Where have the posters gone ?

Don't  feel  the  least  bit  devalued  David,  I  say  my  piece,  add  my  quips  etc  and  there  I  am  !

Now  I'm  off  for  lunch  &  a  bit  more  laundry  work  !

Perhaps some of them will return to chat ,now they have seen we are a friendly bunch and don't bite

That'll be waiting for COTY2 before they reappear 

I been working on my youtube channel it LanceWhitaker on youtube I do videos about my caravanning I'm not the boxer in Floreda on the frontpadge is the GrandTetons an the thumbnail is a white SUV watch my channel and subsribe

I don't think it's quite as straightforward as Where have they gone? I have seen plenty of new names appear but mostly restricting themselves to the technical side of the forum or asking questions pertinent to touring.  I got the feeling that quite a few are just readers which is fine if that is what they want, my wife does the same on an art forum.

I agree that no new faces seem to be bothered about the general chat side which must seem like a cosy enclosed club to those that dip their feet into it. Maybe they're on a non fast food diet?

I'm always amazed when providing a review on the CL section to see how many new names (to me) leave reviews and how long they've been doing it

I still find some aspects of the new site tedious and off putting and the fact is it does not need much to make you think why bother I've got other things to do. Read many of the posts about the rebrand but  since whether  I like it or not will not affect my use of club sites, rallies and other services I saw no point in making a comment one way or the other.

I have always been I interested in the sites and caravan sections and other technical matters and have contributed where possible but unless I am mistaken there is a considerable decline in new posts even in these areas.

I think perhaps that all the changes in combination have unfortunately acted as a deterrent both to new and old contributors and it may be a long  time if ever before the popularity returns.

Sorry to be so negative, but, IMHO this site has gone downhill. Nothing has changed, hardly any response from those that "matter" to the many questions posed by members trying to find answers, but then again, this is not the place to ask questions, which becomes clear to see by the lack of  response.

Still the same old Trolls waiting to pounce, Why should a newbie post, when all that happens the majority of time seems to be a reply  that is sometimes quiet daunting to a new poster.

The trolls can throw what they like at me, but I have a resilience that carries me through, without harm.

I dip in to this forum now and then, but after a few minutes browsing, soon become bored with the same old rhetoric.

Good luck to the few members that try to make CT the forum it was, you have my admiration.....

Thanks for telling me this. I hadn't realised

Maybe when newbies ask for advice or some technical advice moderates move it to another site then they have search through so many sites they get fed up like me  when there's so much knowledge out there to found  don't move it then we all learn from Avast scource of info i love passing on info learnt while travelling and from this site but get fed up when trying to find info as been moved  

Happy to help
