I'm not entirely IT illiterate but have no interest in Facebook and Instagram etc, preferring to live my life rather than write about it.
There must surely still be enough likeminded individuals aged 50+ to keep a specific interest forum going.
Strange how in some places, Barnsley and Sheffield to name but two, FM seems to thrive while in others (e.g. Norwich before our arrival) it is totally dead.
There are enough regular posters - Andy, mac, mista, MoP, OTR, KCG, Baalocks, Manx, Adi, MadAmster, Whiteram, DCFCA(?) along with the four on here - to maintain the forum and I'm sure others might return, as B&W has already intimated, if the forum was properly managed.
