How do we move on?

I've just been looking through the last few weeks of posts and I guess that there's probably less than 20 of us that regularly post on here, with probably a few new members who contribute occasionally.  But given the total membership of the CC we are nothing more than a mere pimple on the Elephants B**b.  So,- its not really any wonder that the CC ruling body take very little notice (If any) of what we say.

So how do we improve things? Personally I have long thought that our power of debate and thought, is often diluted by cynical humour. However, given our tiny ability to influence things, that is not really surprising.

So how do we make this forum more influential?

Or perhaps that is not our role?  I really do not know, & even if I did, that would do little to ease the situation, because others would seek to argue the opposite view.

So where do we go from here? Do we accept that we are of no real value at all?  Should we try harder to show the way forward?  But perhaps that's not our role!   Maybe just a light weight banter fellowship will be always our role.  But if that is the case why do we get so cross when we think that someone else is upsetting or disagreeing with us?

Perhaps its too late, and I should go to bed, but I really do think that once we were on to something, - now I'm not so sure!

In our personal view CT is not always a positive experience; however, the knowledge share is excellent for new members and established members when they widen their touring experience

Perhaps the forum will be morphed into a CC Facebook Group.------------ I'm not a fan of F/book--- but economically, that option would make excellent business sense.

I hope not Kennine. If the forum moved to Facebook then I would not be using it at all. (Never say never and all that) Why do companies everywhere seem to expect everyone to use Facebook. I know many do but surely it is a choice and if we changed to it then it would remove the choice for those like me who do not want to use it. I do not, never have and do not want to ever have to use Facebook so it woud be a big loss for me if the Forum went that way. I hope Rochelle notes my comments. Regards, Roy

Hi everyone,

Really heartened to see some of the posts in this thread; just goes to show how much you all care… It’s really nice to see. Just in response to a few of the posts: we do keep an eye on the threads on Club Together, and we do take on board your concerns. Often the solution isn't always an overnight fix, so I can understand why you may feel as though we don't listen - but we do!

In response to the speculation on the new forum: again, we’ll be able to give you more of an update on that soon Wink

On a serious note, thanks again for all your feedback

Well said Rochelle. I'm looking forward to whatever happens in the future here but personally would not use Facebook so I hope it is not that.

I had the misfortune to have to sign up (in the most basic way possible) to Facebook......just so I could follow a particular charity that I work with.

I find it tedious and incredibly tedious to follow.

As I was now conscripted, I chanced a look at the CC page......same outcome, very un-user friendly.

I'm not an IT dinasaur......quite the opposite. But I found that format to be very poor and, like that other bit of rubbish software, Twitter, is clearly designed for those who wish to dash off a comment and don't really care about continuity, structure or real conversation.

It is certainly no replacement for a forum.......
