Ask A Trader / piece of plastic sheet
« Last post by Bill on November 06, 2013, 10:00:19 am »
I need a small sheet of hard plastic.  White, around A4 size, not brittle as I need to cut and drill it.  2mm thick ideally, but 1-3mm OK.

Any suggestions?

To be honest, I'm not. They're irritating, but not in such a way that I would not come on here. But then, everyone's different. I'm sure many share my opinion, and many will share your irritation with adverts Bill.

I think if anything, what's off-putting on here is the lack of conversation. The only regular posters on here are arguing about the BID, which is obviously one of the things this forum is great for, but that was what people wanted to avoid about the google group before.

Let's get a bit of positive conversation going about other aspects of being a trader in this area, and give those who stop by something different to read and get involved with if the BID isn't something they're up for discussing right now :)

It would be great to see more users.  It is possible, though, that people will be put off by ads - I know I am.

I think priority wise we should concentrate more on getting the forum up and running, as the energy would be probably better spent there at first. Worrying about adverts (as annoying as they are) isn't as important as getting people talking and while the user base is still pretty low, it's only a select few that are suffering right now.

Maybe a compromise could be that we concentrate on getting the users of this forum increased, with assurance that this will be looked at once that's taken care of?

James, some people think the traders will be content to shell out hundreds of thousands of pounds over the next 5 years for a BID that few want.  Paying a little for a forum would be peanuts.

Bill,

I'll raise it at the next board meeting. I have to say it seems unlikely to me that people will be in favour of paying for something we can get for free if all we have to put up with are some banner adds but I'll ask.

I'm talking about the (often moving) banner ads at the top - and they are very obtrusive.

Bill

Are you referring to the banner adverts at the top of the page or are you getting more intrusive adverts that I am not?

Of course you shouldn't have to pay - you've done more than your share, in setting up the forum.

This is now the official GRTA forum, so the Association should pay.  Anything that puts people off using it should be removed.
