Fibsboard but until you register, you cannot view pictures, board diagrams (for the problems and forum matches) and cannot participate in polls.

Registration is free and will allow you to join in comment and discussion here on Fibsboard.

in the meantime have a look round.........

VIP Donor members can now access articles on the random photos (see "Reader's wives" below Recent Topics mid way down this page). They also get fewer ads, faster loading,a VIP area, an expansive Profile area, open to whoever they like (their buddies) and a chess area where they can play others over an extended period (their moves being saved)

We are now fully migrated, any errors/bugs let me know. If you really want to advertise, let me know and, for a modest donation, we can set something up.
I have added a Donate button too but, if we have to have ads, then it might be nice to have them from fibsboarders!
Why not advertise your goods and services on Fibsboard?

we have have had >5000 members (now pruned to <2000), average around 2 new members a day and we get well over 100 visitors a day; 35% new, average 31 members online a day, av time on site for all visitors is > 6 minutes.

We have a core group of well over 200 members who regularly visit each month.

we welcome new Sponsors..keep the board going.....advertise your thing for a modest donation, details email webmaster@fibsboard.com

at present we have 3 google ads which although, i do not expect to meet our costs, will contribute and am willing to monitor.(32 cents last week!!)..i have just committed £200 towards this board for the next 2 years (unlimited bandwidth storage and backup) + a lot of time:) -- but i must ensure that this fibsboard approaches some sort of viability.

it would be great to include ads from boarders, but as we have limited space for such ads - and i don't want to increase the amount of space given over to them any more more than at present, they would have to be --at least on a par with the income generated at present....

so, much as i would like to include charitable ads, --- i must be sensible, and so it is really up to the "would be advertiser" to approach us with 'the product or service they want shown' together with an offer of a donation. i would then assemble an ad like for example the one for our crystalsolutions software or modify their own design. If someone wanted to have a banner ad at the top or bottom or side - then it would depend on the type of ad, and the amount of contribution. it would seem to be a balancing act of keeping the look of the board as it is, and ensuring that it can approach some sort of viability.

i shall be monitoring all of this over the next few months, and will consider all approaches...

Something strange is happening to me, not always, but occasionally, when I click on an unread post, I get a page with no color, just typing and my eyes.

Yes, I've also had a couple of occasions when the stylesheets didn't come into play until I reloaded. Speedwise it's been reasonable although it's too soon after the changeover to say for sure. The previous server, however, was quite often horrendously slow. That's treacle slow, as in: click for Fibsboard, wait a few seconds, give up, go to DailyGammon (in another window) and make a couple of moves, come back and the Fibsboard page was still loading.

thx Dick Playrabbit & Socksessssses,
just updated the Forum software so am hopeful your probs socks were because u were reading what i was at that very moment editing.

Thx Spielberg for making me aware that the Donate button linked to nothing! (and for being our latest donor..cheers!)

You need to reregister the nick - no one is using it, so you should be ok.  [Assuming that is the nick you used].
