Just to clear things up, I am not selling this board. No money was involved in the partnership what-so-ever. After much consideration I have agreed to allow Martin to do some work and partner up wth me, to hopefully eliminate my costs for running this site. I am not getting paid to have him as a partner, rather I am hoping that he can bring more traffic, thus some ad revenue in to offset my expenses atleast.

Have you actually read the shite posted at that link. The chaps are fuckwits.
Why does anyone have a problem with the person who operates this board making a profit. As long as the forum works well, is stable and is reliable that is all that matters to me.
I have no more interest in who is behind it than I have in why NTL provide my cable TV and broadband interweb. As long as it fecking works.
I beg to differ.
I think we all have the inalienable right to post all the shite we deem necessary on the bulletin board and skin of our chosing. Rookie, although a poor college student who made an investment that is not paying off as he had hoped, must find it in his philanthropic heart to provide this service as we see fit and bend to accomadate our wishes.
And you're forgetting the dear monthly dues we pay.
Oh shit, I don't have a point!
I guess those opposed to skin changes and post count loss could either buy the board or start donating to Rookie to make our current setup worth his while.
It's a put up or shut situation, if you ask me.
I'm just glad we have a fast, secure, fun place to play.
Dumping old posts would be a very bad idea. I would leave the forum for sure. I don't want to re-invent the wheel.
Aren't we in the trust tree, thingey?

I wouldn't worry too much about what Ad-aware finds, I've often thought it was crap and tonight it proved itself admirably.Originally posted by nigel123@17 August 2004 - 23:39
J'Pol, I remember you being rather upset when 7thE reduced the width of the forums here; you having a 19 inch monitor. Well, with VB, you will be able to get by on about a 10 inch monitor.
I checked the forum from the new admin, it's really ugly and not very busy. There were about six members online.
Maybe it's me, but I can compose music better sitting by the sea than in a hospital ward. Not a very good analogy but VB is so sterile and uninspiring. I suppose I just prefer the style of IPB.
EDIT: After visiting his site I ran an 'ad-aware' scan and found 5 data miner cookies in my cache.
I also ran it after visiting that site. But first I checked for updates to Ad-aware. The only thing it came up with was that it thought having a start page of "about:blank" was probably a data miner.

Well, truth be told, we have probably been taken over by the RIAA...
@Lynx I like to keep my computer "clean", so I always run ad-aware after I visit 'new' sites.

My point (such as it was) was that I also ran Ad-aware. How come I didn't get any data-miner cookies? And the fact that it thinks about:blank is a potential data-miner shows just how useless it is at predicting data-miners.
Having said that, I don't permit cookies that go back to third party sites. If you allow those
1) you may have got some which are blocked on mine
2) you deserve everything you get.

That links thread looks just like ours(colors are the main difference). It also seems to be vb. So what's the big deal with the change of software?
