The technical issues have not gone way, I've been struggling all day again

""So why are we not getting any new members, after all compared with the likes of UKP/P2S/DIFO etc, I personally find that this is the best UK forum by a mile.""
Some of the other forums are dead, others ran by cliques who block and ban folks whose agendas vary from the accepted norm, some are more about wilderness survival and fieldcraft than preparedness, some I'm told can bore you to death in minutes, some even are closed groups, others are now on Yahoo or Facepage, there still plenty to go around, trouble is we are often going over the same stuff time after time after time because newbies wont use the search facility and ask the same questions time and again. Prhaps as others have suggested the forum needs to close and become an archive and a blog??
