Last week I forgot to mention the 5th anniversary of this board, so let's make up for that now. All we had before that was a Letters Page in which I would print occasional correspondence from
CSR readers. (It's still out there if anyone's curious, but I removed the link from the main site. The link is somewhere on this forum - look for a topic called "Letters Page" or something like that.) A Letters Page was in keeping with my view of CSR as a magazine-type entity, but it was terribly limited compared to the dynamism a discussion forum made possible. So at the urging of
JimC and a few others (as I remember it now) I created the first data base for CSR we had ever needed and installed the software for this board. Although we don't have the traffic Chross's board does, over the years we've put out a lot of material here. Most of the 1600 attachments are due to Resident Artists Overbarrel and B00m, while Daneldorado and I have linked quite a few images (I don't have a count for them). Let's hope that phpBB keeps fixing the software when necessary, because I wouldn't have the time to keep modifying it myself (I do install new versions when they become available from phpBB, and that's quite enough effort, believe me).
For links to this week's updates please go to the
Home Page by clicking on "Chicago Spanking Review" at the top of this or any other Forum page.
- Humorama Update: the putative second appearance of Bill Ward's Spanked for Buying the Wrong Hat!
- From Janus Spanking Special #2: Another nice, simple, OTK photo.
I've completed my plans for the remainder of this year. Basically, we'll continue on as we have been with two updates per week (if possible). Everyone's pretty busy at this time of the year, and if you're going to miss any CSR updates (which you shouldn't!) I don't want it to be anything really startling (but see the description of 12/12 below). The
Christmas Special will be 12/26, although I'll get the "decorations" up on 12/05, and we'll see Dick Van Dyke give
Mary Tyler Moore two or three nice whacks with a rolled-up magazine on 12/12, which I chose because it's very close to the 50th anniversary of the date on which that episode of
The Dick Van Dyke Show first appeared on television. Probably every spanko who remembers the show wanted to see MTM spanked

, and it sort of did happen, but alas with no OTK position.
