A message from the Boss goes a long way Dave and is appreciated. We all know that you are a busy man trying to run the Forum and WassPoker and like many others I don't understand the business side of both. We have spoken privately about trying to liven up the forum but nothing has come of it that I can see, perhaps a little post from yourself occasionally with whats in the pipeline/planning, it's not knowing what's going on behind the scenes, I personally would like to hear about these things. I know there is a problem with the mail system but there is always the forum to post up this information to the members.
MSM we all know that some Admin/Mods are working their asses off, but from what I see there are those who are never here to share the burden of responsibility that comes with the promotion, again lack of information about whats going on behind the scenes and who's doing what could be the problem as I see it.
If as you say Dave the forum is running at a financial loss perhaps you should consider a subscription fee which will gain you access to all the passwords, say £5 a year. If we are getting 80 new members every day on top of the 30,000+ members on the books thats a good turnover which would more than pay for our live events and help the coffers.
Don't get me wrong, I love this place and will never leave but I want it to be like it use to be, call me old fashioned but I don't get the same feelings lately from the forum. Mind you I have not been too well lately and perhaps this is distorting my views.
Thank you Simon for starting this thread it has opened a new debate which this forum is all about, not one 'one liner' in the thread, no arguing just general discussion and personal views. Excellent.
