I am sure there would be a lot of members willing to cough an annual fee too. This is up there with the best forums Ive been on - such a massive knowledge base!

Im sure my missus expects to see me on some "adult sites" but 9 times out of 10 I'ts this forum thats on my screen!
Cheers Steve!

Part 3 - The Future


So on to the site's future, and in simple terms it's time for a change.

While the site has been a challenge at times I have still enjoyed my time running it but now I have to focus on some other priorities in life and as part of a major change in my career I need to find someone to take over the ownership / day to day running the site, i.e. as the site administrator.

It's needs to be someone with a true passion for it because it does take a lot of time and commitment!

You will also need some technical skills on web site hosting (apache webserver, PHP, MySQL and SMF Forum Software).

We have been approached in the past by other forums offering to take this place over but I would really like to find someone to take the site on and forward in something similar to it's current guise.

So if your interested in helping or just want to ask any questions please drop me a line

As always I appreciate all the contributions, help and support you have all given me and the site over the past 4 years  

Thanks,

SteveP

Not sure if you want to put it in the public domain or discuss privately but roughly how much does this forum cost to host and run per year and taking any moderation duties out of the equation, how much time does the admin side take up.

[SteveP]

Costs are around £95 a month and time is variable but at least one day per week typically.

Wow, I don't have the time or the money to do that, you clearly have a lot of commitment and that it what makes this forum one of the best.  Hats off to you

I can probably take this on, plus can host it on site as I work at a datacenter 

Can you PM me more details on how its currently running - guessing its a dedicated VPS somewhere?

Cheers
