# ANNOUNCEMENTS #
* Links with ntl & responsetek
Our links with ntl continue to grow allowing us to get many members problems sorted out when normal channels fail the customer. In the summer we launched the ntl responsetek tool – a web based feedback system that allows members/customers to send their thoughts directly to ntl.
Server :
Problems have been few and far between over the last few months, but the ever increasing traffic is pushing us to the limits sometimes - we will be looking to move/upgrade early next year. Please remember that in the event of a server failure, updates are normally posted on the Test Forum - see
http://www.cableforum.info/board/forumdisplay.php?f=29

Cable Forum Donations Link:
The Donations link has now been relegated to the footer. The server costs are now being covered by the Google ads, so donations are no longer necessary to cover our costs. However, any donations are always appreciated and will still give you an advert free forum should you choose to make one. There is also still the link to purchase items from Amazon - again any purchases made via this link will earn us commission, which again goes towards our costs.
# COMPETITION #
We are running a FREE Christmas competition for all members - there are four prizes to be won including a Nano Plus, a DVD player and a Cordless Digital Phone. Please see

The [NTHW] Clan is going from strength to strength. Zingle has take the bull by the horns and has entered the PC Clan into a number of Medal of Honor competitions. They had their first real test last week, and I am pleased to say beat their opponents within an inch of their lives. We are now ranked 6th on the UK*Bob League's TDM Ladder.
We are still receiving new members and are currently hovering in the twenties. There is still room for more, so if you feel like joining, or wish to just experience the might that is the [NTHW] PC Clan, feel free to join us on the server - moh.nthwclan.com.
