Don't fancy my chances with this one.... looks well warn out already. Hahaha
On the ops question. It would be great to keep the forums going. Easy to navigate, find the right sections etc etc.
I actually prefer them.
But unfortunately, newer generations just want to post and move on Like with other platforms.
Plus I've actually found that some people don't like forums, because you can't delete/hide negative comments.
So on fb, if you make a post. You have control over who can comment etc. And still come out smelling of roses.
Here, they have to face the honest truth, and can't hide from it!...
Plus they can't be arsed to do the research themselves, where they can just keep asking the same 5 questions over and over hahaha.
But I'm game to keep the forum as much as possible.
I'd be interested to know how much it costs to run a forum. I'm not tech minded, so is a genuine interest here?
