why are the forums so quiet.

John, with regards to the lack of moderation, I think you'd be surprised at how many posts/threads are closed or deleted, but at the same time I'm sure none of us want a heavily moderated forum, a light touch is best in helping to keep the discussions moving. We are all adults and also we all see different issues, and whilst we all acknowledge that the political/welfare discussions became too much, they have now been drawn right back, but also there is some relevance to the discussions as these issues may eventually be the cause of problems that impact upon us all.
