Hi there, i8gb, and welcome!
The owners decided to close it down, as it was taking up too much time and expense to both keep it running, and to monitor it.
And so, after about 10 years, they felt they had no choice but to close it.
However, this version courtesy of philbadfactor, is a way to keep it old Forum going.

i8gb hi. hope you stick around on this new forum as we're trying to make as close to the old one as possible. it just looks a bit different.
same help and advice hopefully and general moaning as before.
we're trying to get more members to make posts more often but there's no problem if people just want to pop in now and then without posting.
i like yiour screen name btw.

Hi I8gb.
There was a lot involved in running the website. The information we’d collected took a lot of time and updating regularly became time consuming and exhausting. People seem to forget that we also are disabled and Grundle has been seriously ill for two years (undergoing regular infusions to fight his illness).
The cost would have been no issue had we seen more numbers coming into the site but as we were down to about eight regular users it was time for us to call it a day.
Phil wanted to try to keep the forum going so we suggested a free forum and so here we are!
I will try to add helpful information again as I did on the original forum but my time is limited so patience will be needed.
Anna

Thanks. Good you are keeping this going in the face of relentless Tory attacks on sick and disabled. Thanks to all involved for all your work and effort.
