How do we move on?

There seem to be three sorts of contributors on here. 1. Those who want advice.  2. Those who are happy to give advice.  3. Those who just want to chat, discuss, natter, and argue with each other. 

The first group has shrunk as people realise they can get rapid answers from Google -  so the second group has shrunk too. And so we are left with the third group. Is that about it? 

I think I fall in to groups 1,2 and 3 ,are we allowed to be put in to groups ???

No, there's a fourth group that you belong to

I have never known a site that freezes as much as this one!!

It's better when the warmer weather sets in

The forum has, to a degree, matured. The Fun & Trivia does seem to be degenerating though. Endless alphabetical lists have somewhat had their day and something a little more humourous or creative is called for.

Brilliant reply, love it...........

I don't think the forum was ever intended to be a means for the Club hierachy to talk to the members, as a rule they have better things to do than sit chatting on a forum, so I was surprised that there were so many complaints that this didn't happen. Then it became quite clear that very few members actually understood how the Club is run and by whom, even though there have been attempts to explain and each AGM has a 'Who's who' - though it quickly became clear just how many members bin their magazine without reading it and seemingly there is an equal number who don't realise the information is all on the website too ! 

Yet these are often the people who complain on here that no-one tells them anything ! The way forward from here?  personally, the only improvement I would like is to make it easier to post pictures but I think that may be a bit of a pipe dream because encouraging everyone to post could just clog up the site and make it slower, I'm not on a lot of other forums but I have experienced some and none are full of photos

Have just had a look at some of the other Caravan forums from the really good and popular, to those at the other end of the scale.

The better ones are attracting good and interesting posts, and at the other end the organisers are desperately trying to keep the forums alive. .  

This CC forum compares favourably with some of the best,

Don't knock it folks --- This CC forum is OK

I am a regular user of this forum, I tend to 'view' more than 'post'. I find some of the posts of no interest to me but some I open because they take my interest in relation caravanning, which after all, I presume this is what the forum is about. As a matter of routine in the evenings I go to CT just to see whats being discussed and have an imput if I have a view or an opinion, I have also used it for advice with regard to caravanning. I am surprised that there are only about 20 regular posters, seems more than that to me.

 I do think that the club should 'review' the forum, it has been running now for a few years, maybe do a survey to find out what the members/posters would like to see improved or changed. I for one think it would be good if they could make it easier to upload photos on here. We all have a wealth of caravan/motorhome photos stored on our computers including the vintage ones which I think could be a great way to move the forum on.
