This forum will be turned off in the next 6 to 12 months

I will be turning off the server that runs this forum in the next 6 to 12 months. 
I run multiple discussion forums on it and since the introduction of Facebook Groups, usage of the forums has steadily decreased. 
The result of this is that revenue from Google ads no longer come close to covering the monthy cost of running the forum.
I can't continue to fund it. Sorry.
This forum has been running for more than 20 years, which is pretty cool!
It will be sad to see it go.
Let me know if you have any questions.

    I'm sorry to hear this, FB groups are going to cause so much erosion of information over time. Thanks so much for continuing to keep this going as long as you did! 
     
    Is there a way to archive all the valuable information on here for the future?

    UPDATE - I have found and implemented a low cost solution for hosting this forum, so there are no longer any plans for shutting it down.

    That's great.  Thank you for keeping it going even though it is quiet.  I had started printing my showroom thread to PDF.
