Sorry Fooby, I've only just noticed your post. I'll have to read it back a few times to understand all of the detail. I think the gist of it, that it that technically it's a big challenge to make the necessary changes to open the forum to new members again. There definitely has to be a balance between reward & return & there's no point you putting in dozens of hours of work for what will probably be minimal traffic on the forum. Certainly time to draw a line under the idea of new members.
If you need a contribution financially in order to keep the forum going a bit longer as an archive I'd be happy to contribute. Drop me a PM if necessary. But that's not the only consideration - your time has to be taken in to account & at the end of the day, noone can expect you to invest that in a relatively dead forum. It's fair for you to choose when to call an end to it ...I certainly won't judge that decision.
