CycleChat paying its way - A BIG THANK YOU from Admin

[Davidc]

Bravo Shaun! And an even bigger THANK YOU in your direction.

As they say in Westminster - hear hear.

How does it generate income? I don't see any ads thankfully.

Banner ads are displayed to guests; advertisers pay to post in the ads forums (only a couple at the moment - Hello Colin and Roadkill); and external links are checked for qualifying merchants and if someone buys something we get a small commission (and it doesn't cost the buyer extra).

So people are "doing their bit" but in a non-intrusive way and at no extra cost to themselves.

[Edit: Damn ... Colin beat me to it. ]

Good news Shaun. How much did they say Facebook is worth?

 

[Brahan]

Good for you for sticking with it. I can guess there must have been a few times when you've really wondered why you're doing it. Thank you for doing so.

Thanks Shaun.

You've provided an amazing service for nothing (for the user) and you can't say that every day.

Good on you.

I hope Hull's OK (no looting) - I spent many happy years in West Hull in the Princes' Ave area and keep planning to go back. I'll let you know if I do and buy you an unlimited number of beers in the Old White Hart.

Thank you for CC in the first place!

Thanks Shaun!

 

[Shaun]

Give over - I'm just the oily rag man - YOU LOT make CC what it is.

Seriously, thanks you all for your continued support and commitment ... it makes CC what it is - a fantastic community and a great place to hang around.

You all make me laugh and cry on a regular basis and it's cracking to see so many new people turning up and getting stuck in, and so many long-timers continuing to visit daily and share their wisdom and wit.

Where else would you get virtual strangers welcoming you into their homes without batting an eyelid; letting you ride thousands of pounds worth of pride and joy without any threats of "if you scratch it I'll kill you"; writing excellent books about long rides and plastic ties; nursing you round rides when your fitness isn't what it should be; etc. etc.

It really is, at its heart, a friendly place with some cracking people and I thank you all for making it happen.

Onwards and upwards.

Cheers,
Shaun
