Hi
Having been away for a while I've only just been directed to this topic.
I've recently been sent 'a business start-up package' a member bought from another at the end of last year. The majority of the content has been taken from this forum including one post which was reproduced entirely word for word. It's not the first time this has happened and I'm sure it won't be the last.
It is a little annoying that the forum is provided free of charge and yet a growing number of members see it as an opportunity to profit from it's content.
Considerable changes are being planned for the site but the format will largely remain the same. It will be a free resource provided for those that want to make use of it.
I don't want to offend CMS and I wish him well with his charity fundraising, however, we will not support any third party who intends to charge for advice that is largely available free of charge here. If anyone wants to provide a formal 'guide' that is available to all our members then we may consider a direct donation to a charitable cause if it was deemed to be a genuine proposal. It would, however, need to be provided here, rather than on someone else's website.
Anyone that would like to forward such a proposal should contact me directly rather than post it as a separate topic on the forum.
