I hope not too Maree he hasn’t been on here since March 24th
So I looked at the new member introductions and the last new member to introduce themselves was Anna-13
She joined on the 19th March and posted on the 24th March, so I’m guessing Azz let that post through and approved her when he was last in on the 25th March? 
Are there better forums, the lay outs might be but forum wise they are all much of a muchness imo.
Think you will find that is March 4th, not 24th - well that’s according to his Avatar activity anyway.

May will forgive me I trust for quoting her post…she’s hit the nail on the head imo
The place needs new blood!
I like this forum . I like the administrator / owner who is fair and calm unlike most owners who so often turn out to be sad tyrannical hicks with an inflated sense of their own importance .
The forum in its old form was simple but a little clunky .
It’s now more up to date but complex and not easy to navigate .

Without a doubt. AVForums is my main one and I spend quite a bit of time there. There are many different parts of the forum and I can watch the ones that interest me rather than be told of every thread started in subjects I have no interest in.
I tend to be in the General forum but if looking for reviews on a particular bit of kit then will pop over to the relevant heading.
If I want to reply then I enter it in the thread as simple as that. If I want to start a new thread then again simplicity and no effing tags if I chose not to bother.
I like it too. And I’m beginning to understand the Discourse platform thingy after a bit of research and trial and error
So many forum owners run them as their own little fiefdom and take vengeance on members they dislike and disagree with while favouring their own clique.
There’s one like that I used to read but not post on because it had some interesting posters. But they all got banned or moved on eventually because of the biased moderation and now it’s just a handful of cronies agreeing with each other! Boring!
I really appreciate this forum and Azz doesn’t seem to be like that but I wish he was around more because I fear he’s losing interest and I’d hate to see this forum fold

I didn’t find the old forum ‘clunky’ at all.
I agree that this new one is a little too complexe in some ways and sometimes difficult to navigate.
I agree. On OFC starting new threads is unnecessarily complicated and so I usually don’t bother.

Agreed x 2, its easier not to bother.

Finding the right category ( I can never find funnies ) then the tag thingies .

They probably take a look at all the left-wing bile and anti-government hate posted on here and then move on to another site.

I understand there is a very useful Yorkshire bloke who regularly posts his exploits Judd…
And sometimes alternative opinions…
Yeah right .
