1) If I get a vote, then I give it to Dj as my proxy. I understand the issues, effort, technicalities and possibilities - the for's and against's and all that. But to be honest I believe the best I can do is to assign my vote to someone who has to deal with the daily practicalities and is at the sharp end of the stick. So, Dj gets my vote.
2) If future membership here requires an annual fee, I am absolutely willing to contribute. No issues.
3) If I can be of more assistance in the running of the board, I am willing to be trained and to do my bit. I'm here every day, I've got some IT background so if you want an extra set of hands to pitch in, just let me know.
The things I would hate to lose are (1) all the data we already have, (2) our post counts - don't mean to sound like a wanker, but my post count attests to the fact that I contribute to this community on a regular basis. (3) I hope that we can maintain the easy-going, tolerant nature of the board where we rely on members using common sense, sensitivity and fairness in their posts rather than use additional policing powers which might change those things.
Things I would like to have are (1) A proper search facility that can go back through ALL the threads (2) Better picture and linking functionality (3) more varied emoticons (4) A way to stop people logging in and plugging their product or spouting religion, politics or other fringe opinions - and never coming back again.
Having said what I'd like I also want to make it clear that I feel priviliged to be here and to have all this technology and all these services laid on for me - for my enjoyment. So, I'd like to send a big vote of thanks to all of those people who expend their time and effort to do all of these things. Greatly appreciated guys.
The older I get, the better I was. Regards.... Rob
