    Sincere "Well Done" from me and, I suspect Glenn Ackroyd also. When I read the equivalent at other Clubs BT stands above them.
    Personally I would like more interaction on here from the VP staff to add to other lines of communication but it has not been forthcoming which in my view is sad. However, you may have seen the comments of JR recently where he spoke of changes behind the scenes in the summer so you never know...
    Wish you continued progress.

    It is a very enjoyable place indeed. Cheers and thanks to all who make it work!

    As for the next year, why change a winning formula? Positivity and negativity from the usual suspects; sense and nonsense from all of us; I'll throw in a few stats and gaudy charts...we go again!

    WOW ............. Already ?
    What took me by surprise initially was the transition from C&B - Almost seamless. As for the Forum itself ........... Pretty much self regulated and restraint is apparent. But hats doffed, @king karl@king karl - a fantastic effort from your team, and you in particular for all your time and dedication. :)

    A wise choice! (Though the gearbox can be a bit quirky...)

    But be warned that you, too, will then be subject to the old joke: "What's the difference between a hedgehog and a BMW?"

    Anyone who calls their BMW a ‘beamer’ instead of calling it a car, is probably on some kind of register..Or worse, a Tory.

    If a donation to the burns unit was to be done it would probably be better done as a separate donation drive. The thing with running a website is you always want to keep a surplus on hand as there will always be unexpected issues or necessary upgrades.

    For example, at some point, we will need to move to Xenforo 2.1 as this version will stop getting official security fixes and 2.1 will have reached a stability/efficiency level where its on par with what we are running.

    Or we currently have 1200 registered members and at its busiest, we currently hit around 70% resource usage. The attendances have been between 11k and 19k this season for league matches so with 1200 there is a significant untapped market just from match going fans so lets say we have a sudden influx of new members which can just randomly happen with forums then we may need further server upgrades

    Or there is always a chance that some unknown exploit is discovered by hackers and they end up causing havoc not just here but across hundreds or thousands of xenforo sites. Depending whats done this can be time-consuming to identify and fix the exploit while getting everything restored to how it should be

    Ofc there is a point where a surplus gets enough that you can cover most possible unexpected expenses and use a bit for something else but you certainly need a surplus

    Plus we've 1200 members but around 3% are paid subscribers so a fair way off having a surplus just yet
