I too would love to be able to look after the forum, but I'm more a hammer and chisel man than a PC and software man.

....I think that you would make a very good 'local' Moderator for the Modifications & Technical area of the forum, rather like richwig is for the How-to Guides area. Plus you already have experience of being a Moderator on another forum website.
If it helps, I could probably only be trusted to Moderate the VAG Babes area - Like an alcoholic in a brewery!
But by appointing different Moderators restricted to specific areas it will lighten the load of Global Moderators in the site's future.

2nd that... You would make A certain Cat unemployed in my book. :popcornsoda:
Hope someone comes foward to take over, will be a shame to see the site close. Difficult boots to fill of Mr Pounds.

Sorry, but I'm not happy to pay a compulsory membership fee. Beyond paying an Internet Provider, I strongly believe that access to all web sites should be free and I don't bother to visit those which charge, whoever they are and whatever they provide.
As far as this site is concerned I consider that I already contribute enough in the form of help to others etc etc not to have to pay for access. Sorry, my view might be unpopular but I'm just being honest about my feelings in this respect.
If it must be done, then the suggestion of a £1 per "For Sale" item listing is a good and fair one, in my opinion. :happy2:

sorry have to disagree with you redrobin, i think a token gesture of maybe £10 or £20 per year would be more than fair then maybe £1 per listed for sale item if needed, we all save a lot of money on this site so i think most people would be ok with it

....That's a good idea - It would achieve the same and doubtless be much easier to manage for both this site's Admin team and for the sellers. :happy2:
However, the Admin team have to find a replacement for SteveP first. Without a public announcement, we don't know when this will happen - The changover is likely to be seamless apart from the possibility of an interruption to change servers.

....Someone who is retired and who consequently has a lot of time and dedication is clearly an advantage but absolutely useless if they don't have an extensive expertise in IT (as SteveP has).
I think that having extra Moderators who are limited to specific areas (like already done with richwig is on How-to Guides) is an excellent idea because it lightens the load on Global Moderators. What happens is of course up to the decisions of the Admin team.
