    perhaps the minority(?) of us who have paid our $145 would like to resurrect it - I dont mean to sound narky here, but it does seem to be a popular idea amongst the regular posters.

    If I was paying $89 a year for a forum membership I would definitely not want any non paying members on it. I think that would be shooting the forum in the foot. I think it is not a big ask to provide one board that is only available to fully paid up Indy members. Who knows we may not even use it but at least give it a try.

    the whole point is to have a secret garden for paid up members only. Won't matter where the participants come from.

    Am I sensing some negativity here Admin. Forget the Tshirt business. What costs would be involved in doing it. You can create a board and set permissions to that board by member group. Apart from putting all paid up Indies in the member group which you have probably done already to get the "Member" rating what extra is involved in it for you. New members get allocated to that group on registration same as normal. The way I am hearing things is that we members who have taken the plunge to become a fully paid up Indy member and support Indy aren't being given anything else for that on the forum other than the right to wear the Indy avatar. Without our membership fees ILMCOA would not exist. I think a dedicated board for paid up Indy members is a very small thing to ask for in lieu of our efforts to spread the word.

    fair enough Admin, perhaps someone might volunteer to moderate the secret garden (b4 you ask, thanks for offering but no thanks)....then again, no they probably wouldn't.

    Will it be a membership drive then?

    We should have secret meetings wear funny hats and have secret hand shakes and above all else the first rule of fight club is no-one talks about fight club. Only kidding.
