Crowdfunder - Fat Jockey Forum upgrade

Istabraq said:
I had this conversation with Kevloaf last night, the crowd funding thing is just to undertake necessary upgrades, there is still (and always will be) ongoing running costs so anyone that hasn't yet contributed who wants and is able to, I'd encourage to do it, it will be put to good use and Kev assures me he won't drink it....

I agree I saw it was well over £1000 and assumed you would use additional sum for running costs. So went ahead with a donation. Congrats to all concerned. Wonderful response.

Yes absolutely

Just for anyone that hasn't seen the full cost of upgrading is 1500 so we're almost there now ... and anything over will go towards the increased running costs.

Getting this amount before the festival starts is amazing and I know some will wait until the week too





On the forum upgrade.... it sounds like it could be done over night ..... how do people feel about that happening this week?!

I could set up a poll..... :applouse: .... if we hit the total

…..traffic will get very busy after the weekend, my suggestion would be an overnight fix asap, as long as the timings are communicated.

Speed has been fixed already :onthego:

It is now just whether we switch from vbulletin before or after Cheltenham .... if we get to £1500, and I have seen a lurker who hasn't even been able to get on has just donated (so thank you, and check your emails!) ....

So fingers crossed....

I’ll be donating in the next couple of days Kev :encouragement:

Used to do a monthly but it stopped when I got a new bank card a while ago, been meaning to set it up again for ages, will get that sorted too!

Least I can do for what I get out of this site.

Thank you so much guys ... I'm almost (unfortunately for you all I can still type)
A couple of new members too ... amazing

We've hit the £1500

Absolutely amazing, just over a 24 hours and so much money raised


I don't want to start gushing but I am so grateful to every single person who has donated ... and ultimately for every single person who has posted on here no matter how much ...... as it's really got nothing to do with me personally, it's the people who contribute that make this place what it is, and I'm so proud to be a part of it

From Lurkers to Legends ... thank you all :love_heart:

maximo78 - thank you very much
opatcho - thank you - I agree, greatest on the planet
nortonscoin200 - and lovely sentiment too, I'll blush

and some anaymous ... and also a lady who I used to work with who I shared on my FB who has clearly donated with absolutely no idea why so I'll thank her :applouse:


So the question is.... are we brave enough to switch the forum like, now? This week?
