Hello Everyone,
 
I know some people here are bummed right now because of the recent loss of the Stomach Punching and Navel Love board, and that includes me so....

I wanted to post this around a few places to invite wandering souls and everyone to the BellyPunchNetwork.com site.

When Jack and the gang get the new board going, we'll link to it to help wandering souls find their way back to the new SPnNL! Even though those guys seem weird towards me for some reason... but oh well, shucks... B)

Because more people are wandering around right now after the loss of the SPnNL board, I opened up registration process at the network so that you don't need someone to manually approve you if you're a new member. REGISTRATION IS NOW INSTANT! I will leave it that way as long as we don't have any problems with spammers, people signing up for more than 1 account with the same IP, spambots, or other sleazy moves and shakers...

We have lots of cool features now, and more coming all the time. I want to show you some about it here with some Screen Captures.
 
Here's the Member's Page. This is what you get to once you sign up and become a Member.
 

 
Every Member has their own profile and you can do all this stuff plus a lot more that I can't remember:

- Add friends
- Watch and share video clips from YouTube, Vimeo OR your computer
- View and share photos/photo albums
- Chat
- Instant Message
- Use the forum

And you can also post on the member's home page "Wall", which is a constant stream of the latest activity on the site. This is what MY Profile Page looked like a few half years ago, it's MUCH more filled up these days!
 

 
No matter what page you are on, you can talk to other members via your Instant Messages. A small tag will appear at the bottom of the page when you have a new message. If you have minimized the box and your friend sends you a new IM, the tag will blink. Each person you are IM'ing with will appear as a seperate small tag, similar to Yahoo IM. (See Below V)
 

 
Here's what the IM kind of looks like while being used.
 

 
Here's MY favorite thing so far, the videos. This is how my video gallery looked a few half years ago... but it's MUCH more filled up now!
 

 
Here is the "Add a video" screen. It's so easy to do that I have to constantly go get some more clips to share.
 

 
VISIT THE BELLYPUNCH NETWORK and SIGN UP and GET IN INSTANTLY!
 
Thanks,
 
Jim

I tried joining up a while ago, but it keeps saying I need to wait for admin approval.

Hello,

For a long time, I had everything set so that I had to manually approve each new sign up.

I stopped doing that to give people easier and quicker access to the site, figuring what the hell?... I can always bounce the fakes and spammers if they come in.

HOWEVER, people seem to be forgetting to validate their email address. I don't know WHY they are forgetting, I mean each page comes up with instructions to take you through the whole process, but still they are stopping themselves from gitting in because they aren't opening the email the site sends out during sign up and validating the address.

I think you are in at this point, but if I'm wrong just let me know and I'll fix you right up.

Thanks,

Jim

All good...my spam filter bounced the validation email into the trash folder.
