    I think some guy successfully moved all his threads to a bulletin board years ago, but had to write custom software to effect the move.

    I get the feeling it's owned by California hippes or something like it! At least they don't seem to be at all grasping for money, which is refreshing, but neither is the forum maintenance anything to shout about and half the time there is no support at all.

    Looks like I've got another 18 months before they pull the plug...

    That's good breathing space and if nobody who has contributed minds, I'll keep hold of the money for now. If you need a refund, just let me know and I'll forward it immediately.

    Danny, the way I see it I made a contribution to the website. Keep it, I'm sure you will find a good use for it at some point.

    My thoughts exactly.

    Glad to hear you at least have a little breathing space Danny.

    Kind regards,

    I would be happy to make this an annual subscription should that ever be required.

    Donation just made, Danny. Even if a no-cost solution is finally found, I'm sure you'll find a way of using the money to continue to promote our sport and collectables in particular.

    I see from the General Airgun thread that some progress is being made. Keep up the great work.

    All the best,
    Happy Shooting!! Paul.
