dxmedia:
and for those guys who don't have landrovers and don't need to fettle  :lol: :lol:

All the forums are quiet at the moment, maybe longer hours being worked, more time being spent with the family...

Or people picking up bargains due to the resession and stockpiling future 'projects'...

V8MoneyPit:
On a local level, I've seen significant changes in the last few years. We used to have a core of regulars who would come along to anything that was organised. Then there were others who popped along from time to time. At one point, we had something like 30 members turning up at pub meets. Now it's hard to get anyone to turn up  :(

I know a few people who have moved on from our hobby. The cost in this financial climate can be a problem. I'm sure we all appreciate that  :roll:

As for the forum, it's nature has changed over the years with times of turmoil caused by a few members who didn't like the idea of playing by the rules. As a result of those tough times, we have seen key members take a back seat which is a real shame.

But overall, this forum remains true to it's origins. Fun, free and friendly. If it means fewer active members to maintain this, that's fine by me. I'd rather see a quieter forum than the bickering and back stabbing we have witnessed in the past.

WOT 'E SAID!

I've been one of the back seaters recently... work has kinda taken over my life and I'm not getting the opportunities to play that I used to. Also... money has picked up a bit so I can pay some other Beggar to scuff their knuckles, curse, swear and generally have fun working on my beastie!

Long live Mud Club!

Skibum

many forums are quiet this year. The one I kind of run is worryingly quiet.
