Andy, thanks for the call and apologies all for the late reply. Been a bit tied up the last week and have extended the date to make the site read only until 9 PM Wednesday 1 April. Regardless though, will try and keep this thread open for a bit longer if people would like to share any thoughts regarding archiving content.

The decision to gradually shut down the site was not a simple one, nor was just just a financial decision. It is also about ensuring members and sponsors needs are addressed in a timely manner. Maintaining the site, not just the front end moderating but also the back end around maintaining the server, backups, software updates, managing security vulnerabilities etc all takes time and effort and deserves a certain responsiveness. There is an opportunity for someone else to make a fresh start for the Honda community in Australia and we have had a pretty good run!
