Thanks for the info. I, like most of the other here I guess, am more than willing to give things a chance but with my annual renewal coming up in a few months I do need to think about the future too, especially since funding the site comes out of my own pocket.
I'm interested to see what the UBBDev guys get up to (I haven't had a chance to visit them yet) and I just hope that some of the community spirit that exists here carries over into the (more) corporate world.
