It would be nice to have a bit more info on why the sudden change in policy. Not that I complain because if have been on here for a while. Just curious.

I wish I knew about the donations sooner! Atleast this change has made me see this option! I am more than happy to donate and give something back :)Quote:

I've been here with other sites in the past - and the forums take a hit. People post when it's something they believe in or are passionate about. Forcing them to post is never, in my 40+ years, been a good thing for any forum (and I'm going back into the BBS days). Just my two cents...
Maybe you are not complaining but the old farts who call this place home most certainly are (they have no sense of humour!), however, the site owner has his rules and the rest of us have to abide by them, this is his place after all, just that he doesn't have to wade through the treacle bath of shit posts that have cropped up, never mind the poor mods who have to moderate them :lol:Quote:

won't most people just make their 2 posts to get access again then go back to lurking?Quote:

One can only hope :dry:
Not sure the intent is being established - don't particularly care for the policy, but will post something to meet the requirement. Seems kind of a heavy handed way to run the forum. Some just don't particularly have anything to add/upload.
peace.
Im fine with the change... just makes me slap myself for not posting sooner! If the file is taken off my server before I can get that button back I'll have no one to blame but myself :-P
Agreed!Quote:
