UPDATE ON SITE ENHANCED TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES: That last lapse wasn’t a crash.

Terry came on board here shortly after I joined BTB. I enjoyed his writing in the Star and his activity here on BTB. Sadly we're coming up on the 7th anniversary of his incredibly premature passing (December 21, 2018).

Wow, that is really touching...such a cool story. I had no idea!

 

I can remember the first time I thought we made it big here at btownbanners....I was browsing the sports section of barnes and noble and found a book Hutch had wrote...and on the back it was stated "head writer of btownbanners.com" It felt like a "wow we made it" moment. Terry has several books for sale still to this day on amazon and other book stores across the country. He was a pleasant guy to work with, and his passing still hurts me. 

 

Here is the cover of one of a few books he had our website on the back of:

link to his books on amazon, which I believe you can still purchase:https://www.amazon.com/stores/Terry-Hutchens/author/B001K8KW9A?ref=ap_rdr&shoppingPortalEnabled=true&ccs_id=a6e74c2c-9d08-418e-a38b-6041bdfb8f34 

I knew we had made it when one of our writers sent me this… credentialed!

We are officially back and officially into 2025.  MASSIVE site upgrades should mean insanely improved performance.  That being said, I'll continue to make the site feel more normal and correct colors and what not, I figured getting the site live was priority #1.  The rest you guys will be okay with hopefully!

Great work....we need this forum up and running for the CFP push!

Alright this looks better.  Alot of the functionality of the old site won't work on this new version, so I'll need to spend some time finding replacement parts for them all.
