Just a thought
I think a lot of interesting posts are/were from students or low hrs pilots either asking for info or just sharing joy,fear,worries,etc
eg Mazzys 0-45 hrs was brilliant.
Maybe in the current financial crisis there are less people learning to fly?

I think I'll send a PM to the OP of the closed thread and ask him to start it again.
Then we can all post positive replies before the bullies get in. Power to the people! Vive la Revoltion!!

Also less people able to keep flying too...me one of them...
Visiting the forum sometimes makes me feel like a starving kid peering through the chip shop window.
I want it, I need it but I cant have it.

Well, I can't comment on why the thread was locked as it wasn't me who locked it and you all know I do welcome newbies to the forum with open arms!
In fairness though the guy did say this;
and;
As for the forum being quiet it traditionally goes quiet during the summer flying season, people being away and out flying etc so it was no real surprise to me to see the post counts down although I was surprised at how much they were down.
I can only put this down to the recent unannounced downtime from the servers resulting in many people unable to log-in for long periods of time. Also the dreaded 'Database' error has raised it's head a few times far too much for my liking recently too. People get fed up, myself included and the other mods and admins here too.
I don't like seeing the site down, it drives people away and that has been seriously annoying me as we (all of us) have built this forum up over the years only to see people keeping away because of the unannounced site 'downtime'. I have been assured though that the reasons for the site being down have been dealt with (human error) and things should improve and I can say though they have been improving too over the last couple of weeks.
Fly safe guys and have a fantastic flying season wherever you are.

no real point to this thread
Apologies for the useless thread, but I promise to contribute something shortly!
