was this threat a call, a letter, an email?? unless it came from a solicitors then it should just be the start of open dialogue (not open on the board lol)
anyway, while some are making good points, much of this thread is now knee-jerk scare-mongering and i am starting to see it as some slight hasseling for donations (not just this site either)
the only reason i havent donated anywhere is because i have previously been a paid up member on a number of forums and received nothing worth my money unfortunately
even discussing making a forum pay-only is a turn-off. i am grateful for a number of nuggets i have learned on these forums, dont get me wrong, but google is my friend and you may alienate a lot of people here...
leave it to admin
