yeah but the owner pays for it.
performance forums is the same.
Nick (the old owned) spent something like $7000 in 1 year to keep it runing. then sold it to Rollin for $3000. now he has to pay for it.

but MOST of the members donate $$ to help out. and also theres a few sponsers that have banners on every page (bda, rigoli bro's, rollin auto imports, etc..)

boostcrusing costs the same. just there all tight ass ricers and cant afford to donate

i think everyone would agree that the layout of this page is inferior to others on the net. I myself of late haven't been using this page recently for that reason because it takes too long with my 56k connection to get around this page.
i suggest that we find out how much exactly it would cost to set up a "flat post" forum like performance forums, boost cruising, ect.
a group of us (adam, joe, maybe gene and some other regular users) could decide if it is possible to have co-ownership and divide the costs, all those financially involved should be given admin status, then more regular users can be given responsibility as moderators.
i will ask some of my friends involved with websites design ect, and find out what i can.
please post here to pledge your support for this idea. if we give joe and adam enough support we can have our website ran excaclty how we want it.
sheels two cents Wink

ok i did some research into setting up a phpBB style forum, the same as performance forums and the like.
to design the site it costs NOTHING, then once the forum has been designed you upload it to a host, most hosts will run the forum for free as they will sell all the forum users email addresses to internet companies so they can spam the shit out of you!!
so, there is no need to be scared to renew the look of the hotgem forums, joe and adam if you read this, i am willing to help set the new forums up or do it all for you if you want, just find out if your site host will take the upload for the new forums. As i've said before anyone who supports this move please pledge your support here and hopefully joe and adam will be keen to take some action!
thanks!
