I don't remember Steve asking for suggestions of how to make money for the forum?? :confused:
He has asked for people to come forward if they feel they are able to take on the Admin role as he has his hands full! :rolleye:

....Nath, I think that the thread's title "History of the Forum" has become 'Future of the Forum' and it does seem an ideal opportunity for folks to post and share their views and ideas about how the forum can best manage to self-finance itself (without financial profit) in its new future without SteveP as Admin.
Of course, any Admin team can choose to ignore the views expressed and arrange matters as only they think best. The forum isn't a democracy AFAIK.

I understand this Robin, but it just turns into another thread like the one about Phil where the whole thread is made up of guesswork and speculative suggestions. Until such a time when someone does take over from Steve they may indeed ask the members for suggestions, but until that time I really don't see the point in all this talk of suggesting members have to pay! :confused:

The reason?
Have you seen the members list with people who join then never come on here?
Also it stops the time wasters and people who just want to wind people up, sammy, trolling I think its called.

Yeah thats great for all of us. But can you honestly say that when you first came to the forum, without having seen it, or got to know any people, you would have paid a tenner to join?

What about a 3 month free trial with full access so people can find out how great it is, get addicted like us, and then they'll happily part with an Ayrton! :happy2:

....You're not wrong, Nath :happy2: Understood.

Must admit that as someone who has only joined the site a few days ago I feel gobsmacked that it could close down. Please, please will someone with the requisite skills please take it over? Despite the fact that I'm a newbie I really do think the site is a good forum and I would thank all involved for their contributions especially the Site Administrator who I am sure contributes massively to making it such a success.
Please don't let it sink without trace!!!

^^^^
I don't think that anyone has suggested that the site would close down. The hunt is on to find a replacement just for Admin SteveP as he now has other commitments etc.
