Hello All,
Welcome to the Caloosahatchee BBS.
This is the place where everyone has the capablility of communicating with every one else. Post your messages and everyone can read them.
You must register and log in in order to post, but we haven't posted any restrictions on registration yet. We ask that you register under your own name instead of using handles so that everyone knows who you are. You do not need to be registered or logged in in order to read the posts.

Welcome aboard!

Update: Due to an overwhelming attack from outsiders, I am changing the membership process for the BBS. Normally we get 1 or 2 new members a month, but during the past couple months, I have been hit with about 4 or 5 a day. Unfortunately these aren't people that really have anything good to share with us. Most of them seem to be promoting gambling websites or porn websites.

In order to help identify the good from the bad:

* No more handles, you must use your first and last name.
* I have changed the BBS settings to require that final activation of a new account must be done by me. This will unfortunately cause a delay of activation, so please be patient with me.
* Also, when you create an account, please send me an e-mail to let me know who you are, and your connection with Caloosahatchee.
* I am deleting approximately 50-100 new accounts for every 1 new account that is actually legitimate. If I delete your account that I mis-identified, please coordinate with me by e-mail.
