Life is too short , MW is too good a site and neither Dan or I or any other moderator has the time or patience to play baby-sitter to folks who are adults.
Thanks for wading through this long post, but I wanted to take the opportuntity to state some basic truths about MW and my philosophy as messageboard administrator. Nothing personal intended, just some honest response to your comments that might benefit other members.

i see you dont have the time, but you can reply with a detailed 8 paragraph post! uh huh, yep, ok buddy....
if your not worried about hurting anyones feelings, then be prepared to get it thrown back at you. it goes with the territory...
DAN, i like your site. very good site actually. i am here to post about anything, not just Mustangs or cars. i personally dont care what you do for options on this site. you can make the sigs small, big, with pics, without pics, avatars, no avatars, whatever. i really dont care. all i care about is posting a thread and replying. you meet alot of cool people from this place. as long as i can keep in touch with the members on this board by posting, you do what you got to do. just remember, you cant get rid of a cockroach by just stepping on him
another thing
Dan, i keep hearing about personal expense to keep this site on the net. if you wanted it to be a free site, then dont expect handouts.
BUT! if you want to help your finances to keep this site, without digging into your personal funds, you either got to advertise more
OR (this is a good one that many agree upon) make more varities of Mustang Works t-shirts, sell them at a small profit and you can keep your site running. i know it takes time, but you are a web designer, so you can make up the logos and pictures yourself. all you need to do is go get them made. another thing is do a poll count. ask who would want a t-shirt for so and so price and give them the options of the style t-shirt(logos, sayings, pictures, etc...) they want and then you wont have to worry about making too many or not enough. just and idea. later for now, James....
