NVQ stands for Not Very Qualified, so can't see you making much money! 
I agree with Tony about forums, I won't be donating as I donated a lot of my time before and all I got was a kick in the teeth the last time there was a hooha! (the earwig saga).
I think the problem is that Paddy runs it like a business with free labour and when things go wrong he does not ask for the help of the guys that are there day in day out but does some silly things, like asking for donations with out even telling the admins he wants to do it.
Best of luck to the guy but he needs to work on his people skills.
I think that about sums up how I feel too.... Most/all the mods there spend their time sorting issues with little/no thanks--Apart from some grateful members (Cheers fellas)--then are asked to donate for their trouble too....
Ho-Hum.....
I havent given VOD that much time over the last few months--what with depression and everything else....
Things are done there sometimes with no discussion,-- like this donations thing, makes you feel--Why bother? Must admit--I'll not be 'donating' this time, although I didnt get the 'begging letter' email--Probably thought better of it--He knows what my reply would have been!....
It was handled All Wrong in my honest opinion.
--I cant understand the squabbling thats been apparent in the last few months leading to some long-term guys leaving.--Whats going on....?
--It aint just the B/W issue--Summit is happening there I dont understand.
Its part of his commercial website. If there's a b/w issue, then rectify the problem--extend b/w or move to cheaper servers and trim the dross accounts--sure as a mod. I could do that--If I knew how, but wasn't discussed so there you go.....
I did ask how much it cost, but he didn't answer.....
Its a shame, but unless something is done quick to sort this nonsense, then it'll die on its ass.....
