This coming weekend, the BoD of the Venturers is tentatively scheduled to unveil the new site for the Venturers. The overall look won't change much but there will be some changes. Our time with our current server host initially was great but recurring problems with the site have made it necessary for us to part ways. We have decided to take control again of our site instead of an outside group maintaining it for us. The past three months have been difficult, at best, for our members to get on the forum and visit with their Venturer brothers and sisters around the world.
In light of the problems we've had, the Board of Directors decided to extend the memberships of all our members. I know there are a few that are members here so I wanted to make sure you were aware of the extension. Before the site goes on line, we will be adding three months at no cost to each membership to make up for the time that the site was messed up. We feel this is the only fair thing to do for our members. The problems were not of their doing but they were being penalized for the hosts problems. That's just not right.
For those of you that have not visited the Venturers.org site, come see us next week after we get the new site on line. There will be a few new features that may make you happy.

The switch has been thrown, ladies and gentlemen. Depending on how long it takes for the DNS pointers to change things in your part of the world, the new Venturers.org site will be available to you. This could take up to a couple of days or so. Some parts still need to be completed but the forum and most of the site is done. The Store and a couple other features need some fine tuning still. Overall, it's looking good.
Letting the cat out of the bag, so to speak, one change we made is to let ALL new registrations have a true 14 Day Free Pass to the entire site. All you have to do is register. This will give our European brothers a peek at our clubhouse and see if they would be interested in being a part of our group also. Regardless of whether you join or not, give it time to finish the migration and come on over. You're more than welcome!!
