The Rev's onto something though, there could be a tier/perks system. £25 for an exclusive alias reveal, for £50 you get to shadow caca for a day (just in general, follow him about at work and that), £150 to get access to user's email addresses.

As you might (or probably not) have noticed, I've hardly been around over the last couple of months due to family illnesses and other work issues that have taken up almost every waking moment since November. Like every family, you go through tough periods and the FTC clan finds itself in one now.

In the midst of all this, I renewed the domain registration and hosting for another year however the costs have risen massively since this latest iteration of the MB was set up in 2019. Just before Xmas I said to LSN that given everything that is going on away from here which is likely to take months to resolve, I couldn't commit any time at all to dealing with the place and paying out another years cost when this latest subscription expires later this year.

Whilst LSN's appointment as an Admin wasn't the most popular decision ever made with some here, I can only be grateful that I did hand the reins over to him I'd again repeat my honest and complete thanks to him for making massive efforts over that last couple of years to ensure this MB continues to survive. I've been here for over 20 years now and still consider this place to be a unique online community and there's nothing more I'd like to see it still here in another 20 years time.

It is heartening to see so many donations received already and I'd like to thank everyone who's done so and supported the MB's continued existence.

Peace and love.
