For those who contribute to the cost of running the Site why not recognise them with Airline style status tier levels such as for example :

$x a year Bronze

$2x a year Silver

$5x a year Gold

$10x a year Platinum

The search programs aren't perfect, I moderate several history based pages on facebook along with making my own posts and I've personally only gone to facebook jail for other things, never a swastika and the pages have only gotten a couple of pictures deleted. There is a human behind the system who has to review all reports, there is an appeals section and again, is this a big issues for airliner and aircraft pictures you'd post here? No, it isn't.

The search function is keyword, it works just fine, the problem is the information that people put into their posts, or lack there of. This issue exists on any forum, including here. A post with just a picture and no text will not get picked up by the keyword search anywhere. This is a PEBKAC issue, not a software one. Searching for something you have a "vague" recollection of is a user problem, not an issue with the search software. I'll put it another way; if you can't remember what you're looking for, do you blame your memory or the item you're looking for?

Like many older people who did not grow up with computers, your preference lays with the format you are most familiar, no offence.


As per usual, you know everything so I'll just leave it there as there's absolutely no point whatsoever continuing. But being the Oracle I thought you woulda known more about FB jail, review process etc. Not growing up with computers? Are you effing serious? Shows how much you actually know pal :lol: :lol: :lol: Anyways over to you big fella for the last word :roll: :roll: :roll:

Mate, computers have been around a lot longer than you think...first time I got on the internet was about 1978.
Pretending to do it TAC style with the big boys since 1987
Also, we don't need no steenkin' VLATs!

The other thing I don't like about Facebook is the increasing number of ads there. It may be searchable, but not by those of us who are barely computer literate.

Brad is right that I don't like the facebook format because I am old, crabby and set in my ways. Along with several others I am quite willing to pay for my old fashioned ways. I don't know about others but if I had to pay an annual fee to be part of a collective running this forum I would probably feel inclined to use it more often too. It costs me a little bit each month to enjoy Big Jet TV and I consider it good value for money. It may well be the same for this forum if some of us contribute to its upkeep.

What are your thoughts Mr TOR? How much would you need to be encourage to keep this forum open?

This is looking like what Lord Hesketh faced at the end of 1975 after he resisted sponsorship for years and funded everything himself (well with his Mother’s money actually!).

Well I ma not doing it with my mother's money, I can assure you.
