The real reason the forum is down on posts is the hobby is in free fall, certainly in England. The Internet has much to do with our countries mess, business reducing, prices and hence margins below a break even figure. Everyone thinks things should cost less, that's not possible, our hobby is the cheapest its ever been, if you want it to get better, people need to get real and accept prices increasing.If you don't there will be a tiny choice of product, which will suit the keyboard flyer who started this...
I don't see that the hobby is in free fall at all. In the UK some companies in this market are doing very well indeed, Building a warehouse to double the size of their operation (That should be open just after Christmas) and creating (at last count) over 25 new jobs in the UK. I would call that on the up not free fall
