Should Holiday and I renew our lease or let it go?

Of course renew.

You can't report your own post to the moderator, that doesn't make sense!

Why not let the members pay next year's dues? I bet we can raise the money in pledges in less than a hour.

Now that the election is over, I am not sure a political forum serves much purpose.    wynk

That we will never do.  Holiday and I are fine, thanks for your concern.  The one thing that separates us from that other forum (the dead one) is that we love movie posters, we are both collectors and we're not out there to take your money.

Actually, I'll double my offer. City Slickers 1 & 2. Possible tape marks, light discolouration, pin holes, edge tears up to 3cms, minor marks, extra folds, some creases & writing on back.
That's one each for Holiday and Thierry.
Buys me a year's subscription. Okay?

Hell throw in a Hannah and Her Sisters... To bad it will take a year's subscription worth to get the damn things shipped to him.  What that hell happened to Aussie Post?  I used to get daybills for $10 now it's $17???  Post offices converted to palaces... Geez almost ready to abandon the entire thought of buying from down under...  Hell one of the latest dealer charged me $10 to ship to Ves within the same state...  No wonder daybill prices are so high on emovie - you save so much on shipping getting them from Missouri!

Oh Yeah, keep the forum T... I like it.

Yeah, post is a bummer now. They just got rid of 250g weight, so everything is now 500g price. Before I could squueze 5 dbs in a tube for about $12. Ah, the good old days ...  ;)
Cost to UK now is $17.20. Doing a Bruce and taking a bit of a hit there.

Buy more save on average cost of postage, simple. An extreme case here last week I shipped to Alice Springs - $24. It costs about $45 to ship from Bruce, dunno why you would think it would cost less coming the other way, it's not really down hill to us, you know that right?

Oh yeah, keep the forum T - it'll do.

Indeed.  Thierry and I talked about it briefly a long time ago, but our consensus is that we don't collect a dime from anyone, and as a result we are beholden to no one.  

Have no doubt, though, that we know that you all would pitch in many times over to help, and we do appreciate the offers to do so.  But, it'll be a cold day in Hell before that happens!

Three years.  That's pretty fucking cool.
Best regards,

Holiday

And not only the no1 poster forum, but one of/if not the best forum on the web. That's not just because I love films and posters, It's because of the freedom.... All the other sites I look through won't let you post the "explicit" pics we post here, or use the language we can  on here. You can be yourself here, even if you are an arse.... ;)

Well done H & T keep at it, the Webs best double act.... :D

It's a great forum and Thierry and Holiday should be congratulated for the laissez-faire manner in which they run things.

I just sent three tubes overseas and lost $ on all of them. Aus Post pricves have gone through the roof, without notification as far as I'm aware.
Plus a good post I sent to South America was lost. I lodged three claims vias the internet only to have the first two claims lost. Most recently I had to send my receipts off to Aus Post but I have heard no more., Pretty sad when they lose a claim for a lost item

A super forum to be able to discuss all kinds of posters (and other things, too).

Thanks T and H!!

Erm, renew it.

I know I only contribute in one finite area, but I read everything.

All good.  Let us know if you want a dollar donation - I am feeling expansive!
