I think it will be very sad if this Community is allowed to die. There's a hardcore of us that have been on the Forum pretty well from the start and we've got to know and respect each other well over the years albeit though cyberspace. Some of course have met in person. Many good contributors have drifted away in recent times which is a great shame. I won't be cancelling my RSPB membership, at least not in the short term, because this would be penalising the front line staff who do such valuable conservation work.
If the forum is closed down I suspect it will be after the end of the Osprey season because otherwise there would be the most enormous outcry.
