This forum has content not available anywhere else on the 'net because of the knowledge of its members. It has been an invaluable resource for me, and I am very thankful for it. Thank you Lazz for doing all this work. I hope you continue with this or a similar venue.

I know it was mentioned before but the Bananas.org forum is pretty user friendly and you might look at that format.

Also as has already been pointed out the resource this forum provides is invaluable. Having said that maybe you should consider a premium level and charge an annual fee.

Something around $19.95 per year and maybe a lifetime membership. This forum does costs money either through time spent or something else. It is only fair that it should pay it's way and support the administrators that do the work. Do not think of this as a selfish thing but as good business.

We will all loose if the forum is lost. I could not put a price on the education I have received here and the good friends I have found.

There seems to be various forums based on the same template as this.
Are the same problems occuring on all such forums ?

I've talked about this before,,
I use IPB for my forums,, If you have access to the database on this forum you can do a DB back up and load it to another forum.. as long as you have access to the servers. easy to do.
