Sad stuff having been a relative new member, i can see the potential of the site it's construction is a wonderful homebrew of info that once you have got over the abbreviations on the pages,starts to make sense then you realise that it's all there for you just waiting for you to seek the correct questions to be answered and sure you will have newbies like me coming on saying how do you do this, how do you do that without searching the answers that are out there, as we are green but in a couple of weeks it all comes good and it's a wonderful tool,
If rob is into staying on as steward/guardian of the site would this be an idea to raise funds (i am sure anyone who appreciates and values the site would be up for something like this) after a say two month trial period newbies like me are asked to contribute a small fee (i am guessing by the stats that the number of new members are known so as a relative amount of fee could derived to cover monthly costs.
I guess for this new members could recieve a forum sticker or some such thing?!
As the alternative is adverts all over the forum promoting bio diesel products pumps,tanks, heating elements etc though this would(rightly) reward the site owner for his blatant hard graft on this forum it would i guess make the whole site more difficult to navigate.
The third option is rather sad giving this forum away rob you deserve our support and i will duly flash you some cash next week upon my pay arriving not a drama your time has value and so does the forum regards Andy
