As some of you might know Mark set up the forum to encourage free speech and innovation. Something that was singularly lacking in the existing alternative. You may also know that he has considerable family commitments and that one of his daughters is very ill.
He asked me to post this.
“The Forum has moved to a company called Group Builder that runs other beekeeping fora in the USA as well as fora on poultry, homebrew etc in the U.K.
After 12 years of running the forum I felt I needed to move it forward with a way of making it mobile compliant.
Rather than let the forum die without major changes and cost I have handed it over to this company who appear to know what they are doing and have put it in a contract to me that they will never advertise or show adverts to members.
Without major investment I could see no other way forward.
The cost of hosting and making the forum mobile and EU compliant was going to cripple me in both time and money.
With the current family on going health problems I think I have made the best decision for the forums future and it's members.
Thank you for all the support you have given me and the forum and I hope you stay to make it a better and, more importantly, the unique place it was always intended to be.
Mark.“
