To be... or not to be?

Hi Folks,

I've just been sent a quote to keep this forum and website running for another three years. The cost is in excess of £500.

From my perspective I'm unconvinced that the level of engagement matches the increase in expenditure (which had previously been 40% lower over a three year period).

Number of posts is down on last year, and engagement stats are more or less static.

Forums generally are a medium that have faded into oblivion as new forms of engagement have developed.

I would therefore like to canvas opinion on whether there is enough interest in the forum continuing for it to be worth such investment. I will need to make a decision on this within a fortnight.
