weeksy, in answer to you, - I think there are a couple of other reasons. One is time of year, it is always quiet around this time, the other and I think most likely is the speed and reliabilty of the board. It has got to be a pain to post something, - so understandably a lot of people are put off. The good news is that it will change soon, - agreed in principal yesterday, just subject to a bit of a company search on the ISP.
It was getting a bit non Ducati which is why i started anew section, and then it all went wrong when i lost the old one!! I think we (Eamonn, as I am not going near that bit again), might put the non DSC chat to the bottom of the page, as in reality it is not what this site is about.
