One thing that strikes me though is that why do we just pay the fee at the start. I'm sure all of is gets at least £5 worth of value out of it
each year and the site needs maintaining so why don't we pay a fee each year, just a thought.

Its not a bad idea to have a premium subscription but it really doesnt cost much to host a forum.

are converters available if it is desired to migrate to new software. God forbid someone suggest trying to keep up with technology.
To all those who say content and community are more important than function, that is true but content, community and function is better still. The
content and community is already here so updating the site is what provides the function. Things like Inline link creation with auto highlighting make
posting useful content so much easier.
Keith, to a certain extent you are correct of course but utility and warranty both carry perceptions of success or failure and it is also important to
acknowledge the user communities skill base and requirements when specifying new functionality. Add this to the potential increase in support cost and
you soon can't achieve benefit realisation.
