I personally think its a shame that the site is going down this route...
I joined this site for its Ford community... the fact that it was owned/run by Ford enthusiasts was certainly a good reason..
The fact it will now be owned by some yanks who have no interest in the Ford marque is a shame really.. just want the £££££'s.. Plus side, no more critical errors

Im gonna miss them
So as to gold membership.. Now that the contribution wont be required, as afterall, it was was a donation to help costs for hosting the site etc.. do members get there money refunded? The whole Gold member thing being omitted I take it?
I also personally think that you STU, must be entitled to some of the monies that Pet will be recieving as without you, this site would have just 3 members, like how it was whilst the RSOC BB was running...!!!
p.s.. just had shit loads of Critical Errors
