Right at the start I said that this site was what you made it. I never intended a forum at the start I wanted a repository of info for people to pull down information. I was talked into a forum and it worked out fine at first. Then I had a few problems and work changed and I just simply did not have the time and it clearly wasn't strong enough to survive despite a few people trying.
Some people blame the rules but they were simple rules on common courtesy and topic, it is a prepping site, and few posts were impacted. It makes it sound like 90% of the posts were deleted due to my heavy hand but that was not the case.
As it is user driven, if users are not here then it dies. Unlike a pub where no visitors means it closes down a forum can just sit there forever with a few people adding to it every now and again like we are doing.
People need to provide articles to keep the show alive, myself and a few others did it but work overtook what I was doing and with the lack of articles the visitors died off and you guys had nothing to talk about.
It is summer and all these groups slow down in summer, but not this much.
Eventually, I'll get back and it will start again. I'm still uploading files to the file area and am looking at adding a wiki before the end of the year. The data is there, take it and use it. You don't have to talk about it.
