What would you do if the forum had a subscription fee (to post classifieds, etc)?

Velocio donates money to good causes but if he makes money why is that a bad thing? Know what a really good site/server admin costs per year? I do. Know how much time and effort it takes to run a site this size? I have a good idea. I also know what he does for a living and have a very good idea at what an hour of his time would cost a customer.

If he can take home an extra couple of quid for his time and efforts then why not?

Software would track that

Hell no...that's my opinion.

I have not said anywhere it's a bad thing for VB to make a bit of money......

will software fill in the tax returns and all the associated admin stuff that will grow and grow?
