After some of the posts the past few days im sure the webteam, admin and moderators have felt a little down hearted.

This isnt a post about the gold membership fee, its simply about passionford and its existence.

I for one would be gutted if passionford was no longer here

How would the members feel, lets have some feedback.

My post count says it my views on it

The webteam shoild be proud of what they have created here,the community spirit,okay sometimes it slips and you get knocked,happens with very club/community or religion or whatever.

But the majority appreciate the work you lot do,if we none did not get any thing out of here we wouldnt use this site as their is plenty of other sites.

But most of us choose to use this site as our main car site,that says it all really

As much as a community this is its only really a proper home for a certain amount of people and this is surely not enuff to pay for the board.

BUT chin up guys Petrucci posted himself that its up to HIM and he said its staying...so whatever Stu has said re his future i dont think it will affect this board??????...So be positive

thanks for all your kind words mates...

i have to admit I, Stu and all mods have been pretty downhearted those last days, a bit because of some of those posts we have read... but this does not change our determination, and PF is here to stay. Anyway, many thanks to all, and thanks Andy for starting this thread, it's good sometimes to read congrats topics

what's it gonna take to keep pf on here?
nothing more than contributions and traders mate, like it's been done so far

thanks to you all

whatever Stu says or does, it does affect this board, mate. He is admin as I am
But it's true, i said that its staying, and it WILL stay.

Also, a big apology for the ones having received a reminder for their gold membership when they had already paid before, but as i sent an automated message based on membership dates, some that have renewed before the date (and I thank you so much for this) have received this PM which was not needed... please forgive me for this, just ignore it if you already did it, i can't have missed it

Cheers petrucci

You know those posters in pubs that have bags of nuts on them? And every packet taken away reveals a bit more of a toples lady with an 80's haircut?

I've got some pictures of me in my birthday suit and I reckon you could have a sticky post where every new gold member reveals a bit more of the picture?

Quite an incentive I'd say.

I'd be gutted if pf stopped as I've made a few friends of here,got some good advice/tech help and had some right laughs.But Stu is trying to run a succesfull business full time come on here moderating and have time for his family which I don't think I'd be able to manage so fair play to him,pet and everyone else who make this site what it is.

I just renewed do thanks for the reminder Pet Even if it was early.

How long for new Gold status to become active? Paid for Jamz through paypal and its not active yet.

Still, its a top site with top mods (I think Less should be a muppet room mod too to give king muppet the power to corrupt ) and I will continue to keep renewing as long as the site is here.

All bow down to the King Frog
