'The Roof lives on' - New message board update...

Filbo65 said:
Hello everyone!

I don’t think anyone on here will begrudge Mac his wish to gracefully retire from hosting this madhouse. We all owe him a big round of thanks for continuing his and Micky’s good work alone for the past few years.

But I’m relieved to be able to share the exciting news that a long-standing and very well-respected good ‘un from the Roof is busy planning and preparing a direct replacement message board for us. This means that Mac will see his wish come good, whilst we all continue to have a place to share our love with one another.

The plan is to keep the costs of the new site to an absolute minimum. The main cost is likely to be keeping the site ad-free, which will remove what many people may regard as a major irritation to their regular use. (It may prove a bit harder to remove the irritating posters, mind…)

It’ll be very helpful if you can please reply to this post, just to say;

if you’d be willing to go through the necessary process of registering with a new site,
whether you currently donate £1 per month, and
whether being ad-free is important to you?

Thanks very much.

(PM replies are fine too, if you don’t want to go public.)

Happy to join and pay for ad free
 
Thanks all, for the continuing replies and encouragement. Please rest assured that all your comments, requests and suggestions will of course be totally ignored... ;)

But we thought it worth clarifying that the overall timescale for the changeover is likely to be a few weeks. There's quite a lot to do and, like Liam Gallagher thoughtfully explains in the new Oasis film, 'it takes an awful lot of caring to not give a fuck' (y)

Don’t leave it too long or the club will have gone out of business
 
Not sure if it's worthwhile for the person taking over. But what about one of those pay as you go credit cards? You can link it to PayPal so when it's time to pay the server host they have a dedicated account and card to use. Saves using their personal account.

Paypal or a donate site like buy me a coffee are the easiest, I don't really want to use my direct bank accounts with any online site.
