Hi all,
In an attempt to make VPCUK a more lean operation, save money and to stop the continuous database leakage we have been suffering we will be making the following changes by 12:00PM today.
1. We will be closing Banter Bar and Car Chat forums. These are two of the most popular forums and by closing them we can greatly reduce the amount of content we need to hold.
2. We will be reducing PM limits to 1, we believe no one needs to deal with more than one PM at once.
3. We will be placing all the technical related posts into the same forum so all technical related posts are in one place and hopefully easier to find.
4. To reduce the storage required for market place could we please ask you keep descriptions short. "Selling a Red Volvo V70 for £20" is surely more than enough of a description.
5. To reduce bandwidth consumption we will be restricting access to the site so member names beginning with the follow letters having access on the following days:
Mon - Tuesday = A-E
Wednesday - Thursday G-M
Fri - Sunday = N-Z
6. To further reduce bandwidth requirements the site will now only be open between the hours of 8AM and 6PM.
7. Images uploaded will have to conform to the new 150x150 size limit.
I hope you can all understand why these changes are required. Please feel free to discuss below but please keep comments brief.
Many thanks.

I see we now have new section dedicated to the Status and Support of other forums.....a useful edition.

I think all reference to non Volvo cars should be deleted, that would save some bandwidth, and keep Frankies posts down. ;)
