Ok lads..........
When I started this forum 18 months ago I had no idea where it would go or even if it would survive. Due to a lot of help from a few individuals in respect of forum layout, features, installed software and Google rankings it has gone far beyond where I expected it to go.
I've also done a bit of work on it myself but without the input from the regulars we would never be where we are now.
Also, with quite a lot of help from Dave, :appl: we are starting to get a few more sponsors on board. We've got one coming on soon with some top prizes!
In the near future, the forum is going to get a facelift - a new theme designed to replace this brown one. It worked well at the time but the colour scheme just feels wrong now. I'm going to do a bit of rejigging of the forum orders and prune a few of the posts. These will be archived but still available to view - perhaps create a section for memorable threads!!
All this comes at a price though...........
As we are getting sponsors on board I will have to insist that we don't swear on the forum as many of them won't want to be associated with that. But I've always said we should be treated like adults here so I'll be creating a new section, a sort of "Pub" where you'll be free to use the sweary chat if it's appropriate. All of the regulars and long term members will get automatic access - newbies will need to apply!
Hope this all sounds good to you - all we need is a name for The Pub. I'm open to suggestions - post your replies on this thread. And, as always, a Tokens boost for the best name!!
The judges decision will be final, no correspondence will be entered into and no getting upset and going crying to your mum if I didn't pick your idea for a name!
