It's nice to know you think I put a price on the forums, when I didn't even ask Andy to pay towards the hosting.
Sorry, I just plain don't understand your animosity towards Tekheads for wanting to retain their support avenue on a decent forum full of helpful, friendly users, ex-staff and people generally knowledgable, interested in hardware and willing to help. You won't tell your mates you come on here because there's a pseudo-affiliation going on? I mean really, if it offends you so much collapse the subforms or I'll turn on the ignore options, just for you. I probably could even give you a special member permissions level that means you will never see a single post in those forums or even know they exist.
I/we moved the site to keep better control and upgrade the software, there was no active decision to exclude Tekheads and they were more than welcome come to an arrangement with me, I left the old forums in place for them to continue with as they pleased. I wish I had got a free graphics card now, I've been such a fool
There's a lot of chat I'm having with Mods, members, various people on how to push the Forums and (dare I use the terminology) 'Tekforums brand' forward, possibly with a site frontend for reviews, etc. It's not just a case of moving to line pockets, I/we want to actively improve the forums and make it bigger and better to get back towards the best times.
