Thanks for the donations everyone, really appreciate it. I will be sending another round of pin badges this week, so if you're waiting for one I haven't forgot! Thanks once again
I have a friend who has a website designing company, I'm sure if I asked him nicely he may do it for cheaper than what you've been quoted. Let me know and I'll ask the question
Thank you so much everyone for the help with this project. Sorry I've gone a bit quiet the last few weeks! I have about 6 more pin badges enveloped and ready to post out tomorrow. I'll make sure they're sent 1st class. If any arrive missing, broken, damaged etc... please contact me; I have a few in reserve to cover such eventuality! Back onto the site update, work has already commenced on the coding of the new site. It will be absolutely epic. Due to my vision of the site's structure the initial quote has grown a tad so every penny really has counted and I've topped up the missing. I really want to make this site the best forum and resource for triumph 675's so I've ensured all basis have been covered and it'll be exciting to unveil the site. On a estimate the work will be complete somewhere between 4-6 weeks from now. I will obviously keep everyone updated as to the progress being made, and hopefully the future changes will really make a positive difference to the forum. Thanks once again, also if you would still like to donate I still have some pin badges available. Any funds passed on will be put into the redeveloping of the site as I have blown the budget with all of the ideas in my head!
Will try to get a few pics of the development, probably wont be for a couple of weeks though. Outstanding pin badges were sent out today. They should arrive tomorrow morning!
Thanks for the new donations, I'll be posting the pin badges out this week. I have three waiting for the post office Quite a bit I've covered the missing however it is right at the top-end of my budget. So either way the new site will happen and the developer is about a week and a bit into the project. It will hopefully be up and running some point in March. I'm also moving the site onto a faster server (about 8 times faster than the one it already sits on) which should also make things quicker on the site. Hopefully the changes will be noticed and it'll keep the site healthy for years to come Because it's top-end of the budget I'm always looking for new donations, I also have a couple of other things I want to do for the site which I'm holding out on due to budget. So if anyone has or are planning to donate, be assured all funds will be put straight back into the site, unfortunately I just see the money come into my account then leave Either way, I hope everyone will enjoy the new update and it'll be what everyone expects
how about some sort of raffle at the fest mate, Saturday evening or some such? we can definitely have a whip round whatever happens id imagine
Have you thought about selling the project? I am on anther forum that is old and clunky. The guy that runs it wants to upgrade but doesn't have all of the know how. I'm sure the other site could do a similar exercise and drum up donations Feel free to pm me for a number or email if this is something you might consider
That's a good idea Red, we could have a quiz or a bit of game of bingo with proceeds going to the site
Would like to say that my pin badge is now on a tour across South America with my other half, four months and all that. Will get her to take some pictures of it on the way around.
