I never wanted the club but sometimes you have to give in to opinions of the members... who did want one.

I handed over the hosting last week to someone else.. and the admin rights. I'm proud that the forum is a success and that i started it.. but its time to move on. I'm not really interested anymore anyway ... I've got a new hobby and a new forum to work on

Oh and a PS.. one thing that people dont warn you about is the legal aspect. You as the site owner are responsible for anything that gets written in your forum. If you get too slack you can suddenly find yourself in a legal situation... epecially if you have traders operating within. It happened to me .. twice. Luckily it was eventually resolved with no action being taken, but the threat is there, and a simple disclaimer wont stop it.

Other than that.. go for it.. its fun.
