Reduced in size again with only reports for Farnborough and Lasham remaining.
Tony says his wife is so ill now he hasn't got time to administer any more than these.

You have to feel sorry for him if that is indeed the situation but reducing the forum even further will only upset what few contributing members he has left. Administering a forum takes very little time in reality, Jeff, Bill and I check in a few times a day between us. What would take time is if you personally insist on reading every single new post but given that the daily traffic on FAG forum has shrunk to virtually nothing, then I can't really see why it would take up so much time for him.

Message from Tony that his wife is in a very bad way now.
He's restored most of the forum but without any mention of Blackbushe. He is accepting new members until 31 Jul but anyone who hasn't posted by 1 Jul 'will be removed'!

It really doesn't make sense at all. A few weeks ago he shut down most of the forum due to his wife's ill health and now, when it appears that she is even worse, he reopens it all again. His obsession with people "not posting" is ridiculous. If he doesn't want these people reading and taking info from the forum, then why run a forum in the first place? We regularly get up to 500 visitors a day on AFA, the fact they like to see what we have to offer is great, and it doesn't bother me, Jeff or Bill one jot whether these guests contribute or not. We also have loads of members who have taken the trouble to sign up, but have never posted, or only posted a few times. Again, why get wound up about it? One of his latest posts mentions "removing dead wood from the forum" and he further reduced his membership from 110 or so right down to 90 - heaven forbid that we ever, ever regard anyone on AFA as "dead wood". The FAB forum is run" to suit the owner rather than the members- he upsets people, is totally illogical in the way he "manages" the FAB forum and has this phobia about people taking info from the forum without contributing.
Having said that, I'm that all of us here on AFA send our very best wishes to him and his wife.
