Single figures I reckon I don’t think it’ll make a blind bit of difference if you had to be a member to view

I think by closing the site to the public and people having to join to view would make people viewing a topic more likely on the spur of the moment to reply once they have done that then they will be part of the subject and possibly reply again
Currently they might think I can’t be arsed to go through the joining and waiting for approval so by then they have lost the Initial interest to reply

If you got 3/4 by trying it its better than sat doing nothing
Like you say only about 12 post currently regularly
I know in the past there was less at times nothing for days pretty much

Be nice if we could get 20-25 posting

I agree with your reply Neil, I just think it needs looking at, definitely missing a trick & possibly new members.
