As an ex-IOMTT forum member, I'd like to share my view:
I recently had a nostalgic look at said forum, and, admittedly, it did sometimes contain unrelated posts, flames, senseless banter and the like, but, nevertheless, it was quite lively most of the year.
Malcolm did a fantastic job by carefully admitting selected members, but now maybe it's time to "lower" the barriers and try attracting some new blood.
I almost never see a post by new visitors to the TT/MGP asking for advice or maybe just requesting confirmation on what can be found on https://www.facebook.com/TTRacesOfficial/ and the like, as I think this community has an incredible wealth of informations available that nobody "outside" the forum is aware of.
