The Spain forum as it is today has taken over two years to grow and develop from my early dabbling with web site design.
Originally I had no intention or idea about developing an internet forum. Things have just progressed from a simple idea and grown with time.
In January 2003 I was involved in a car accident. Which left me with a damaged back and a career as a refrigeration and air con engineer in tatters.

Evolution of the Spain forum
Posted 12-06-2008 at 07:40 PM by Lee
As my internet experience has evolved, so has the forum and its design, looks and features.
Gone are all the standard features along with a rather drab look.
Many are admittedly put off by an over complex look and feel.
We still have the same basics as all the other forums. But with a few extras thrown in for luck.
Late 2007 the classifieds were added.
By adding this it has enabled clear posting of sales and wanted adverts. It also gives the advertiser a one stop hit to be able to sell their goods.
No need to host pictures else where then link to them. Click on the post advert, add your words then your pictures job done.
To help your advert get noticed by the search engines and help others see the advert who are browsing the main forum, an advert is automatically generated and posted there.
This is to do with terminology called search engine optimisation.
Two years ago I would have given a blank look if this was mentioned, today we run a program in the back ground dedicated to this.
If your reading this, you are in the blogs section. Something that I have personally shied away from myself. Again this was added in late 2007 in case anyone wanted to use it.
The mini arcade was recently added. Several hundred games are there for people to use if they get bored or want to take on our resident games arcade lurker.
As people will notice there has been and still is a lot of trial and error going on in the progressive and on going development of the Spain forums
