Chad: Sounds like a great plan for these e-mail addresses and glad you've been thinking this through. I was opposed to the idea when I first saw that we might all be assigned e-mail addresses.

Now, I'm looking forward to it, especially with my GBI franchise. The possibilties are unlimited!

I have great news Ghostheads,

After much hard work (including, lots of research, calculating, and coding) I have completed the Ghostbusters.net Mail part of the 2.0 upgrade.

This is a MAJOR leap forward for the Ghostbusters online community. There is still much left to complete in order to launch version 2.0. I look forward to showing you Ghostbusters.net Mail and many other new features that will make this site look VERY old and lame.

Ghostbusters.net old and lame?? These must be killer updates . Frankly, I'm saddened. No, not saddened … what's the word? Ah yes; delighted !

Seriously though, I can't wait. This sounds great. Yet another reason why GB.net is my favorite site.

YES! Good going chad, cant wait to use my GBN e-mail…now about that chat room..hey! put down the pitch fork…

All in time GBVA. Right now I see no reason to have a chat room, the community isn't big enough yet. Plus, chat rooms tend to go off topic more and I think we have a hard enough time staying on topic with a message board (improving, and it will get better).

This all sounds Jolly good, when will all this be done and ready to use?

Ghostbusters.net 2.0 will launch sometime late 2002/ early 2003. I'm not releasing it until I beleive things are perfect.

No worries though, the site will still be maintianed and updated until then. No loss of content.

and what exactly is ghostbusters.net 2.0?

Ghostbusters.net 2.0 or GB Central 7.0, or whatever you want to call it is….

A catalyst to the rebirth of the community with more features, security, and content.

The key value structure behind the upgrade is to bring the site back to building the community as a whole. Giving fan projects, including fan fiction, props, fan films, art, etc, more exposure.

Giving Ghostheads communication tools as well - Ghostbusters.net email and a “build your own GB Board” feature for webmasters.

Sounding good Chad, I have a few idea's that i'll put right here too. in the side bar below our names it has our hidden IP codes for the mods to look at, fancy, yeah right. What if you where to put extras in there? Like “E-mail Me at Ghostbusters.net” or “Read my Fan fiction” kind of thing. Im not really sure what you could do, but it just needs something “extra” to it. other than that it sounds awsome and i cannot wait! oh yeah..how about a more in depth Franchise section? I recently came accross contract forms and cool downloads for Franchises, it could have a full equipment list, ghost classification, explain what a franchise acts to be and what really is. links, well you get the picture, Im more than willing to help out on that and if you have not noticed me vince, and Ecto DJ have been discussing a GB RPG website, and several other people may be interested in it as well, make another tab? okay well yeah this all takes up a lot of server space but just some ideas from the world of Dan!
