Where have the posters gone ?

Must admit I do miss the likes of the Admiral, Lord Brakewind and Tigerfish,you could always rely on something amusing from them, and to a certain extent Veto, he made me smile...SOMETIMES...

Ah, those were the days

I think we have to accept that not all members want to use the forum on a daily basis and some, probably quite a lot, dip in now and again to ask a question. On most forums it's easy to identify those who are the regulars, no harm in that as they tend to keep most forums going.

On the issue of supposed trolls. All I would say to people if they genuinely feel that a poster is trolling (as opposed to disagreeing with something that has been said) they should report such instances to the Community Manager. Every post has it's own facility to be reported if required.

I look in most days and skim through new posts. As we're not able to be out in the caravan much I can't contribute to current travels etc. If I can I reply to posts re sites, equipment  etc, but not being technically  minded, cannot answer many queries.

So, most of my posts tend to be in the General Chat section - and nothing much to do with caravanning (mainly confined to Farmimg, Family, and Folk music).

Maybe when we retire (haha!) that may change. But I'll be too old to care then.

It's just a shame that we have "lost" a few regulars because the forum has been a bit iffy , but it's up to them .......

It's a frustrating, long winded affair trying to do most things on this website, so I am sure it has put a lot off that used to post on a regular basis. I have just been browsing Club Site section, eventually got to the site I wanted to look at, Chatsworth. It then asked me to log in to do something, so I did. Only to find that I was looking at the Altnaharra Site now, so I have just given in, cannot be bothered to go through the whole rigmarole again. 

We also had a small parcel from the Club this morning, another two copies of the GDO guide, in same envelope! That takes us to three now.

The whole set up seems to get more shambolic day by day. Powers that be need to get a grip on all aspects and sort things out, too much money needlessly wasted on errors. Sites remain nice, but parts of the organisation and administration are a right dog's breakfast!

A lot of new people posted when the re-branding was announced, at least they were able to have a voice and can join in anytime. I see new people on here every day, the review posts engage lots of different posters. The regulars add something, it's not a bad mix. 

I'm not here much nowadays. It's not a rewarding experience. Slow website, sideways scrolling, erratic search etc. 

Tend to go elsewhere now for caravanning discussions including Facebook which I've found is pretty good for site recommendations etc. CT is one of the better ones if you've got a technical question. 

Leave threads in the wrong place and end up with a total mess? Yep, good scheme.
