I completely 2nd that, when I started on this forum around a year ago there were many regular posters and there was a friendly jovial atmosphere which has sadly disapeared. I get the feeling that people would prefer not to post because of the feeling that "members" will just come back with hurtful comments and generally disrupt threads just to make their manhood feel bigger.
Sad to see that this forum has evolved this way. That's my 2 pennys.

Maybe why we don't see a lot of the old regulars on here anymore. There's a lot of builders out there that do not post on the forum but like to have a regular look / read to see what's going on and if they want to spend a few hours up here to see cars (one demonstrator, two 80% complete, one at rolling chassis), fabrication and glassing and have a trip out and then maybe write a few notes about their experience then that's okay by me and makes all the hard work worthwhile as well as helping to get more people into the self build culture.
