If I could choose, I might set up a backup forum and then try to pressure advameg into upgrading the vbulletin version. As it is, I definitely feel like moderators especially are taken advantage of. They help keep advameg's site clean, but receive basically nothing in return. An upgrade to the forum software is a fair demand imo.
I didn't suggest it was. What I said was, if a number of us are going to pay for a new forum, is it fair that those people should then be subsidising those who join but have not paid? So then the fairest way would seem to me, in my amateurish way and knowing little about it, for everyone to have to pay something towards the site upkeep, either through a membership or donation, or something. I would personally not be prepared to pay to set up a site just so those who didn't contribute could just walk in and say "thanks dude" and enjoy what I had helped pay for. I hope that's clear. If that were to be the model, then I would definitely not be prepared to put up any money. I'm not paying for other people, as it were.
