As many of you will know I have been administrator of the forum and web site since I set it up back in December 2003 and I am getting on a bit, well, got on a lot and I am now 75 and not in the best of health so I would love for someone with the time and commitment to take over so I can just log in when I can and enjoy the forum.
It will require logging in as admin or as yourself at least 4 times a week. administrating pending membership requests. Removing SPAM and junk mail and blocking those IP. updating the web site including a knowledge of MS FrontPage HTML and FTP.
I will continue to administer untill a new mug is found or I die.

Is it possible to create a few moderators, so the onus isnt on one person?

I'm to hear this, but, whilst all I've read on here is most, most interesting, you know you have to step back at some point. I just wish I had the time, let alone skills to help out... I'm literally starting my VW RV rebuild as we speak, hence having a quick look in today, oh I dearly hope someone can help out here.. Best Wishes anyway, Titch Sanders

As it has dropped to a maximum of half a dozen posts a WEEK it is hardly worth the effort of switching on the PC.
Unless someone who can give the commitment comes along shortly I will close the forum down and finally 'retire'.
The response has been totally underhelming. Not even voulenteer monitors. You have been warned. I will leave it running as it is free but in 'read only' mode

I volunteer to moderate the forum. I assume its just a case of keeping ontop of the spam posts and allowing user registration?
I really hope to make progress on my car this year so will be visiting this forum frequently.

All 'members' that have not been online in the past 2 years and have 0 posts have been deleted. Others who have not been on-line in the last two years are being revieed.
