Hello one and all,

As you may or may not be aware, we currently pay 21Publish $19.00 per month to host this community, which allows us up to 250 members, as opposed to their free package for up to 100 members.

A quick check of the stats shows that out of the 250 members, only 103 actually logged on in the past 12 months.

Given that the site is paid for out of your donations to the Tip Jar, it seems foolish to actually be paying for an extra 150 members who never visit any more. After all, it's your money that is paying for this place, so no point in throwing it away!

So I plan to email all users and suggest that any accounts not logged into for 12 months+ will be deleted. Then once we've had a tidy up, we can look at what size package we actually need...

21Publish's price packages are as follows:-

100 users with 2Mb storage space and advertising = Free
100 users with 2Mb storage space and NO advertising = £19.90 per month
250 users with 2Mb storage space and advertising = $19.00 per month (current package)

Tip Jar contents
PayPal = £103.65
NoChex = £27.94
Total = £131.59 - approximately 1 year's fees
