We the forum members will never own or have control of the forum, it belongs to Haynes.
We the HSCC will not have a club forum the Haynes forum will remain.
The reason we want a club is so we can belong to something along with like minded people, If you tried to go to an insurance company, organise a track day or get discount from a major supplier and said we are the Haynes Forum I don’t think it would have as much clout as we are the Haynes Sports Car Club.
I want to go to a club web site and look up club events and go along with my club Polo shirt on with my keys on a club key ring and make friends for life with like minded individuals, I want to have a club stand at Stoneleigh with a marquee with a big banner with a few club members cars out the front talking to interested individuals all day long, inviting them to join the club.
With a forum there is no command and control, no one to hold accountable. A club will work much better.

Here' a little yarn from me !!
Life long fabricator welder & mechanics runs through my blood.
My late father was ex Fleet Air Arm, airframe fitter & engineer..... When he retired , He was Chief Engineer in Britannia Airways ( Luton airport )
All of us boys were taught to do all of our own fixing on all things mechanical
To the point of my yarn !!??
Could I have built my car without the help of this forum ? ...." Probably "
Would I have completed my build or had an even better build ? ..... Hell, NO .... With my ongoing health problems, I would have given the build up ages ago
It is thanks to each and every forum member that I have the desire & motivation to get my build completed & on the Road.
The thought of turning up at Stoneleigh in my own build, keeps me going
