[Less]

I'm about to spend 160 quid on forum software plus server plus all the add ons we have here.

An admirable gesture, but if because Roy has already bought this stuff and we are already using it, why not ask him what else he would prefere to use the money on?

I think this site is pretty damn good and has a winning set up

Right so if this site is Pretty damn good and only, 'pretty damned good', why try to copy it, (why not try to beat it?)?

although the best set up in the world doesn't change the fact that you need a foundation of good friendly members to put hard work in so that when new members come there's something for them to answer.

There is the need for the odd a*sehole as well, I'm sure Roy will be willing to rent me and others out to you.

which is what my problem is. I've got existing competition.

Yes, I agree it is Your problem.

The other site has got rid of my idea of forum games as they think it's stopping people from posting decent threads, I don't think so and intend to keep my games section.

Well done keep this up and you might prove independant enough to run a site like most other administrators.

What is flatering is that the other sites use a lot of my ideas.

I've looked at your site, it is very much a clone of this site, the most original thought is it's name and like accyweb it's copied from a place that already exists! Could you please show one of your ideas?

I suspect if they saw the the games and they copied it it would be ok but as I started it before I left.

What?

I'm waiting for tealeafs tinkerbells slinks etc replies esp the girls as they use most of this place.

Do they, (use this place the most)? Even if they do, what is your insentive to get them to just give away the secrets of their charms so that you can steal their karisma and put it somewhere else?

If you want advise, talk to Roy, he is always willing to discuss sensible questions. If you are after free advise go to CAB.

P.S. I have on a few occasions looked at your site, not alot wrong with it, but, although there are several links in your signature to your sites, (on here), I have not come across one on your site returning the compliment, don't you think that a little selfish?
