A few things come to mind.... Just think of the vast amount of knowledge accumulated on here over that time?... And the friendships made.. ..

Everybody is on FB and I don't even have an account. I've no interest in Facef*ck or any online platform of that kind. I think FB is "unhealthy" - algorithim sorting out your "friends" "likes" - "the content you are viewing" - just to sell you advertising or harvest your data. I like the internet - but I am "weary of it" - cautious is better word-explanation... Whatsapp - looks a better plan to me - only talk or interact with people in your "own phone book". But I am "an old man"... times change - and "old men" get left behind!-------------- To add to this - I do think Simon has done a "good job" with the (our) forum - over the years we have had new members that "come and go" - flood it with "opinion" and generally don't behave well! I was there at the final hours of the "original car mechanics forum" - this ended up a not a nice place to spend your time! Forums and message boards are history thou. Time and tech moves on... Well done Rhubarb (Simon)

No way 10 years
Can’t remember when I found the original car mechanics forum
Must have been a couple years before Simon set up here

This is the best forum out there, as-of the moment. It's the only one I find the energy to log into every evening; most of the others I'm happy enough to skip, when time is short, which is is....usually.
As mentioned above, the whole feel of this forum is better than so many others, whether that's electronics, or diagnostics, or just plain automobiles - the others always seem to be a bit "cold and unwelcoming", even those that are attached to clubs that I'm a member of......or indeed, clubs that I jointly founded way-back.

Dangit! I missed this as I was at the NEC over the weekend.
Thanks to my fellow mods for keeping the place pleasant over the years.

Car Club Politics is something that I think the great universities should study, it makes Westminster seem mature and productive!
