Who's pissing about with the forum software ?

[Ricardoco]

It's the beginning of the end John. This forum as we know it will soon die & be replaced by a forum populated mostly with nothing.

I've seen it before on many sites over the years. The forum owner discovers they can make £money from the people that populate the forum & soon become focused on nothing more than making £money.

After pocketing a few £100's they wonder why all the people have disappeared.

I truly believe this forum owes its very existence to CNCZone, it is a poor imitation of it & its modest success is based upon it being UK focused.

Maybe the forum was created purely to build a user base that can then be exploited? I don't know.

But I do know that I've been here & done this before, learn't my lesson & formed the conclusion that once it becomes all about £money, then it's time for me to say goodbye.

Goodbye.

& a BIG thankyou to the folks who've shared their knowledge & not only educated but also entertained me without one eye on earning a quick £quid so far. See you all on the next forum to come along.

Ive an idea? why dont you show us how to do it?? Oh and dont forget the hosting fees, domain registration, search engine ratings, and the list goes on and on, and guess what, its not free..

I think the site owner does a good job in keeping this site free to its members and the advertising is related to the subject matter, so not a problem in fact ive used the odd link to buy stuff in the past, I for one am thankfull its here. Ive never been asked to contribute anything, it cost me nothing, and im up for anything that keeps the site here, and the costs and the owners end, and i hope he makes loads of cash from it too.

Oh and before i forget..






Things move on so fast dont they, maybe not always for the better, or maybe they are...
