Sorry, my mistake.

Do you think you could pass on some of your expertise and help the poor people here at Metropol set their clock?

By the way, this forum design is only a few years old, what isn't modern about it?

Are you wedded to the idea of purchase, or would you consider some kind of investment for bits of the site? Your own sub-forum or a weekly blog page? You could just be bold ...

Byeee ;)
Hi Gavin,

Thanks for the response. I am willing to purchase the whole site in general. I would like to ask how much would you be willing to accept for this? I have some great ideas to help Metropol flourish. My budget? Well, it's in excess of £300.
Hiyeee!

Thanks for the offer. Gosh I don't know, free money is always exciting but I was hoping for, well, four figures. With one of them being a 9. Or maybe two of them. My head is spinning. Lets talk :arrow: :shock:

I'm typing all this in the admin screen. I can't tell if my privacy settings are right. Are you any good with that stuff? Maybe I should give you the password and you can see?! :ugeek:

If you PM me, I can take a look (most definitely). You can also ask any questions so you are 100% satisfied before any decision :)

Clocks look fine here. Maybe it you ... oh, never mind.

Are you talking to me from the future?

Although, it could be the time warp that covers Sheffield city centre has expanded again :(

I was mainly thinking it's not suitable for mobile devices. Upload service also has PHP errors.

Gav,

I'd say take the money. With the real terms fall in wages, who knows how much it could be worth in 5 years?

Those "errors" are decorative, like the plaster ducks. If you don't appreciate the Metro aesthetic, how could you EVER appreciate the needs of its users?

Hi Dillon. If your negotiations with Metropol prove successful, perhaps I could interest you in ChatPS?

Can you point us to a link showing what you sort of look and feel you would apply to Metropol? Don't worry about building a whole skin, just a sample in the same style.

I know, right? My big worry is, without "Admin" under my name, people would lose all respect and that.
