Default PF is flooooooooooked again PT2!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok so people pay the 20 quids a year to have a few priveleges and the bandwidth, fairplay, and maybe it is broken sometimes, tell me a site that doesn't break and has a 100% uptime record, but people seem to think that PF claim that they make no money out of subscriber and traders because of the cost of hosting, maybe it does cost a lot, but if you think about it theres just under 12000 members on here, so if say only a quarter of them pay their £20 in support of good ol PF, thats £60k a year just off users, without the traders fees!, do you really think that it costs that much? have you ever seen proof from PF of what it really costs to host this site?

Come on who's having the laugh?

Oh yes they make no money, YEAH RIGHT!

btw, what makes you say that you are the "number 1 ford community on the net", on your website ? do you have figures that explain that you can claim this ? because it does not seem really busy a website...

Why are people having a dig at this site.. Things go wrong.. live with it!

Not sure the bandwidth from here or the average amount of users on here at 1 time, but I know there is alot going on here..

I dont think anyone on here begrudges PassionFord their 5.4p per day to be honest. And anyone that gets upset that shes slow or offline, for say, 2 days, collar me at the next meet and i will give you 11p refund.. no sweat

In reality, im more likely to buy you a beer and thus, due to teh cost of beer nowadays i will be in credit with you for about 20 days bad performance if i ever need hit hard times...
