More updated club pages...I've been good and put a new KL one on, and maybe a few more discussions.....I've feeling positively angelic so I'll start one of those too. Perhaps if we can get a few discussions going without the rancour and downright idiocy on BSF who knows it might become THE place to be The first tentative moves to a WWoS revival are under way but so far response to contact messages for more member in-put seems to be falling on stoney ground. The introduction of a Facebook forum has also proved to be rather slow in gaining much response. But, being an optimist (??) so far as the revival is concerned I'll hopefully say "It's early days yet.."

Good luck with the relaunch Speedyguy. My attempt in November 2011 fell on deaf ears - I hope you have better luck.
All the best Rob

So far the effort is as "dead as the Dodo" but things are better - to a certain extent - on Facebook.

What do people think would help getting this site more active again? A crucial question for all members. See the previous Post as well!

So in other words, what you're all saying is that we don't need a load of flash gizmos on here, just some good old-fashioned sensible debate. It is a shame that for ever good poster on the BSF, there are around 5 to 6 mindless gimboids. You have to trawl through so much rubbish to get to the interesting stuff. There's quite a lot of discuss at the moment, such as the fact that everything seems to be far from rosy in the SGP (rider withdrawals) / SWC (reduced heats) garden. I think that's a good assessment of the situation Genghis.

That's because basically the BSF isn't moderated! It's moderators list shows half a dozen people - apart from the owner and one other, the others seem to have been inactive for months. What it needs is for a determined Mod to contantly delete any off topic items straight away. One recent thread on there supposedly dedicated to problems Australian riders were facing in regard to obtaining visas for entry to the UK in 2014 ended up with a debate about Scottish pound notes! You get answers like "whoosh" and so forth. If you are reprimanded by a Mod and attempt to reply there is no response from the Forum. One is just seemingly ignored by the forum owner - as I see it. It's three months since I lasted visit this forum - February. And that was probably the last time a member logged in. Dead as the proverbial dodo bird!

A routine Admin visit to keep the board alive! There is so much historical data placed on here - it would be a shame if, because of what appears to be a lack of interest, it was to be taken down by the Server, And that could happen.

In fairness, speedway in this country is heading down the tubes so it's perhaps not so surprising that the level of debate deteriorated. It should all have been sorted out once and for all last winter. But it wasn't. And it still hasn't been. Frankly, it deserves to die ... it has no soul and increasingly no relevance. That's a fair point - and despite the many years since it was originally made deserves further debate IMO.

It is 2.10pm on Monday, January 25, 2021. I look with sheer horror at the disjointed happenings on this forum. In several instances the same thread is duplicated. I recall more than 10 years ago when in its formative years just well organised and moderated this forum. And it also had a large membership base. Where have they gone? Looking back over old sections there are indications tat for some unexplained reason many - a substantial many!!! - were for some reason deleted as members. Who did this and why? The sad thing is I doubt that at the present time there are any other visitors to this Forum other than 'yours truly.' For all my ranting here I hope and trust that I am wrong. Indeed that another member will read my Post AND ACTUALLY REPLY/COMMENT to it!

Just to give YOu some feedback. Whiele searching for some info about Ray Tauser, I landed here by chance. Never had found this forum before.
Unfortunately Your forum seems to be very much unknown to most of the people, that's why there are no user and traffic.
I will take a closer look in the history section to see if I find something of interest here. Anyway, thanks for Your efforts to provide this.
