Hi I'm a regular visitor to the forum,but I've noticed it's not as busy as it used to be,is it due to time of year in everyone busy doing extra work ? Or enjoying the summer sitting in the garden ?
Or have people moved on to different pastures ?

That becasue theres lots of lurkers but not many regular posters

I think it always goes a bit quiet in summer, especially when the weathers good. Nothing to moan about.

You've made 3 post since the 17th May.

I'm just saying it's quiet because no one joins in but a few regulars.

Yes I get that,but there used to be people whe were on here regularly that have disappeared eg Alex gardener,also there is a lot less activity,

People move on - to be fair there's not much new happening in the world of window cleaning - not like when I joined - DIY WFP - Alex just getting into making great products - gutter vac's etc....

We also suffer from the "troll" - most threads are ruined or hijacked with the same useless posts/posters - so its not surprising decent topics have dwindled

What happened to the guy who started DIY WFP? I can't even remember his name. Tosh was also a regular poster on that forum.

I remember once he (not Tosh) got a planer or angle grinder and drill to a Vikan Oval to shave weight off of it. He succeeded, but it looked awful. I couldn't see myself doing that to my Vikan brushes.

The forum is an outdated medium as well these days. Particulary this one 

The fb pages are more popular (as well as more modern forums) because replys are instant and you get notifications when someone is talking to you directly.

On here you still have to post a thread with F.A.O  to get someones attention, there isnt even a pm function  its like being stuck in 2003.  No wonder people have moved on.

To be fair, it’s amazing it’s as busy as it is when we’re all window cleaners, cleaning windows, day in, day out.

Somehow we strike up relevant conversation.

Matt - he started his own forum - was pretty good for a while

How long do you think CIU will last before the plug get's pulled?? I reckon some posters on the non-cleaning section are quite obsessive posters and will probably have nervous breakdowns when it finally goes.

It's good fun but it does go too far, at times.
I'll have to start fishing in real life instead of fishing on the other side.
I can't wait  .

You don't have to.
You did want the job though. You were very keen to be a mod.
Probably so you could learn to post in a Geordie accent .

You think this is quiet? You need to check out the rug-munchers side of the forum.
