I don't know how many staff you think these boards pay for. I reckon there is at most 300 who use the boards and most are paying less than £20 per annum. That's about £6,000. |

It's not a question of how many people post on the boards though is it Kense? that is a tiny fraction of the alleged membership... what is relevant though is that however many staff there are they are not fixing the problems to a service that is being paid for and not just by the £20 a year subscribers, like problems on trees, problems with the advanced search, even the home page which new subscribers see first is hopelessly out of date. |

Well they do not exactly do that and as for the maths - there may only be 300 using the boards (I paid a lot less than £20 for a year's platinum membership) but there are vastly more members than that. |

faceache appeals to a certain sort of person but it is not for me - I am not interested in how many times my "friends" (are they really?) have been to the loo or what they ate for lunch. |
