TOCH Down :(

[Chris Goss]

This week it is up AM, down most of the day then up again late PM. Any prognosis for the future? I do miss it when down and these problems are a disincentive for others

With the risk of sounding like an idiot, would it help if the site was "cleaned up"?

How many individuals are looking at old messages? I know a few references are made
to previous discussions but what about skipping everything that is older than let's say
2014?

Cheers

I'd say the main advantage of forums over FB groups etc. are the opportunity of keeping online the old discussions and the ease of finding them. Given that the forum is almost text only, with a rather limited numbers of users the photo upload option, I don't think the database is particularly large.
And I suppose that those who like this place would consider participating in the necessary expenses. Count me in.

Ruy,

Is there any movement on this as it is getting very frustrating.

It is also noticeable that there are fewer users logged in to the site at any one time which suggests that some people may be voting with their feet.

Would it be an opportunity to address the membership of perhaps an opportunity to subscribe some sort of financial membership fee ? Or even voluntary contribution to help save and keep the TOCH alive for years to come ?

The membership list shows a total membership of 4,705.

Just to let you know, I like this idea.
