There maybe a portal issue here or there but in time you will learn to use the other portals when necessary.
I can agree there could be some updating to the software however it is not a significant issue. The forum is easily accessible from desktops, laptops and mobile devices.
At the end of it all. The entire RV world is much better off with this forum as it stands than without it. Is it perfect no. But none of the other RV forums are even close in terms of volume, content, activity and knowledge.
The sky is not falling. This is still the best place on the internet to discuss everything RV'ing.

You may be right. But the posts here say otherwise. The majority certainly think there are problems and many see a decline.

Further you seem to say that just because the site is popular as is that means it is OK.

However, your conclusion is still mostly anecdotal, not statistical. There simply isn't enough hard data to point to anything more than a seasonal fluctuation.

What's wrong with improvement? Moving forward? keeping up with current trends in forum development?

Indeed what is wrong with the entire idea of just making it the BEST IT CAN BE?

I for one don't follow your logic.

Cost for one thing. I agree that the software could be better, but I've used a lot worse. That CAN be a turnoff for some new visitors though.
