Which of course, you are entitled to. Even it does make you seem a bit miserable. Please let me know where I can send your subscription refund to. I can only assume you backed the third place in the Boat Race?
As people have stated, Moderators are those that have the ability to pin, lock, or edit topics... Generally, the site is moderated very lightly... So we don't steer too many posts back on course, it's your forum, you can take topics where you want, but we do try and keep the bad language to a minimum and make the place more pleasant.
VIPs are members that have supported the forum financially. Each month I pay hosting fees for the site, coupled with license fees for the software that the forum runs on. My time is free, but you can assume I spend 6/8 hours a week running, maintaining and providing this platform for the grateful Clay Shooting community around the world. Luckily most people are pleasant.
The more eagle eyed amongst you will notice that I have removed the donation button from the site... Mainly because it didn't get used very much and the initial flood of VIPs turned into a trickle. However, I have some very kind advertisers who help me cover some of my costs. There is no profit in ShootClay... So I don't have to pay my accountant anything.
The badges that we had for events have retired, we may get them back if I can find a simple way of doing it, but the old system required a lot of manual effort from me.
