As only a small percentage of paid up members actually use the message board then perhaps it will not be a detrimental to the future of the club as it might have been if we were to make it members only.

no, but on the other side this is the quickest way for any paid up member to request assistance / parts / advice etc and a lot of the time that comes from a non paid up member that uses the boards and for their own reasons isn't a member. The club would lose a huge resource pool by privatising the boards.

Also a lot of paid up members come via the board, they get carded, have a look, post maybe two or three times than join, go on rideouts but rarely use the boards.

Closing the boards frm the Dcatisti at large will do far more harm than good ...

That obvioulsy is just my opinion ...
