I bet most people would have thought the paid up members would be in the high hundreds if not more,and bat was on to a good earner, but with just 306, by the time you have paid for the hosting I bet there's not a lot left over!
I bet you'd be lucky to get £50 a week out of it,if that ?. it's a hobby!

Don't know who you host with, but I run a few websites/forums and I would have plenty over from 306 paid up members from using my site host. You could not make a living tis true...

Wah am i really reading right, atleast two people agree with me

And yeah hosting can't be that expensive but as mentioned a hobby. I love this site, sometimes I get fed up of it but I couldn't imagine it not being here anymore

Amen brother, I mean we give you some stick but the forum would be worse off without you.

If I had it my way, Bring Ryan back, Stinka too, I'd have a word with the guy upstairs and and bring Plank and Rustygates back too and that's how I'd keep it forever.

I wouldn't change this place for the world!!!!

I just did another quick count up ,again only in the A's and was quite shocked to see that out of the 256 "members" almost half had never visited the site again after initially joining

Some may be placeholders so the username doesn't get used

So some of the members have never been members at all,there names earmarked so no one can have them ?.

this makes the members total even more inaccurate,

It all seems a bit face book friends to me,if there not real members then there not members at all and any one who has not visited the forum in three years is not a member.
