I hope and wish that " we members / subscribers" are worthy of the decision you have made.

I have been guilty in the past of mixing business and pleasure; at the end of the day its a decision both you and Sian must be comfortable with, a decision that deserves deep respect. either way .:notworthy:

To Jim & Sian

It is a good job we are not on a Funster meet with you both right now because if we where we know we would be in a very large queue to give you both the biggest hugs and kisses ever. We appreciate what you must have gone through in making the decision and we respect that.

Can't have been an easy decision. Very pleased you decided not to sell I enjoy this club/forum immensely. Would not have blamed you if the decision had gone the other way though but would be very sad to see FUN slip into the backbiting snide place of similar forums:cry::Blush::Angry: Thanks to you both::bigsmile:::bigsmile:::bigsmile:

On our 2nd MH now a AutoTrail Savannah which we're absolutely delighted with
Wow you two. That must have been really difficult for you ... security for the kids future and all that...... I know I should say well done and thank you, but you know that whatever decision you make we would all be behind you and understand. Bet you feel like breaking the dry January now don't you. Here's hoping it was the right decision for you after all your hard work to date.:thumb:

That's a mighty brave decision Jim. You've got to say that the interested party have recognised the brilliant job you've both made of this site.
You command my utmost respect for taking this honest and I'm sure prudent decision. Given what the site has been valued at I wonder what the members now think of the meagre £10 annual fee-Seemed like a real bargain before but now OMG!
Thank you again for this excellent leading forum and for the fantastic advice as a relatively new member I've already been given.

Still a pittance, however, they would be even better value..........................if more members subscribed. :whatthe:

Cheers,

What an agonising time you must have had before you reached your decision! :Eeek: I don't think anyone could say what they would do in the same circumstances!

So glad you decided not to sell but like others have said we would have understood if you'd decided to accept the offer.

Thank you so much for the last 7 years of fun and friendship it has meant so much to so many people. :Smile:

Looking forward to seeing you both in the summer ::bigsmile:::bigsmile:

BRING ON THE FUN!

Thinking about it a fast buck is ok but it is easy spent. Fun will be around for a very long time as the best privately owned/run forum with a steady income :thumb:

I think you may get a bit bitter at times when things get troublesome ,or you are working the systems when all have gone to sleep on here in the future.

Why do I bother.

Just turned down 100's of k for what.

You may get a better offer as there is no real competition know. Suppose it depends on your business head or your heart?

Ps

Big fan of this site my self.

A cynical person would think if the money was enough you would have sold

i would not consider that cynical... its business and Jim like the rest of us has a duty to do the very best he can for his family.
i for one would wish Jim every success in selling for the highest price he could get when ever

" he and Sian thinks the time is right"!

Thanks Jim and Sian for your brave and selfless decision.

I have today re-subscribed after a few years absence mainly because of your actions in keeping the site as it is.
I'll try to start posting again too.....if any one remembers me!

Regards to all

Thanks Sian and Jim for keeping fun.

However if you get another offer and you are very tempted, take it and run, no one would blame you.

Its taken seven years of hardwork and devotion, and help from funsters to make it successful, well done to everyone that has made FUN the place to be.

Whatever you decide in the future we wish you well.

Regards
Pat and Neil

I'm a newbie but did own one in 2003. Been into camping for many years.
I've only just joined, but wanted to also add my thanks and best wishes to you. I'm sure you've made the right decision and would've regretted it sooner or later having took the money and ran. Money isn't everything in life. Fair play to you Jim. :thumb:

All the best for the future success of the club! :Cool:
