I've been on this forum for about 6 years. I met a lot of great people here, and it's been a part of my life and taken up a good chunk of my time. There have been several major changes over the years, including the previous change of ownership to Martin, and I worried that the site would fall apart. If anything though, it's gotten better and more stable.
I think we shouldn't worry too much. B's a good guy and I trust that he's not doing this just to scam some money off us. I understand that some people are students/don't work, but 20 euro is really not that much if you think about it, and I'd be happy to pay it to keep this site going.
