Two years on it's time for another update.
Obviously a major change has been the change in ownership - this was somewhat unexpected but the forum continues to progress.
The Forum was unfortunately down for a few days last week, it was changing servers. The server change had a minimal effect on the forum (other than the outage) and to date I've only noticed one lost thread - which has been recreated. A net loss of 4 images - Not bad considering there is almost 5gb of forum to move!
Users will notice that there has been a slight reshuffle of the forum's sections. All the old sections are there and many, many more sub-forums as a foundation for us to build on.
Oh, then there's the larger image allowance - I'll be re-uploading some pieces with larger images so those items can be enjoyed in higher definition.
Lots of other fun things going on too like the cheap research. Good times for collectors and those who enjoy history!
I'd also like to add that not only are we at 2,900 members now (although this will go down when the inactive users are purged - mainly spammers) but also forum usage has increased over 25% in the last month. More people enjoying more sections.
