Fizzie,
In response to your queries:
The forum is now just a chat room for a select few:  Maybe go back over the last couple of years of posts and have a look at the content.
Not real interesting.
What has changed IMO is the forum it anything but a camping, camper trailer or outdoor adventure forum.
Irrespective of the stats, if no one wants to play maybe it's because of the current content.
I would imagine there is a new crop of younger one's keen for the great outdoors but the current content of the forum is rather irrelevant to them.

Nothing has really changed in my/our life other than getting too old too quick.
I/we have progressed over the last 50+ years from the most basic camping to currently a caravan.
Although a caravan is another level up from camping and camper trailers, at our age it is a well-earned comfort we enjoy.
We have done a lot of remote area travelling in our younger days and it is now getting beyond us.
I think a few of the other members have, or are, heading towards the caravan lifestyle and maybe for similar reasons.

Again, just my take on it.

The forum IMO is now just a chat room for a select few.

That would seem to be because there's nobody else here to chat to / with! ;D

As I said earlier 131 people have signed up since 1/7/24, but only 5 of them have ever posted (& one of those was an ex-member returning with a new name), for a total of 8 posts.

A couple posted an introduction, which various members replied to, but with no response :-\

Others asked questions, but then didn't respond again after they were asked for clarification.

We would love to have them all on board joining in, but if they don't want to play, what are we supposed to do?

I was an active member and enjoyed this forum in the early years but now as you may have gathered it has lost its charm for me.

Not having a go at you in any way, Rebs, but what changed, either in Swag, or your life, that it's no longer interesting ???

I am logging in nearly every workday to see if there are any new or interesting topics.

@Brett I did send you a message.

I have been a member for quite a while as well, and I am not a big contributor, but I do enjoy being part of the community.

I, like some others, appreciate a forum much more than social media, particularly when trying to locate some info I am chasing. I also like the fact that the forum is ad free, I have often thought that this forum sets a standard that a lot of other forums should strive to copy. Also some other forums I belong to have chosen to go down the 'ad free if you pay annually' route which I don't see as being any different from an annual fee to keep MySwag going.

What I was unaware of was how few seem to be using the forum, which is a real shame and I don't quite understand it.

I am willing to contribute to keep it going, but whatever happens, I really appreciate all the effort Brett and Jillsy have put in over the years for us to enjoy this site. Thanks guys.
