Hi, I'm Richard. Welcome to Wappapello.Net. My whole purpose for creating this site is to provide a place for people to share stories, recipes, hunting and fishing tips, gardening tips and pictures of all of the above.  Also this site should be a place where locals can go for everything related to Wappapello like the current lake stage, local weather, events like fishing tournaments, boat races, fireworks and more. Also there are concerts just about every weekend, political outreach dinners, dances, and many educational and entertaining events held by the Corps. I hope to have all of this information available on the community calendar soon.

I'm not sure how long it will take to finish developing this site, but until then I won't advertise or invite many people to visit. If someone happens to visit and chooses to register, all of that should be working just fine and it could use some testing out so I welcome anyone who wants to sign up. Also please use the contact form to let me know if you have any questions, complaints or suggestions.

The stories page shows 5 comments, but there is only this one. The reason is that I switched the database table for comments and the counter is still looking at the old table.

It's all better now, when the stories page loads it actually goes through the posts and counts the comments for each story. Before it was relying on a counter that was incremented and decremented when comments were created/deleted respectively, but the counter isn't reliable because during a database switch, many of the comments were added and not counted. Now it should work as advertised.

So far it's been three years since this story was written, and we've just now entered beta testing stage. Sorry it has taken so long, but the biggest reason has been that in the past three years nobody has joined. The only contact form submissions I've had in the past three years is from Chinese and Russian bots advertising viagra, website development and a little porn. I thought about making the comment form harder to use for robots, and I did add a place for website URL then hid it in CSS so if it had anything typed in it then I knew it was a robot and the website would just delete and ignore it, but most of them leave that field blank as if the page was rendered on an actual browser by a real person maybe, so I let them keep coming in. It's not a big pain to delete bot messages and they only come as texts to my phone so they aren't hurting anything (I never click on their links, I just delete them). Maybe soon we'll get some activity and make some progress.

Oh and you don't need to use the contact form for letting me know problems, simply comment on the page where the problem is. Places, events, home walls and stories can all be commented on, so if the problem is on any other page where comments aren't available, just post on my wall (rpstitz) and that'll be great thanks.
