First off I need to thank you all for helping to build such a great community, its a fantastic place to hang out and I receive many comments each week about how good it is to find such a haven for people on the net. People are astounded by the standards of posts and the sense of unity that we have here
its something that many people want to become a part of and we all know why.
You will all have noticed the changes that have been happening, first with the purchase of a vBulletin forum, which is now hosted on a new server, then the photo gallery software which all can now use (I think that weve ironed out the bugs!) This is the start of some great improvements, we are working on more forum capabilities and the main site which will soon be much more interactive and will be updated regularly with new articles, reviews, news and much more.
As you can appreciate this is not a cheap endeavour and its also very time consuming, this is why I have introduced a subscription system for BCUK, the site needs to move forward and that takes money, hundreds of pounds have been spent on the site just in the last few weeks and there is still more to do. Over the past few months many members have suggested that BCUK has a subscription charge and this has encouraged me to do it.
It still astounds me how much you all value the site and how much you would miss it if it was not there, it really is something that weve all contributed to and made it a great place. A special thank you has to go to Adi007 and Kath who are spending hours working on the site, also Carlo who has done some great work.
The new subscription system gives 3 choices of membership. The first is just as things are now but with a few limitations. If you stay as a member then you will still have access to nearly everything that you do now.
For a small yearly subscription fee of £5 you will have
