Just got a letter from ELECSA , their price is going up from £39 a month to £41 a month about £490 per year now. I thought they might have come down with Stroma being only £280.
Top Posters Of The Month is active, you'll get a badge for the following month when you win. I've removed admins from the counts now so it's between members only. A lot of mine are automated posts and it's unfair to count those.
Good Luck
