Folks,  I have been taking looks at CBF for several months whilst trying to sort a move to Spain.  However I seem to feel the whole site is rather out of date. I see a banner item of Covid, and I see very old posts and virtually no new posts. I guess I am trying to weigh up the value of...

Personally, I'd like to know who you are and why you think,  in more detail, you have the right to challenge an informative forum?

I don't think it's a challenge. It's just a genuine question, from what I can see.

Fwiw, I really like this forum, find it very informative and use it a lot.

But a lot of the site is totally outdated, makes much mention of Covid and frankly, could do with freshening up.

That's the owner's call though and I'm certainly not going to make a big deal out of it.

I'd agree, on the whole.

However, since B****t a lot of the old hands have disappeared and it's become less "interesting", particularly after lunch!! 

Many times you'll see the same questions asked by newcomers who haven't used the search. 

There are unnecessary hangovers from the plague still lurking on the site and it doesn't seem to get as much care and attention as it used to (it was set up by the present owner's mother and I believe and on her passing he inherited it). 

I use it less as I find it less relevant now.
