CycleChat paying its way - A BIG THANK YOU from Admin

[Shaun]

It's been five and a half years since CycleChat was first thrown together as a project for me to mess about with in between web design jobs.

It's come a looooooooong way since then and last month, for the very first time, it generated enough revenue to cover costs; and looks set to continue along those lines into the future.

I just want to say a really big thank you to all of you for coming here day after day, posting and chatting, and making the whole thing happen.

Thanks for all your hard work - it really is appreciated.


Cheers,
Shaun

Congratulations Shaun - luckily you got rid of the rioting tendency in P&L 'before it all kicked off'. Well done and thanks!

Non-members who visit CycleChat do see ads. Log out and come back to CycleChat and you'll see them too.

Also - Shaun has a clever system in place which monitors external links posted by members and if they point to certain sites (Wiggle, Chain Reaction Cycles etc.), it substitutes affiliate links which earn CycleChat commissions. This was announced some time ago and you can opt out of it, but most of us haven't.

No, thank you

Now that's clever - no problem with it myself.
