In all fairness, I must say that the forum was created during the last crisis that befell the Haynes forum & was not intended to be a rival to the Haynes forum.
During the last forum meltdown we lost 1000's of posts & threads due to a hack.
I was surprised to find that the admin of this forum did not take the time to make a back up of this forum, as a result we lost a lot of valuable information ( Gone for good
).
As said, my forum was created at the time so as genuine members could keep in touch with each other whilst the Haynes forum was closed down ( With no indication of when it would be back )
Some at the time thought I had a hidden agenda but that's not the case.
The Haynes forum was once a lifeline to the outside world for me, just trying to give a little back.
Would be happy to host the forum at my own expense ( Providing the costs were not prohibitive )
Already paying for plenty of empty web space.
I can see how folk are cheesed of with the current situation, it was all so easily avoidable.
Just the thoughts of this old fool
