I think I will agree with Malcolm G in #2. On SN in its heyday there was at least two experts on every theme related to historical shipping, and who could debate and explain and draw others to the subject. Without that "critical mass" postings just drop dead after a day of silence. We have got Tomwart, Tim Webb and Spursnut engaging each other on the subject of war at sea, but we have not got Shipbuilder on models or Stephen Card on Marine art, and a number of others with infectious enthusiasm for a specific subject. I think they will eventually arrive here, or else new fresh and energetic blood will arrive. One problem not easy to overcome in this context is of course that much of the original SN membership is now shared with three websites.
