Hi there, This message is really aimed at the admin/admins of the site, my name is Chris Taylor, and i am involved in SEO, Web Management and Promotion. I run a company called 'British Investment Group' that operates in the london area. I also put my business expertise into place on the internet in return for promoting my brand awareness, in which i am soon releasing a new company, VBoptimisation, in partnership with VBseo.com to help promote v bullitin operated forums, i see you are not operating using V bullitin, however i suggest that you do, i dont work for the company, however i am willing to offer my services free in return for footer advertisement, i can create skins, interfaces, databases, v bullitin features Security coding Massive traffic updates
I also have plans to encourage posters to post, with a new idea that will unlock new levels for posters, i will also offer an ironkey back up service, and can raise this forums awareness and profitability.
I can also offer video archiving, and a live news bar feature
thanks for your time,

why is there a thumbs down next to the title? What exactly was the opportunity you saw, besides to advertise yourself?

To be honest, we've been running the Proboards software for 3 1/2 years now and have been happy enough with the service not to have any desire to switch to anything else. Firstly, it wouldn't be possible to switch to VB and retain our member/posts database and secondly, we don't run on a for profit basis. The forum was started by a number of people wanting somewhere to use 24/7 and not as a business, thanks for the offer but as I say, we have no real desire to make money out of doing this to be honest.

You mean the individual boards? they are always evolving, but what did you have in mind?

I like the ranking names, I'll certainly have a look at that - got a bit stuck for ideas when I was doing them, though I will keep the current stars system with you going through the blue, silver, and gold levels, the actual rank names could certainly be a little more interesting With regards to the software, to be honest we've got so much here it's just not really an option any more - maybe a few months in but 3 1/2 years is too much to throw away. Proboards have their new V5 software out in the next few months hopefully and from what I've seen it looks fantastic.

Stick with Proboards I say. The others are too techy and pointless really (for a football forum)

Problem with that is I've been the top poster for ages by virtue of the fact I was first here and post a lot of b*******, so it never changes - unless I've misunderstood what you're saying.

You know Proboards is written in Perl? and it's all remotely hosted so you can't access and manipulate any of the server side coding like you can do with VB (I think) as it's PHP (I think) I can only use (X)HTML CSS and Javascript.
