Joshua Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Hi Its with regret i must inform you all that as of the end of this month there will be a mandatory charge of £30 per year for each person who uses these forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hummm_mabbe Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Ah this must be because of the new UK/US Internet and Terrorism Regulations, where all forum owners, due to their position of influence and access to public opinion, must pay £25,000 / $40,000 a year for the licence to run such a site. Its all a bit Big Brother if you ask me, but if you have to pay it, you have to pay it. Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hummm_mabbe Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 (edited) Indeed I prolly wont be able to afford it, and so it is with regret that at the end of april I will just have to go to my Bass Fishing website for moral support. I have a friend there called Bert who is highly skilled with fly bait. He knows nothing about empathy but he does save me a lot in food bills. EDIT: Bass fishing sites are exempt as Obama is a keen fisherman Ross Edited April 1, 2010 by hummm_mabbe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roxy222 Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 if this isnt a joke that basicly puts a stop to many new members cause i cant imagine many people wd choose to pay for a forum that they havent even seen id leave as well actually, i cd afford it and certainly wd be happy to pay to another charity. but i dont ever put bank dcetails on internet (or over fone etc ev=ither) too paranoid that the abusers might find me that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just.me Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 You don't have to pay via credit/debit card you will be able to send a cheque/postal order, of course you would have to wait until it clears before using the site. You will be able to view, like you do on dating sites, but not post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will be able to view, like you do on dating sites, but not post. Can I just post you the milk bottle once its full of the right amount of change? You can take it to one of them change machines in sainsburys and it will poke out a nice fresh £30 note, those ones that the Royal Mint has started producing today They have a pic of Ricky Gervais on one side, and the Queen on the other.
