Some New Features in the MakingLaps.com Forum

While retaining the integrity of the 2004 Message Board, we wanted to be able to organize posts, and break things down a little better.  We think you will find the new format to be useful, simple to navigate, and more visually appealing.  The basics are the same, but we went to a multi-section format to be able to achieve those goals.  Please try it.  Your comments and suggestions are encouraged on the board or privately to webmaster@makinglaps.com, our AOL friends can reach us at  MakingLaps@aol.com, as well as AIM to MakingLaps.

• ARCADE:  We chose a few vintage video games to place in our forums.  (Mostly for use during those long race nights waiting for the eyewitness reports.)  Registered members need to Login to play, you can submit your scores and the top ten will be listed.  MakingLaps.com Forum will surprise our members with some giveaways for highscores.  We included Tetris, Space Invaders, Asteroids, and Pacman.  Have a favorite?  There are many to choose from, put in request and we'll see what we can do.
