PPRUNE is probably one of the busiest vBulletin sites in the world and has frequently gone through growing pains. However, I find it amusing that the first post and next three after are from people who haven't paid a penny towards its upkeep - especially the OP who's been a member since 2002. The Search function will find you the thread on PPRUNE changing hands but I suppose laziness is an issue as well as cheapness.
