Denny, can you let us know if it's possible to upgrade and avoid the annoying and frustrating "Resource Limit Reached" scenario - and if it is, the approximate cost?
Did the attempt made last year fizzle out simply because it was too costly? If we had an idea of cost and had a target to aim for, then we might be able to find a remedy - and it would seem that you are the man!
I for one would be very happy to make a contribution and I'm sure there are many others too. Cheers.

Good idea but can I add that I like the current format of the board- much, much better than most other forums.
These go to eleven.

Agreed SS, the format's fine it's just the capacity that's occasionally inadequate.

Hi.
Full reply tomorrow (had 21 hours of a 4 year old and a sickness bug).
Erm yeah. It’s basically a double cost issue.
1 we would need to upgrade our host.
Which would mean
2 we would need to upgrade the board and then pay a yearly subscription to that too.

Sincere commiserations, hope all is soon well - and thanks for replying so quickly.
I'm a total technophobe but can understand the need to upgrade the host, but in what way would we need to upgrade the board?
Does it cost us anything at the moment?
Sorry, I'll shut up and wait for your full reply!
Cheers.

How much would that be? Maybe a crowd funding option could cover the costs How many users are you limited to at any given time?

Is Freeforums.net an option? I find their boards decent to use. The free version has adds but they are not particularly intrusive.

For the amount of times the resource limit is reached is it worth making users pay to post on the forum ?

This 'Resource limit reached' is quite rare, and not that annoying- you just need to wait a bit.
I say, keep things as they are- not broke, don't fix it.
I certainly don't want to pay a subscription- I think that would kill the board- though a Crowdfunder is a decent option if needed.

A subscription would definitely be the death of the board, gathering an idea of how much it'd cost is the most sensible option for me, then if it's too much we can just say 'yeah we're not forking that out' and agree to just deal with it and leave things how they are.

Especially if it is a subscription per ID, some more vocal posters would have to pay at least 3 or 4 times!!

We have here the preferred platform for Town opinion, free, and policed by folk displaying remarkable integrity.

Indeed where would the Club be today but for the contribution of 'BB' members.

The 'RLR' thing can be a right royal pain in the ass, yet perhaps it's also a reflection of just how popular this forum really is...

Could we look at some amazon links. Liads of people shop there and if they came from this site that could create revenue. Maybe a few ads?

What about setting up an amazon affliate account?

Doesn't cost anyone anymore to buy the items they want and the money earned could go towards hosting costs / upgrading plans etc?

Appreciate where you are coming from to generate the needed funds to help pay for any improvements, but for me adverts would be so annoying.

Perversely I actually get excited when i see the maximum resource limit reached error as it tells me somthing interesting has happened at the club
