FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BEARNATION.us voted "Best Bear Website" for 2009, the second year in a row!

BEARNATION.us continues to astound!  At age 20 months, when other sites would be learning to walk, BEARNATION.us is moving at the speed of light!  This creative site bills itself as a social site for the masculine gay community, and it delivers.  BEARNATION.us has been named "Best Bear Website" by the The Complete Bear (thecompletebear.com) for the second year in a row.  Other far more established sites with more users who have far less to offer have been passed over again for this honor, and quite rightfully so...  

BEARNATION.us continues to be free, and the quality of the site is clearly superior.  Don't just take our word for it, in the Cubs Out Loud podcast (cubsoutloud.com), February 8th; COL102, the producer compared the pros and cons of several bear websites and noted that BEARNATION.us has the content, features, and connectivity that clearly makes it deserving of this honor.

Come by and see the future of the bear community online.

You've posted a comment or content and it shows up in the main activity feed on your user home page (My BEARNATION page) HERE: http://www.bearnation.us/user_home.php After seeing it there you notice a typo or that you may not want that information in the main feed for all to see. Maybe you've just hit the enter key on a comment page and posted the standard "Write Something, Comment here" text that's in the comment box on almost every item on the site. We've all done, I still do it on occasion. Well did you know that if you simply go to your profile page and look at the recent activity that has been feed to the main activity feed that there is a little white "X" next to each item.
