Our fourth glorious year!
This is a seriously scary decision and all joking aside must have taken a great deal of courage.Everything has been said by others but I wouldn't want this to go by without adding my own thanks and acknowledgment.

Great Respect:thumb:

I enjoy the site as much as many Jim but I'm sure this wont be the only offer and eventually when you have other interests set up for your future then the decision could be easier to make.
Out of interest if you can say, was the offer made by the organisation who now run another site.

Well done Jim for not giving in to temptation. I am only new on hear but if you sold out to a big company I think they family would fall to bits.]

offer

hi there jim and sian,have only just seen this thread:RollEyes: would like to say a big thank you for taking that decision im sure it was very difficult.but as others have said MHF and RVOC would not be the same without you and Sian at the helm:Smile:its very true that when anything is created and built up into something that is very successful and the creator leaves,it is never the same and that is fact.MHF & RVOC are an absolute credit to you both.Jim im sure you will agree with me when I say behind every good man there is an equally good woman (Sian). so me and Jo would like to say congrats at getting MHF & RVOC to where they are today:thumb:

Once the owner becomes a corporate body and you can no longer throw darts that make a difference, the heart of a club dies.
I love the many friends who remain behind but feel that I am watching an ailing body die through neglect and I thank you for not taking the same route.

are you a share holder?

No...

A couple of years ago I put a Life membership up for auction (for charity, NSPCC) and Chris was kind enough to outbid everyone to the tune of ÂŁ120 quid :clap:

So he's got to stay in line and not get banned for another ten years yet before he sees a return:roflmto:

Maybe that's the way to go then Jim, sell some long term memberships.

Jim Can you tell me how to make a complaint about a member please? He has been bombarding me with abuse and hurtful comments about my parentage and frankly making racist remarks.

Frankly I suspect that you'll probably ban the member in question when you look at the evidence:Sad:

Glad you have kept the site Jim. Sitting in my MH in France reading the posts etc, it's the first website I go to when on the internet.

Much Respect

Jim, I unfortunately have not met you yet but can only say you have a website second to none. As others have said it could not have been an easy decision to have made. I can only admire your principles and I am sure other FUNSTERS will agree you are the heart of the site and without you it would not be the same. Well done and keep up the fantastic work.:thumb:
