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.

Okay........ I have a bit of a trawl around the website, and buried deep, not (to me) very obvious, is a section called Club News. Here is a huge range of items about a lot of what is going on in the Club, details of all sorts of items about how sites are developing, new initiatives etc... All very interesting and possibly the catalyst to get debate and comment flowing, and answer some of those basic questions that from time to time are asked on CT. If the Club news section was made more prominent, even perhaps a section on CT with links, this might just be an idea to make things a tad more interesting, catch the attention of more members browsing CT itself. A lot of the items are big talking points, and there seems to be a lot in there that I suspect a good few members are unaware of, unless they read the Club Mag from cover to cover, or subscribe to other media outlets dealing with touring, camping and holidays, such as MMM, or "out and about live"

Can you give us a clue please, TDA. I’m blowed if I can find Club News which rather proves your point on the need to make it more prominent.

What's On is such an odd title, it might be better if it was "What's Happening." Or just simply....wait for it....NEWS.

 Sorry to be pedantic but I just tried to search for "what's on" and get:

Your search for what's on has returned 3688 results

The first entry in the list is:

Grantown-on-Spey Caravan Park

So I suggest the search function is broken as well.

Can anyone that has found this post a link please?

It would also be good to knows why much of the screen is often taken up adverts to join the club.

When I am logged in and knows I am a member!
