A short survey shows that many one-shot visitors to the site only want a snapshot of the place. Sometimes to buy property or rent a house here, or for other reasons.

    Apart from the fine contributions to the Gallery we really don't do this because:

  • The Members Forums are too busy with other gossip.

  • The Member's Forums can't be searched by the major search engines.

  • The usual threads are simply too long and convoluted.

  • Our own search isn't much use unless you know the key words to search on already.

  • They probably don't want the hassle of joining for what might be a one-off visit.

  • The moderators need an easier job of watching for misinformation too - particularly important here.
Be honest but be fair to the old place! i.e. not too many gripes. Enjoy!

P.S. We need a mature moderator (without any warnings) for this forum too. Please PM me.
