Are we doomed?

Does anyone else fear for the future of this forum? Do you feel we are being treated like second class citizens?

A couple of posters have mentioned the staff input on the FB page recently and, yes, there they are. The staff members who were introduced here are actually posting on FB but, largely, ignoring the forum. (A word in praise of CL Maddie wouldn’t go amiss here - she’s head and shoulders above the rest.)

As for staff members being moderators here, what a joke! Even a visit from the CM is a rarity these days.

Then we have information about a review of the booking system being given in an interview to a commercial magazine. Hello there! What about us? We are the members who pay our membership and site fees which ultimately pay staff wages yet we are ignored on this and most other issues. It’s simply not good enough, CAMC.

Given the lack of staff input from all levels to this forum, it’s no wonder that the same old moans go around and around debating the same old topics. A bit of informed input from those who have the knowledge and ability to do so could turn this forum around from the appalling shop window of the club it is now into a pleasant, entertaining, informative place to attract new and present members.

I’ve not opened the can of worms that is the shocking software performance of this forum as that is a whole separate issue but am concentrating here on the apparent shabby treatment of users of this forum which borders on an insult when you see what happens elsewhere as I’ve outlined above. It seems to suit CAMC to mostly ignore this forum's existence.

I always log off everything, clear the browser history frequently, not keen on keeping too much data on phone or laptop. Due to frequent similar searches everything comes up quickly so it's not a problem and things stay up to date. I don't follow anything or ask for email updates either. Due to slow internet speeds locally this is part of the general process to keep things flowing. smile

This forum is only doomed if todays spectacle about  Knarsbough is the example to follow. Take a look at todays Overseas section, a number of new questions posted in search of genuine answers, no need to be interested or have any plans to indulge just look at sensible  questions being answered in a spirit of helpfulness .

Which has absolutely nothing to do with the points made in my OP. 

However, thank you for your opinion, David. It’s confirmed my views of some things.
