Well done Chris. Please can you PM me details of where the customisations that appear in Google description are taken from. On the Referrer data content I think that is best put on a page visible from the Admin page. If you make it public there are possible GDPR issues.

Now that most people know enough to satisfy their day to day needs, it's going to have to be something really special to grab people's interest and enthuse their contribution. Opening the forum name to encompass other camera users widens the net for sure. How do we hold their interest? I agree with Eric's comment. I also would not like to lose contact with our forum after all these good years and all the friends I have made. How do we continue to hold people's interest, so many old friends are long gone?

I find it very disheartening that the members numbers here are falling but I know some of that is due to the general drop in Nikon users which I have no control over. We also have a well educated group of members who are very proficient. Also that these days I tend to be more closely aligned to different makes even though I still use Nikon but it is not a 'go to' manufacturer for many. Digital has made it easier for the general public to easily publish a spectrum of image quality that is very variable. Smartphones have made everyone a 'just as good as David Bailey' photographer. Quality is not a standard, but something that may arrive! I dont pretend to have the answers but I have to say that the time I spend is limited as I have other things that demand it. Maybe the time has come to ask the question..... Is there anyone out there who wants to take on the ownership and responsibilities of this forum?

Yes, there is a mass email facility on the forum for admins to use - it can send mails to all registered users or you can focus the mail shot as you wish. Inevitably there will be a lot of returned mails not delivered as addresses will have changed over time and you can use that as an opportunity to weed out those people from the register if you want.

I think the sad fact is that forums have become old hat. Far more people (especially younger ones) go to social media to satiate their need to communicate. There are several long standing regular members that have stopped posting. It may be worth asking them why they have stopped. The answers may be predictable.....other interests, no time, stopped photography, know all I need to know... and as such they are hard to counter. But ....nothing new, not very interesting, not much help, boring.... may be worth trying to address. It's clear, when one looks at the views per thread, there are some subjects that prompt more interest than others. Bird photography is the classic example. Even so, with limited exceptions, people just come to look. In fairness, I do the same on other forums. I fear there is little we can do short of introducing a new subject ...new to many people, that those people want to stay and discuss.

OK well we have a year to decide on a rename, as my payments for the domain run out March 2022. We are now paid up also for the hosting and email that is necessary for the sever to notify me of issues, until March 2021. At that point I will need to get ~£100-150 for the domain renewal and ~£45 for purchase of new domain name and further hosting for another year.
