central "Story Board Index" page
is currently under construction. Some Boards are already activated and linked from the
Index. Boards can also be accessed from the web pages in the sections they are associated
with.

Announcements
| ALP Discussion
Boards and Forums section has been re-activated
Recent E-mail exchanges between several
Autodiners prompted the re-activation of the ALP Message Boards and Forums. You can reach
the Forums Topic Page from any ALP page button on the "Shortcut" Bar, or you can
go to the ALP Forum "jumping off" page by clicking the 'Forums' Button on the
main navigation bar.

| The ACNet Groove
Project has been placed in abeyance for the current time. This is due to
the heavy resource requirements placed on client PC's for full implementation. Several
Autodiners who wish to install ACNet have been unable to do so since they do not have the
resources needed. Groove Networks is working on a "client only" system that will
not require the heavy resource drain as the current full node does. When released at that
time, we will review the system and if indicated, we will reopen the ACNet Project. We are
also reviewing other peer-to-peer solutions at this time.
