The following is some helpful information regarding this forum.

The 'Racing News' section is where I post all news related to horse racing, it is closed to all members to prevent clutter if you have any news please post it in the lounge and I will move it to the news section and credit you.

'The Derby' is where I will post all stuff related to the Kentucky Derby Hopefuls (except News), it is open to members as long as you post things relative to the topic.

Then there is 'The Lounge' speak your mind on anything, as long as there is no spamming or harassing.

Regarding Staff positions I will be 'hiring staff' to help out with the forum at sometime but not now, because there is no need for them now. But until then I will be watching members to see who I think will make good staff. I will be looking for 'Reporters' to help me find and post news and moderators to keep the members in check. I will think of other positions as we need them. Like I said not hiring now but I will be watching. Thank You.

I also will be changing this forum to match what is happening in the world of racing it is currently 'Run to the Roses' refering to the Road to the Kentucky Derby. So I will need somebody to make banners and graphics so if you know how to do that please PM me. I currently need an 88x31 mini-banner for this site, I have posted requests in couple design forums but to no avale.

I hope you all enjoy this site and stay productive and active.

I now have the mini-banner up and think it looks great, but I still would like some graphics experts. Also, regarding the changing designs of this forum, I won't be doing that currently because I have already got behind since Giacomo won the Kentucky Derby I decided to skip the TC theme I was planning on, because I knew that Afleet Alex would sweep the rest of the TC and well he did, I will update any changes I have in mind for this site as they arise, Thank You.

I will be trying to keep this forum as clean as possible, we don't have many members so I haven't closed threads that I would like to, so if you post in a thread and it gets deleted or moved to 'The Archives' please don't be offended it is just part of an ever changing process to try and get this forum the best it can be. As with any new forum I need the members feedback, I gave this place up for awhile due to lack of activity and also lack of really wanting to keep up a forum that I was the only member of, so please help me make this place better. Also I won't be posting news for awhile due to focusing on other areas of the forum, don't worry I get pretty much all of my news from only a few sources mainly Bloodhorse.com so check there for any news until I can get that going again. This color is something I like and it probably won't change until I feel it is needed, I must use some codes to keep this place looking good, and some of those eliminate the possibilty of users picking their own 'skin' that they like best, once I figure out a way to have gradients and allow the users to change the 'skin' I will surely implement it. Thanks for reading this and please continue to check back here for updates.

I have now started a Race(s) of the Week section so all can be informed on the latest information on the biggest races happening that week, I will also be including my picks. Please note that this section is only available to registered members, so please join, it's free!

BTW, I picked the exacta, trifecta, and superfecta on the Preakness. I also picked the exacta on the Belmont. To those who had Giacomo in the Kentucky Derby, yah right!!!

I am now very proud to announce, I have my very own host! Everything is now in a transition mode, I used to rely on various hosts like ImageShack for my pictures and FreeWebTown for my extra pages, but now I have one host called FileFarmer that will be hosting all of the content of this site except the actual forum which is hosted by Proboards. This new host should be reliable and I won't lose any images like I have with ImageShack, it is very fast and you won't experience any problems during the transition period, you will only experience faster loading times and no more broken images. It will allow me to maintain the website a lot easier, I couldn't access my files with Image Shack, meaning I had to upload the file everytime something changed and change the url everywhere, now the url will stay the same so no more broken images. This new host can hold of this sites content and more, if anyone needs something hosted I will be glad to offer some space. I may also be announcing in the future, a front page an actual website not just forums, that's right big news in the world of SoK. I hope you guys are as excited as I am. Please be advised that the website isn't in development yet, I have no plans as of now to make it now, I am concentrating on the forums, but I now have the capability and it may happen.

A Gallery has been added, you can access it via the Gallery button on the menu bar. As of now there are only pictures of Afleet Alex that are available at AfleetAlex.Com. I look forward to members providing me with their own pictures for use in the Galley, thanks.
