Wow, Lotus 7 Club's quiet ... how can we help it recover
Discussion
I was! It was either get Adblock or stop using the site. It really irritated me, especially when mobile, slow connection, phone, tablet etc.
Hehe reading the thread on BC, it won't make things any slower, as they are just itty bitty ads! Hardly noticable. Negligible extra revenue generated.
Er....

Speaking as an L7C member from the colonies. For us BC is the club, And for the most part it's OK, and I do get something out of it. But it needs big improvements, Such as easier quoting and replying to a specific post in a thread. Instead of the "in reply to post #___" that no one ever notices.
Less seriously, While I realize that BC is British centric. I do in fact like the taking the piss sort of thing and fully support lively discussion.
At times though if a person is posting from a far off non-British location, And especially when posting as a new or not well known member within a particularly serious thread. "Usually involving politics or religion" It would be nice if the sharp tongued members were a bit clearer if a particular reply is in jest.
Now if one wants to see the slowest blatchat related area. Just point & click on over to https://www.flickr.com/groups/blatchat/discuss/721... Where sjmmarsh was the last person to post there 2 YEARS AGO. Some nice photos over there though.

So, the question is.... is it still quiet? did it recover?
Can't comment, as I , like most people don't bother posting there any more, so I do t know if it's regained any followers at all?From a quick look,, it seems like the traffic is very low, with very few posts, but that's been that way for quite some time, so don't know for a fact but it does seem like it's still quiet and has not recovered to the previous levels of activity from the old blatchat.

Why not take a look?

It got over the initial teething problems a while ago thanks to the work the team did to get it from Beta status. It is now a lot busier and,even at its low point, it was always busier than this forum on PH. Why not take a look?

Joined the club 4 months ago.
Have had two phone calls from AR'S welcoming me and asking if I needed any help + explaining how to get the most out of membership.
I've been to a 'Get to know your Seven' event at Caterham which cost club members a tenner for a full days tuition on basic maintenance. This was brilliant.
I'm off on the club's Oulton Park track day this month.
I've been approached and asked if I'd like to write an article for Low Flying. I did and it got published.
Blatchat has been very helpful with tons of people willing to offer advise when / if you get stuck on some aspect of your car.
I can't say I've noticed any fighting on the forum at all.
In short... so far I've had a good experience and have found the club well worth joining.
