It's worth checking through the forum's history to see if the answers to your questions are already there.

Big Chris said:Unlike The_Lhc, I don't see 'The Apex Club' type threads as being particularly exclusive or elitist. To continue using the 'Apex' thread as an example, I don't think I've ever looked at any of the posts there, as I'm neither an owner or a prospective owner,

IMO that's exactly the kind of thread we don't need, exclusive and divisive, even the thread title is setting up a somewhat distasteful "them and us" scenario, if you don't own this kit you can't join in.
You're right that there isn't the same level of interaction from WHF staff as there used to be but of the two main WHF posters one has now left the company and the other appears to have decided he'd like his life back (and I don't blame him, there were times when I wondered when he even slept...). I don't know if the headcount at WHF has been kept the same since Clare left but if not I can imagine that the rest of the crew are somewhat busier than they were before. Mr Clough answers direct questions fairly regularly. I expect Mr Madden would as well, if only posters could shoehorn the word "Wigan" into their questions...

Can't envisage Chebby, you or me being around in 5 years time.
Correct about niche threads, but that's always been the case... instead I prefer to relax with a large glass of Martinez and lemonadethan to get involved with subject I know nowt about.

Paul Hobbs said:Why not have a new members sub category? Stick the welcome thread in there, along with a couple of bi amp or biwire / plugging a stereo amp in to an av amp/ nas basics threads so they are easy to find for new members?

See I tried that with my 13-point manifesto. And still they argued the toss...

No. You didn't. And that's still boring.
