It makes me sad reading this thread.
I hope something can be done that will revive the forum.
As an internet technical ignoramus, not much I can contribute on that front I'm afraid.
Let's not fall out over this folks.

Not his old argument again.
It is simple. The old forum name was deindexed by Google, that means it was removed from the search results. This meant no listings in the search results = no traffic = dead site.
Name had to change to a domain that had already been previously indexed, it impossible to start with a new domain. This limited choice. The old domain was misleading in itself, and was only listed mainly in google.co.uk search results. The new one is listed in all google search engines.
We have 55,000 pages indexed, which means people searching Google can find the site in search results for 55,000 different pages on here.
The number of hits the site now has has continued to grow month by month, as this graph shows.
The name of the site is actually irrelevant, especially when it comes to forums. Less than 1% of visitors will ever post. They are looking for answers to a question, if they find it, they move on, if they don't, they move on. This is how forums work. I read a lot of forums every week looking for info, but never post. I also never look at what the site is called. Information is king on the internet, not domain names, they are only relevant to the search engines.
Changing the domain/site name would mean no indexed pages on Google. So no one would ever find the site. It would then take 1-2 years of hard SEO work and money to get it to where it is now.
A problem with a mature forum, such as this one, is that nearly all of the answers people are looking for have already been posted, so they do not need to sign up and ask.
The best way to get more folk joining in is quite easy, posters need to start topics with a question in the title, or talk about the latest news.
Happy New Year. News of my death are premature, but my hands have died to arthritis which makes typing a real pain. Hence I have to limit how much I can type in a day. This post has hurt to do, so shut up now

Thanks for the clarification, I'm now not as ignorant as I was
Yes, thanks for clarifying Keith.
I THINK I'm a bit wiser now.
... and Happy New Year to you and Rayna !
There you go. I hope no one will say it's the forum name again. I kept on telling Keith to just post once again to clarify everything. We already said it in the past and this issue keeps on getting reincarnated somehow.Keith has never even been bothered about how the forum is, especially about the name. We can just end it here HOPEFULLY! I know the ones who chose to leave still access the forum. The admin can see their activities. They just chose to view threads and control themselves from posting again because they've said they've had enough of the forum.
Happy new year as well Graham and to your lovely family.

We need music......lights........action,Page title up in Flashing neon,big names,tight script and storyline
Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

Not posted much in the last 3 weeks due to a holiday to Dubai and The Philippines. Had a great time, including Typhoon Nina. Dubai was great too, always changing, always interesting (there is life past the hotel and mall).
That looks lovely where is it?, could do with some of that sun before the snow starts on Thursday....
Lobo, Batangas. Unspoiled, at the moment.That looks lovely where is it?, could do with some of that sun before the snow starts on Thursday....
That does look nice... and not too out of the way, presumably.
1hr South of Batangas City. So for most Puerto Galera is easier to reach. But Lobo is v quiet which I like, and Roses house is in Batangas City (which is like Grimsby - def not metro Manila) so an easy traffic free drive.That does look nice... and not too out of the way, presumably.
