i wouldn't be pleased
your one of the few here who actually care about this place ,,apart from the
topic of PC Engines being discussed

many  post and lurk here and dont give one seconds thought as to the running of
the place
if they logged on tomorrow and the CCC was no longer here..they would stare at
the computer a few seconds and go to RGCC or some other place like the Winboard
forum and not even miss a beat

look at the poor response Steve S got when he asked for donations the first and
only time ever back in August 2004
less then 10% of active email accounts gave anything

i agree the place needs some changes..better control to  stave off the ever
present onslaught of the trollers and their elk..it also needs the archive
system back up and running(broken now since May 04)
the problem is..this place continues to lose money for ICD and so their is no
real impetus for Steve to pour even more time and money into upgrading it

this is one of the reasons i suggested that program authors be asked to at least
make a donation if they are going to sell their programs here

it wasnt to hurt the authors..it was to someway find a way to add some money
into the CCC koffers for much needed upgrading

you think i like to get absurd emails from trollers here using language that i
dont even hear on the streets of NYC on a bad day??

i think it comes down to money Graham

if we want these much needed changes..we need to anti-up some money

perhaps another request for donations with the money "ring fenced" for the
changes??

Realistic Regards
Steve
