    No. Again, I could have a new forum up and running, free hosting, within 24 hours. All I need is the word. Some support from other members that my work won't be vain.

    This should be good enough before the 'wall of text' effort kicks in.
    You're missing the point. Turn the character limit OFF.

    Why is how many characters someone uses in their opening post an issue LA? If they have "walls of text" we will ask them to shorten it down (which we do on the odd time that walls of text appear). How is limiting their Opening post helping you as the owner of this site or the forum in general? Perhaps if we understand why you're doing what you're doing it won't seem so counter-productive to us all.

    Well if that is actually the case, if all the news articles are removed from the right hand side of the home page, then he could sell advertising space there where it won't be intrusive but will be visible to anyone who is actually interested in what is being slogged.

    Charging someone for non-professional advice is hard to swallow and i'm thinking anyone who actually pays needs more help then what any of us could possibly offer.

    Yeah, see, there are so many things that could be done, but loveadmin isn't a programmer and has no idea how to actually accomplish any of that. That's why I suggest we move.

    Well he's "programming" all the filler shit on the right hand side of this board so why can't he unprogramme it and sell the space?

    1) It's built into vBulletin. 2) Selling the space requires a buyer. 3) He's incredibly lazy.

    969… lol, none else found that funny?

    Sounds to me that someone is proposing a 3-some for you, Searock.

    I would go to a new forum if you all go. I don't like limits on what are supposed to be free forums.

    If LA is pissed about walls of texts, then how about posting something in the rules about making PARAGRAPHS when people are posting a long post?

    Oh goodie... now LA has set it to 'request' that ad-blocker be disabled.

    I'm seriously thinking that I"m outta here.

    Why not open a poll? If LA has been reading these threads, he knows most of the regulars are unhappy with what he is doing.

    If he bans us, we are leaving anyway at some point right?
