I just registered a new domain that reflects the name of our group a little better than "danbodigitalmedia". Although I'm not getting rid of that domain, the new domain for the pics, backup forum and events calendar will be "nhvtxriders.com"
The new links are below in my sig and I will put the locations here as well. If you have bookmarked the old locations, you will need to change your bookmarks.
Here are the new links: (going to "danbodigitalmedia.com/photogalleries" etc. will no longer work)

Photo Galleries: http://nhvtxriders.com/photogalleries

Events Calendar: http://nhvtxriders.com/eventscalendar
(http://nhvtxriders.com/eventscalendar)
Backup Forum: http://nhvtxriders.com/forums

For people new to the group, the backup forums are just a place to go in the event the VTXOA board goes down during a planned ride. We had that issue last year with people communicating via the board for information on a ride, only to have the main board go down. Feel free to register and always have a place to go in case of VTXOA downtime.

I don't know if this is a great idea. I put up the nh-vtx site last summer to help further our group and have simple to use forums on that to help out if this site goes down. I know that when I'm new to a hobby I search for forums and groups related to what i'm doing. If someone was to search for NH Vtx or a variation and came across your forums they would see that there is no activity and might stop looking. If they see the gallery sight there is no real direction pointing them to us here, or anywhere else. Same thing with the calendar, that is populated, but alot of generic info about tons of events that aren't planned by us.

It's not my position to tell anyone in the group what to do, but I just have been pondering it and think it will be confusing for someone if they don't have the right guidance from the start as where to find the correct information and how to be a part of it.
