There were many problems with the message forums, maintaining a link between that code and the new site as well as getting people to use it. It seems as though many people wanted the forums to vent but they weren't being used when it was finally implemented and so they have been removed from the current version.

Everyone seems to be moving toward social networking, myself included. That said, I've created a Page on Facebook to allow users to join, share ideas, photos and more -- without having to maintain it. It's a win-win for everyone!

Please search "LitterButt.com" on Facebook, join the group and help make it one of Facebooks better pages!

New Member Control Bar

Rewriting the website has been on my list for quite a while however it's one of those things where paying the bills comes first... and then the non-profit causes. That said I've put my fingers to the keyboard and reorganized the site to make it friendlier - keeping the same general design so users don't get ticked off and fire off hate emails.

The biggest improvement is our Member Control Bar:

The Member Control Bar will allow you to log in and out from any page and show which user is logged in, just in case you have multiple family members who use LitterButt. Once logged in you will have your Rank displayed and the total number of users. You will also have access to the Litter Statistics. Best of all, these items are always available from any page -- no need to navigate the menus to find them.

So What If I Throw My Butts on the Ground? They're Biodegradable, Right?

WRONG!! If you throw your cigarette butts on the ground, they eventually find their way to the ocean and other water sheds and YOU are contributing to the most commonly found man-made waste that originates from land! "The Ocean Conservancy, a nonprofit environmental organization based in Washington, D.C., compiled the results of a shoreline cleanup day conducted by volunteers last year in 68 countries. It covered a combined 34,000 miles of shoreline and collected 7 million pounds of litter, 80 percent of which had been washed from land into the water. Of the 7.7 million items of debris collected worldwide in 2006, cigarettes and cigarette butts accounted for roughly 1.9 million, the sixth consecutive year they have topped the list.

"People think they are biodegradable," said Kathryn Novak, coordinator for the Florida branch of the Ocean Conservancy. They're not, so think before flicking that cigarette butt out the car window."
