Erm WHAT posters ???

A few days ago SD posted an open and honest request to the members asking for their honest and frank feeling about the forum, I believe FIVE members responded ( plus thee and me) even though I think 158 other members have read the thread.

It is as many old hands has pointed out gotten to the stage where upon many members ARE TAKING THE PISS, a few hard core regular posters plus a few genuinely talented posters like Tartar Horde, Light Speed, Jonas etc posting valuable well thought out and researched articles, whilst the rest contribute just about nothing.

So to me after 3 years of open access which HAS NOT seen multiple members sharing articles and reports with the rest of us, it has become basically just a newspaper for people to come, take what they want and leave without adding to the greater sum of our knowledge.

If there is only a few dozen hard core members, users and contributors then why don't we close the forum to the masses and concentrate on just helping each other. We can then focus our efforts more precisely with specific articles and research that will benefit the members who do make an effort.
