What has happened to this forum? I haven’t been around it or using it for quite a while, but there seem to be only a couple of members using it, similar to news stories (if you remove trolls). Is road.cc dead apart from being a “news” site?

There used to be a healthy forum with many contributors, if you look at the fantasy sections, there seem to be less than half a dozen using it regularly.

I was only thinking myself a few weeks ago that the forum had died, it seems like a few questions, a few answers and no banter. Most of the articles are also reruns of old pieces or new articles about how a motorist nearly killed someone on a bike. Sad demise for what was once a good site.

The layout does suck, has for a long time. Even the news stories aren’t getting anywhere near the number of comments that used to be seen. Apart from the odd thing that causes a stir and brings the trolls out.

I could never work out how to navigate it properly, it’s not particularly intuitive. I suppose the owners would be more happy us posting on news articles anyway, there’s no money from forums
