kastriot brings up very important points.
The site is the work of many. From the early days, Jan the original owner was in some ways a pioneer. A forum like this in 1999 was something. Debs who took over when Jan had to leave. Numerous mods, active, fun, good members. I have tried to keep it going too.
To be honest I see some good features in other forums (yes even an Inter forum, but I went there only to see what they are saying about us
) that I would love to be able to put here and make the forum more fun and attractive, this hasn't always been possible and I take some, if not most, of the blame/responsibility for it.
I am open to another donation drive, but like posted earlier in this thread (see my and Elmago99's posts earlier) it is much much easier if it's a long term thing. I am working on the cost effective thing but it is not too late and the Contributors forum is open.
Last week I posted a link to this thread in a couple of the busy International threads, but yes we have work to do to let everybody know...now, before and if/when we change.
I am open to hearing ideas, be they about contributions or not. Thanks for reading and helping.
kastriot, I will ask for help testing and may be other things, thank you.
