The domain name renewal date is imminent and it will be renewed for another year, so one year at a time. It will be reviewed again in another year, but without fanfare, - it may simply disappear around the 7th July 2023.
It is up to all of you - like the old saying about our amateur bands : 'Use them or lose them' holds just as true for this forum. Encourage others to join, post.. That could make the difference.
There are now two moderators who can undertake some of the housekeeping tasks on an as-required basis and that is the only reason it is being renewed. Without these two volunteers, renewal would not be a considered option.
It is my opinion that there is not enough 'real' usage to warrant the forum continuing - not enough new posts, not enough member visitors because it is for the members that the forum operates, and not the visitors.
I am not talking real 'stats numbers' here, but the impression I get when I look at the details at the bottom of the main menu page usually each day. I do not particularly care about the magnitude of the casual visitor numbers. If the 'visitors' are interested enough and find relevant-enough data on the site, they should register - and be counted.
Use it - or lose it !!
