Good to see a few that have become member's of the forum, think it's at 154 at this moment. Hope it continues to grow moving forward.

Yeah, Tim decided to closed the forum part and focus purely on the money making side of things, which is fair enough seeing as it was his money being spent at the end of the day!Bowbroom wrote: Sun Oct 19, 2025 4:08 pm It’s up to us to spread the word recently had contact from PC is it just the auction site that’s still functioning?

Good to see active topic & quality information the last couple of week's, can I ask what would be the cost involved to keep the forum going, I've not got a clue how these things work or are funded to keep going, I think Andy might have said before he decided to leave the forum, that Devo had paid for the subscription?.

It all depends how much is outsourced Vs done in house.
I know that Pigeon Chat was costing around £1000+ a month at the time of shutting down.
I also know that meant paying massively over the odds, and I was looking at cutting the figure massively and making the site profitable with the need of the auctions to subsidise it.
But as I say, Tim chose to go in a different direction which is his right to do so!
As for this site, I am not privvy to Chris' setup, so couldn't possibly pass comment!

Yes, I know as I say, that price was greatly inflated. Wether that was to put me off trying to to take over the forum at the time, or wether he was genuinely paying that I couldn't possibly say!NeilA wrote: Sun Oct 19, 2025 8:07 pm Can’t see this a grand a month surely
Bloody expensive group to run for 5 mates to talk about the weather for a few years

Come on be fair they had 1 or 2 that walked home from one loft races on the other side of the world Their venture was comically named..'the need for speed' very apt I thought because that's exactly what they needed
