Why is the Forum moving?

Daniel: To be honest the costs are quite small and I cannot remember the exact figures but it works out something like 15 quid a month or around 230 HK$. Not a huge amount but we could get it to zero with banner ads etc. We could even make a profit which we could plough back into the development of the main site or spend on beer in Fenwicks. Tough choice.

depends how you access the net. I could access in China via my work internet but it was routed to our HK servers.

I was using China Telecom broadband service.

Type spursinhongkong in google. Goes to this site. Type away, no problem.
