 The world's moved on , Spence , we're "dinasours " now . It's just the way it is . Over the years there have been some wonderful posts on here , and the great thing is , you can go back and look at them any time you want . That's why this site is worth keeping , and if you want to keep it , you've got to contribute from time to time . Let's see if you get a good response ,or not . I'm not hopeful but .........

 Come on Mark ,,you must know this Insta site?? 

Sad but true Spence .. I've also had memorable times on here for many many years and sad to see it's decline . I am for sure one of the Dinasaurs Marcus speaks of , but it is us Dinasaurs that have left a true legacy of the passion for collecting to the New generation of Collectors . Sites like this , and particularly this site , brought a lot of Collectors together from around the world . Many are still contributing now and again .. and there is such a wealth of information and History on here . It would only  take a few regular posts from a few members to generate a bit of ongoing interest .
I look back over some of the old posts on here and am amazed at the Quality of the Collections shown . Take the time and go back through the threads .. You won't see it anywhere else .

A couple of old posts .. So worth a look .. and there are so many more

I think the younger generation and also many of us oldies have become so obsessed with their phones that anything else will not do . There seems to be an ongoing issue uploading to this site from mobile devices .. I don't seem to have a problem with my Android devices or my desktop but I understand that it would be frustrating . I am one that has an ongoing presence on Instagram and I find it trouble free and entertaining .
I always look on here in the hope that someone has posted something interesting .

Good work , trying to keep it going Spence 
Cheers .. Chris

 Spence do u mean Instagram or Facebook 

Doesn't help when a post is made & ignored. My cigars advertising piece is a good example. I'm afraid the big Facebook group is the nuts, loads of posts, easy to navigate & share images, & questions answered.  Full marks to my mate Ross trying to drum up support on here, you have my sympathies.

 You've made a good point there, John . Sometimes I think nobody cares it seems , and it's a shame , it has in the past been an interesting website with an excellent archive of pictures .

 I fully agreewith that sentiment , Hinks,it's a problem that has never been addressed properly . That's down to Alex to sort out  , surely it could be updated/ simplified . There's plenty of people grumbled about it in the past .
