I will suscribe for 2 months, or donate £10 which ever one is better. i dont think the current suscribers want their threads being taken over though!

I think is an alternative to subscribing as all the money goes to the server....Then you know what your money is doing for the UKL society. (Not saying that subscribing means you dont know where your money goes)

What do you think all the adverts a for? This forum is run by a LTD company and is an advertising tool for the companies other businesses. The company who runs it is not a registered charity therefor cannot apcept donations. Also buying a server isn't an issue, neither is upgrading the server as this has been done at least twice since Decemeber and the problem still remains. I think a change of hosting comapny may be what is required.

I will happily support UKL buy extra subsriber services but donating money to a company that supplies course work is somthing totaly different.

We could raise the £60,000 d wanted for the forum, and do a user buy-out. We could then recoup the losses through smaller subscription fees encouraging more subscribers, as well as merchandise and maybe events. :smile:

Or... we could start a rival forum that's better than UKL (I know I'm not sure its possible either :rolleyes:

), and everyone could join that. The people who run the forum could then recoup the losses by organising teams to work on projects, with fundraising goals. If it was registered as a charity, then you would be exempt from tax, and you would also get 28% of the £5 subscription back from the government extra each month :biggrin:

Anyone want to join me? :biggrin:

how many members are there? if they all paid 2 pound each we could get to £60,000.
actually around half of them prob dont come on here anymore, another 1/4 would be stingy. i say 1000 people would make a donation, maybe? that means £60 each which is a bit too much

I was thinking that more over the longterm, we could have UKL meetings, parties etc where we can meet up and discuss things as well as having fun :tongue:

Also, we could have merchandise, and hold events which get other people to pay us... all in the aim of helping students of course :biggrin:

We would have a UKL leadership group. It would be more a society than a forum. If you paid and subscribed you would get invited to special'subscription only' events and also get newsletters and pens by post :tongue:
