Very few active members are left as many old members have drifted away, either to other forums or away from this hobby to other interests.
Lots of non members are viewing but without the ability to join they are not able to join in with the discussions or ask questions.
I suspect the forum is now running on very old bulletin software with many security vulnerabilities. The owner (JG?) may have decided that to upgrade to the latest software is either too difficult or too expensive (or maybe both!) so is leaving it to run it's course as it is. This is an unfunded site with no membership fees or donations required.
Sad, but this may be the reality?

Perhaps JG could comment, if he is still with us ?

You might have noticed other parts of the site are years out of date with no updates or input. Scroll down the column to the left and you will see what I mean ! Shame really but it reflects the current scene for home built vehicles isn't what it was.
Anyone see the article in Classic & Sports Car magazine with the feature on Peter Filby ( former Which Kit editor ), very much written as a retrospective look back at the kitcar industry. All very good looking back to the 70's, 80's and 90's, it reads as if its a long gone industry that is all but dead ! Perhaps I'm just getting old ?
