[QUOTE="Graham Smith, post: 98149"] We don't 'have' to, but the whole infrastructure is currently paid for out of yours and my subs. Anyone that you see in red who logs on every day is using our facility for nothing (there are a number of them). I just thought it'd be a good way of getting some money in from visitors and non-Members. At this stage I haven't got a clue how much money it'll make us, but if after a year it makes us say £100, for no inconvenience to any Club Member, then I'd say we'd be fools not to take it. The forum isn't expensive to run, but there is a cost. There's the 'core' software for which you pay a license fee every year, so you can access all the updates. There's the 'hosting fee' which is a few hundred pounds that's payable every three years, plus a few enhancements that we have such as the calendar that Peter Appleton uses, plus some other bits and bobs that make my life easier in the 'back end' of the software. Ultimately, it all costs money, and I figured the ads would contribute to the cost. [/QUOTE]
