Fair play Joe.

I think it's sound too to be honest.

Cheeeeeeeers.

As it is a forum for tilers and not the general public will we be allowed to swear in there? If yes, I'll join, if no, I see no purpose. (And for the record, since I started posting this past couple of weeks, not swearing has been a REMOVED REMOVED REMOVED REMOVED REMOVED REMOVED nightmare! :smilewinkgrin

I am a bit lost as to why you think you need to have another forum or i could have missed the point completely.
we all need to make a living and you do it by having sponsors which seems fine to me.
As you rightly point out it costs money to run any forum.
Are you really bothered if a few people leave to another forum you dont own.
seems you are doing well here.
i think if I were you ,I would be most worried about the sponsors I have on this forum who might be disgruntled at the thought of you weaning members on this forum that they sponsor way to another one.

Dan, no offence intended but if it's all the same I'll just stay on this forum. I've been a member since 2009 and always found this forum to be a great source of varied views and methods on the same jobs. Different approaches and different solutions are, in my opinion, what keep us fresh and moving forward in our chosen trades.

I appreciate we have sponsors and they contribute in different ways, but I've never personally noticed any bias towards their products or services. I use the best equipment or materials for the job in hand. A sponsor can try to influence me, but I still have my brain and can/do choose for myself.

I hope this forum stays strong and continues to provide honest advice for all comers.

[kilty55]

there are more forums than i thought ,i joined another one about 2 years ago but havent used it much

the setup on here is by far the best i have found,dont see the need for a forum without sponsors but hey everyones different in what they want

 

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

is forum coming to an end then ?? i have only just got started,..............

 

[kilty55]

dont think so tom? just another one formed i think?

 

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

why Killty is this one gone wrong then ? i don't get why we need more,it will dilute everyone,there are already other forums that are quiet .............this is the busiest ........

 

[kilty55]

if this is busiest stay here then there is no probs tom?

 

[jonnyc]

this seems to be one of lifes great mysteries or is it?
i understand that you cant run a forum without money unless a lot of people put a lot of free time in to running.
hence the sponsor or you sell a product from the forum you own to cover your costs.
i think im getting old maybe and missing something basic.
the average business man would say whats going on!
a lottery win or amazing business sell out maybe and the opportunity to run the purest forum with no sniff of bias just for fun!!
I myself dont find this forum biased at all.
but to be honest we are are all business men ourselves although would rather be tilers, and i have genuinely never even considered that the sponsors or moderators to be defining our decisons about product we buy.
they are there , I have a look and use a couple regularily but used them before i ever found this forum.
this is a great forum and i think many of us are slightly confused by dans reasoning for this new forum.

 

[hutchinsons]

i waiting approval, but nearly gave up..lol dont you hate these verifications!!! ahhh

good luck

 

[Dan]

Had to manually approve your account for you. It's an anti-spam thing, apparently.

TilersForums aint going anywhere. Don't worry about that.

 

[Muse2k8]

[Dan]

Hi David long time no see ! Hows things on your side of the fence and when you getting some new toys in for me to buy....you know i cant resist !

 

[jonnyc]

dan so who pays for this new forum if no adverts ,sponsors and you wont supply product.
this is what is confusing me.
youre not obliged to tell me of course but am intrigued.
Ive read your blurb but no clearer.

 

[Dan]

I'm paying for it out of my own pocket.
I've got a bunch of websites not owned by Untold Developments Ltd, the company. I pay for them out of my wages effectively so they're not offsettable against tax etc.
