Seriously BM. Why don't you have a butchers at one of those free forum providers. Hasn't got to be the one I suggested. I'm sure there are many others out there.
Not as though there are a squillion members trying to get in either ey, so bandwidth or whatever you call it shouldn't be a problem I'd have thought (with my extremely limited knowlege on such matters, granted.
)
I know the ads are a bit of a of a pita, but they don't really distract on my lickle one from my experience, and you can customise them to your own design...ish too.
Like this place, sheeples can only join by request and approval too.
Only a suggestion like, so don't be offended.
