That’s probably the most balanced, sensible reply on this subject that I’ve seen which hasn’t come from Admin or the Mods.
Thank you for understanding what it’s all about.
Chris.

Its a great site for info and I have found some useful stuff.
Its the same as having team meeting, its great to have not only tech info but to read others stories is also great.
But in the same way you have team meetings there confidential and subjects are disscussed away from the public.
I`ve never heard of a company inviting Which magazine into there meetings.
So I would be happier if tech info wasn`t given so freely on sites who`s only purpose is to generate more hits, which then increases advertising revenue and do it of the back of the public, internet sites excist for profit, same as any other business and there is nothing wrong with that.
I used to support MoneysavingExpert.com until I read some history of the guy, I don`t think he had an epiphany for the good of the public.
His web site now generates enough cash for him to live well and staff the site, his past would suggest he`s not as holy as he promotes. :rolls:
Its all in the PR and people have become more gullible these days.
There seems to be a common form of misinformation on forum sites, i`m not aiming this at UKWG (I`d gladly pay a fee to enter the site) but one particular site I no of was big on user content and constantly promoted there admin and mods services for free.
The site has grown into one of the nets biggest forums over a few years, those admin and mods who lied that they weren`t getting paid and did it for love and received a lot of good vibe and support for there hard work etc have now become owners of a multi million business and have earned a cheque with lots of zeros in it.
So when I read forums of how there run by hard workin individuals for no reward, I tend to be a bit sceptical.
I just wish sites (again not UKWG) would be a bit more honest and accept that the people involved behind the scenes do get paid at some point and state that fact.
