Forum News

JustinMacumber — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 20:21:16 +0000

Everyone, we’ve had several people ask for access to the forum, so I have reopened it to user registration. An Admin will need to activate the account, so once you register please email your user name to show@deadrobotssociety.com and we’ll activate you. I still don’t know of a way to make the forum open to invite only or of a better way to combat spammers, so this is all on a “let’s see how it goes” basis. I hope it works out, for us and for you.

A Sad Beginning To The Year

JustinMacumber — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 13:16:52 +0000

For those who do not know, yesterday (01/06/10), the wife of Podiobooks founder and all around great guy Tee Morris passed away due to illness. It was sudden and unexpected, and sadly she leaves behind not only a wonderful husband, but also a young daughter, neither of whom deserve this tragedy. To make things worse, they also have a mountain of debt to go along with their mourning. We can’t make their emotional mountain any easier to climb, but we can show our love and support by helping chip away at their monetary concerns. Philippa Ballantine has setup a ChipIn account, all without Tee knowing about it, to help do just that. Please take a moment and go by. Tee has been a wonderful friend to this show, and I think we can all afford to help him in his time of need.

Thank you.
