I'm tidying up the forums a bit It's been a while since I've stepped back and took a look at the forums which are being used etc.
The Plumbers Arms and Gas forums are all now public, but you won't be able to post in them without meeting the usual criteria.
Private Forums detract posting from the normal forums which Google 'crawls' and then indexes. The more threads we have out of the eyes of Google the less chance we have of new members coming aboard.
I've made this change across the network, not just here.
Thanks for understanding.
