I've enjoyed the forum and have met and made many new friends across the nation as a result, inc some now lifelong friends.
As with any good thing I.e. Tupperware, Old Format Camping Stores, Canvas Campers, Freedom of Speech in the USA etc, times are a changing, priorities and future plans for all of us will continue to evolve.
I think you and the mods have done a great job, even potentially saving some people's sanity and possibly lives, but it might be time to wrap it up.
I know there's some that don't use social media and use this forum to stay in touch, but if the friendships are strong, they'll find a way to stay in touch.
