hi sorry for absence
hosting went down to lack of funds and had a family funeral so had more important things on

the forum was not getting any action
it was getting a LOT of traffic but bots and spammers were signing up even with captcha and signup form
I was hand deleting 20 pages of spam a day and virtually no-one on this thread bothered signing up or being active so when i get hosting back up i will take forum down and keep main site going so is at least out there
