I would gladly contribute again if someone would take thier thumbs out and update the forum to something from this decade. XMB is rubbish Forum software. even PHPBB would be a massive improvement.

remember chris has other things he needs to do besides this site. I imagine the biggest challenge would be to migrate all of the information across to the new forum?

How long before the bandwagon arrives lol
Well I like the site. It does what it says on the tin.
What is the new site bringing to the party that will make our lives easier / better?
For me its about content and this site is great for content.
IMHO.........Neil
if it anint broke and all that. i run a phpbb forum for another club and its flakey and requires a fair bit of maintainance to keep it running well. there are also loads of mods you have to do to get rid of the peskey bots that keep signing up to post crappy adverts.

Moving slowly though
it is not a joke, it is for real, and definitely not a phishing attempt.
so far I have purchased 3 Sony digital SLR, 7 metallica boc sets and a Dell laptop so please keep contributing
Only two kittys have been drowned due to non payment so no pressure. 
I have no problems with the site - dated hmmmmm.... never thought of that - do pelpe say that coz they see it all the time or? but no better/worse
appearance than other sites.
At least this one if farly fast.
I like the site how it is. Its the people that post on it and the content thats important to me

As far as the way the site works it seems fine to me the information contained is invaluable when doing anything on the car.
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.

Noooo... leave well alone - it takes me months to catch up with new forum technologies!

I realise the site is run and modded voluntarily but its not terribly difficult to upgrade a forum and the latest XMB isn't too bad but there 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.

I think I know which one you meant but I also do not think you have thought it through.
for example, which would you choose to go out and be seen with in pizzer hut:
1. presentation (bimbo)
2. content (very clever professor)
