I had to chuckle at this thread, every year for the last ten years or so 002 has been saying that he may not go to the next Dragon Rally... and then he does
I intend going to the Bruce Pollard rally on the friday... I must get my money off for that.
In the unlikely event that anyone was wondering what happened to my Dragon Rally website, the fees came due and I got fed up of paying for it all and the time it was taking to do it. Ordinarily I would have probably grumbled a bit, paid the hosting and domain name fees and carried on, but it came at the time when I was at my most disillusioned about my internet use and I let it go.
One thing that did my head in was the fact that the site did carry a Paypal button and a bit of text saying
"even a 50p donation will help with website costs". Despite the fact that every Dragoneer who met me, who knew I ran the site, told me how great it was (sometimes at great length), nobody ever clicked that Paypal button.
Which leads me on to the subject of Steve Hayward. He's a bloody hero for the work he does with this site and we should tell him every time we think of it.
