Might be on the cards, though hopefully by then finances would of been restored by then - I'm not too worried about monthly costs with the site, it's more about the initial starting from scratch costs I'm certainly planning some freebies and possibly some form of raffle, whether it's to raise dosh for this site or charity. Hopefully things will be clearer towards the date. The fest will be a epic weekend, the numbers have already exceeded expectations Not sure I'm following exactly, but because everything will be custom to this site I'm not sure if another site would benefit in the same way. Things will be clearer when the redevelopment is complete but I think even going 50:50 with another forum would cause major issues as there would be features I would want and they wouldn't and visa versa. My main aim is to make 675.cc unique However the idea of going halfs etc with another site is fundamentally a good idea Pictures, Pictures, Pictures... If anyone has pictures of the pin badge out and about please send them my way, I need to get the facebook feed more active with subliminal advertising
You need to get on the twitter feed too - I don't see anything posted on there! BikeTuna can donate a few bits to the raffle, let me know when its all happening...
I would personally like to thank everyone who donated towards this project. Funding hit around the 50% mark, which is great news as that was the target needed to achieve the re-development of the site without the need of advertising. We're about half-way into the development, and the new site is looking superb and I can't wait to switch over. I'm not sure on the timescale left, but I would imagine somewhere between 2-4 weeks from now we could be preparing the change over. I'll keep all informed with the changes, and hopefully the new version will be a welcomed change. For now I wont be accepting any more donations towards this project, I have a couple more badges to send out which will be done. If you didn't receive your badge please let me know as I'm bound to of made an error somewhere! Thank you once again for all the support towards the site, this will secure the sites future for more years to come and make the site even more interesting to browse. I'm locking this thread, and will be de-stickying it in due time. Expect more information closer to the time as and when the new site leaves it's beta phase
