Tumbleweeds

Post by Nick »

What shall we do with this derelict forum?

No-one uses it, which is a bit of a shame. OK, YBW is the best . . . no doubt about it . . . but a few souls post on BYM as well, so why are the tumbleweeds blowing through here?

There's no £200 limit on the For Sale forum here - I would have thought that might be an incentive . . . all suggestions considered.

BTW, May calendar is up HERE

On a serious note, Nick wrote this in 2004 and it is amazing how much YBW has changed since then. I feel a lot less comfortable there now than I did then!

Ah, so you do know that Sailroom exists then :lol:
Seriously though, I did note the comments from Nick, but nobody else said anything. If anyone has any suggestions as to how I can improve Sailroom I am all ears. Though he is relatively quiet about it, Nick does have the relavent access so he is able to change things if needed, but as with here, I think feedback does help.

Nick, haven't had time to do it yet, but was intending to link to BM. If you don't have any objections, just go ahead and do it if you get time, if you don't have time and don't object, let me know and I'll do it when I can.
