My preference is strongly in favour of funding by members as it promotes totally free speech. Tony hasn't asked for funding yet, but I'd be more than happy to donate £2 to keep this online.

This isn't 'my' forum, as such. It runs, for now at least, on my server, and I enjoy putting some time into looking after it. The other admin put far more time in than me on the day to day running and organisation.

And we're all agreed that the efficiency of running this place means that donations are not required, or even desired.

As Paul says, 'by enthusiasts for enthusiasts'. As such asking for donations would be a guilty last resort, and members would be completely aware where such funding would get spent, as well as deciding how it got spent in the first place. But let's not get ahead of ourselves, we're a very long way off that situation.

Most countries are now able to access VOD - new files uploaded.
China, Bangladesh etc still blocked

If you use a non UK server please try again and say what happens please.

I've just been looking at vod,



What does MAY have restricted access mean, what is the criteria?

How long is the subscription for?

What will all that money be spent on?


Maybe asking Paddy these questions over on VOD would get the answers your looking for Chug, at the end of the day if all those who object to helping out click the "I want to leave the forum in his sig"  he may realise how much he has upset people. Let's face it all the time the forum has members it will trundle along.

I've given up trying to get a straight answer from Paddy and I wouldn't trust his answer anyway!
