      We'll have (before year end);

      1. The worlds cheapest hosting (around £0.50p/m)
      2. Novelty items such as mugs (cheeky ones aimed at banks etc)
      3. Choose2Refuse - our phone service (£1p/m)

      Plus other ideas in the pipeline, one is formation of a limited company in regard of legalisation with its own registered charity with full CCL and MoJ backing.

      As I say, we'll get by nicely. All we want to do us break even. I want to get PI set-up (ie insurance) to cover us plus have a fund that we *could* issue monies to those in exceptional cases; ie to fight a court case or possession for example. Or for someone that can't get £500 to go BR.

      Anyway, we own our own servers thus it's easy enough to add racks (but dear) so when we sort an IPSTAG for Nominet (to supply domains) and finalise affiliates then we *should* start to pay for our own usage plus save some for the charity/fighting fund.

      I will not entertain adverts or banners or links. Sorry, ain't gonna happen on my watch

      Imagine if by accident a PDL appeared (think CAG) - I'd be mortified

                      I was thinking more of a google search bar that people could use, I would hate to see ads on here, as you say it could have the totally wrong things appearing!!

                      I knew you were having the hosting and choose to refuse, but did not realise that the hosting was going to be that cheap, thats going to bring in a fair bit once it takes off so should cover the costs nicely. I was looking at the choose to refuse but it looks like its only phones for now which I don't need as the number they did have for me no longer exists and if it does its certainly not in my house! Did not know about the mugs though, they could be a good seller come December!!

                      Will be great if you get a CCL, any chance you could buy our debts and sell them to us at reduced rates

                            The CCL would be purely in case someone tried to suggest we offer advice (we don't, we're a self help forum where others in a similar or worse position try and answer general queries based on real life experience).....

                            We're not wanting to become a DMP or anything, but the thing is we can cover ourselves properly by obtaining CCL.

                                Oh I'm looking forward to buying some of those novelty items aimed at the banks, I mean there are so many names you could call them and so many things they have done recently that deserve our attention - maybe start designing postcards to send them or even DCAs just to remind them of what a bunch of they really are.
