We were all given the opportunity via the Community Manager (Ro) to suggest what improvements we would like to see with the CT Forum - and these were fed in to the process.

We know that the club intend to improve the website and forum - and that work is ongoing to do that.

That's all we need to know in my view.

It will no doubt go-live as and when the Club decide it is fit for purpose and I'm sure we will be given information as and when they are able to provide it..

Why would/should the Club publish its project plans (at whatever level of detail) on this forum? - just to satisfy a handful of members on here (out of the 1M CC Members) who seem to be asking for it?

I can totally understand why they are just getting on with it!!

Cheers

Bugs

Absolutely we will share more information as soon as we can, we're eager along with all of the Club Together members to get going on the new CT Happy

why are people so amazed and so upset? what is the main function of this club, is it the 'production' of high quality sites to actually stay on in real life or to have this forum? What do you want your money spent on - hard drives or hard standings?

That's a good point. I only dip in here from time to time these days to see if the software I got sick of has been changed to something that works. It's annoying to see that members' funds are still being wasted on the same old rubbuish.

If the CC is going to have a forum it should be of the same high standard of the main motorhome forum (Motorhome Fun). If the CC is not going to that then they should leave it to the forums which do a proper job.

Forum is incidental to me. Having the site bookings and Search facilities improved, core business, that is desperately needed. Not off line when you want to use it!

Interesting thread of which a valid option might just appeal.

Example :-

 

Does the CC website actually need a forum ?  The cc site is to enable cc customers to buy the CC's goods and services. The forum is only a tiny unimportant bolt on accessory.  Should the CC spend loads of the annual fees on a feature which is only used by a tiny proportion of CC customers.

There are so many other caravanning forums where caravanners and m/home owners can discuss their hobby.

Would it be helpful for the the CC to concentrate on their main business website  and discontinue this forum before spending the meggabucks required to bring it up to date.

This post is merely exploring one possible choice for the CC management.

Fine, close it and we can all use other forums where people don't gang up, use unpleasant terms to describe others, don't deliberately wind others up, don't write long rambling meaningless posts and are generally pleasant to each other.Laughing

There is indeed. Motorhome Fun doesn't even need moderators to control it Laughing
