[QUOTE="St Helens RLFC, post: 297749"] Having done some research, we can transfer all our information over to the VBulletin board by creating a backup of our database now. Some things will need to change, such as smaller avatars and no images in signatures, we may also lose the rep system again (I know, sorry) but it will be replaced by a very reliable new system. I am very excited about the prospect of changing software. I really am. I will need to go on a fund raising drive though, in order for all this to go through I anticipate that I will need to raise in the region of £200. I think that secures a life time license, I'll have to check that one out. If 200 members donated £1.33 each we'd cover that almost instantly. I don't like to go out with my begging bowl, and I am not doing just yet, I will do an official fundraising drive when we know we can go for it, but I currently have £66 in the pot. That covers us for hosting until at least May and I'm loathe to touch that. When the new site opens, I will find it easier to raise funds through a variety of initiatives. I'm not going to promise the TRF shop as I don't know if I'll have the time to run it. I'll soon see. But I will have more means to advertise without interfering with the look of the site, that's just for a start. EDIT - [url="http://www.vbulletin.com/index.php?do=features"]http://www.vbulletin.com/index.php?do=features[/url] There's a list of features. It will mean something to some of you and nothing to most of you but when asking for donations I like to provide as much information yet. [/QUOTE]
