The problem with any new diy forum will be how to deal with the guy who caused the downfall of diy.motorhome. He needs to realise that he can't live on planet ego for the rest of his life.

I'm a diy refugee, will see how I get on here. I didn't realise it was a subscription model though. I've already paid for SBMCC, so I'm unlikely to pay for this as well.

Sorry to see the other forum go. I don't mind passing on advice, (don't know if anyone took any of it), but I'm not going to start paying for the privilege do so.

Thank you both for your kind words, perhaps one of you could provide a link as I'm new here and haven't quite got to grips yet.

The only Email I've had from Jim is the bog standard welcoming one, after I joined, no mention of generous discounts. So my original post stands, and to be honest, I don't think I'd make good Funster material.
So with that in mind, Mods, please feel free to delete my posts and account.

Good luck with whatever forum you run. Many years ago I set one up. Luckily it was a side-line of hosting web sites, so it cost me nothing more that my time and effort. A few years later I even hosed someone else's forum for free to save them money. Sadly it's mostly a thankless task. Thanks for the ride Jim :)

The offer was on the closure announcement email subject "DIY Motorhome News" I received mine on 14/9. I must say I was surprised at the speed of the closure, given the offenders accounts could have been disabled whilst innocent users were given time for an orderly closure. I'm just hoping I retained masters of all my pictures!

It wasn't clear that Jim's offer was applicable to existing MHfun members who need to renew.... Mines due next week!

@Jim

I took you up on your kind & generous offer for the trial subscription, and have just noticed that you have activated my account, for which I thank you kindly.

I would like to express my sadness at the death of the DIY-Motorhome Forum and my regret that some apparently egotistical and/or selfish members there have caused you to close it for reasons which I fully understand.
I had no idea all that unnecessary krap was going on in the background, and in your place, I would almost certainly have done the same or similar.
..... However, please note that your generous efforts for DIY-Motorhome WERE very much appreciated by many users, myself included.

Also, I was very sorry to read about your kids, and I offer my sincere wishes for their speedy recovery ... Family is more important than anything else in life !!

Many Thanks and Best Regards
Bob (aka Bobbejaan)
