Good grief!
I almost missed that.. so glad it was brought to the attention. The thing is this forum is fairly new as well. Its a relatively recent build only brought about with reluctance, as we had turned our back on forums, and wanted just to do a general website.
We had a little Letters Page going and it was getting more popular and more popular, but then was attacked by spammers. Some said maliciously. We had to scrap it as we were overwhelmed by the spam...it was only then we opened a LITTLE forum for the guys who used the Letters Page and almost didnt want members, hence it not being open generally to the public, people have to apply to join.
Amazingly then we found the Clubhouse idea worked, gave better quality and less/almost no destructiveness....and here we are.
The Members are just great, especially the ones who contribute everyday, they make it what it is.
