Ok I'll try to add my view on this topic. There are so many angles and issues Im not sure if I will cover them all, but I will try.
I dont think Richard is to keen because he would work on the premise 'if it aint broken, dont try and fix it'. I hold to that view to up to an extent. But in truth it doesnt depend on Volvi and Richard alone, we dont own it as such. But perhaps bearing the responsibility of it coz we have for so long. As you know I started the club with the help of Peter Lee and busababy many years ago. PL doesnt involve himself with the board and bb no longer is a regular here. Richard came on board some 6 months later after I left a note on a busa I saw in the city letting the owner know of the existance of the club.
The current board has been operational for quite some years now. It certainly aint the best or the fanciest but does the job and is by now well known and linked elsewhere in many places.
Moving always carries its risks too. Though my personal feeling is that ezyboard isnt the right host in the longterm. Especially if considering the need for the board may exist for 20 yrs or more for future users. The cost of ezyboard is more expensive then most of us believe. I havent been involved in its financing Richard has taken care of that through the sale of club T shirts and proceeds held in account for this board. But now t shirts are taken care by vendors so income will not really be forthcoming. However....
Perhaps were approaching all this arse end first ie chat board. Maybe its a viable homepage with advertising revenue that shud be a first consideration and thereafter the chat brd.
Either way DJ whilst I truly appreciate all your efforts in the test forum, I dont think this is a venture to just jump into coz youve done what can be done with the test brd.
I have a feeling that whilst many would not necessarily object to a move........eventually. Yet as you noted many havent exactly signed up on the test brd and left feedback indicating of sorts - well im ok where I am, at least for now.
Maybe just as an idea we can discuss our future and where we want it to go at our meet in Jindabyne by all members present. Im all for active participation by all in our future.
Anyway, Im sure I wouldnt have covered all the angles but hilited a few. So thats my input for now.
