Surely they should have just sent the cheque to Roy for him to spend on here?

I think it was about 6 months after 'Hyndburn lite', Roy, (name dropping alert), told a few of us that the then administrator of that thing approached him saying, "why don't we work together on the sites to get them up and running properly?",
The printable answer to that was, "why on earth would I, with a popular and well run web site want to assist you with your over-financed piece of trash to do anything?". (as I say not quite an accurate quote).
It has often been speculated on our site that the 'Hynburn lite' site was set up in the hopes of taking the place of accyweb because the councillors didn't have control of what was being said about the area.
But it would have been nice if HBC had actually approached Roy at the time they where wasting that cash, just think, Roy would be living in accyweb mansions the software and servers would be getting a face lift every second day and instead of being given the title 'God Member' on reaching 2000 posts we would all be issued with Gold plated keyboards and there would still be money left over to waste on monthly planning nights, (we could call them 'meets') and spread the cash around a few local pubs thus assisting in a much needed boost to some landlords economy.
