The LCGB see the forum as a benefit to paying members and
not a ban on anyone who's not a member.
I always wonder WHO the LCGB is, when people say 'the LCGB this' and 'the LCGB that' etc...?
More specifically, it is a club of some 5/6000 (ish) members, now I've no idea how many of those actually attend LCGB events, let alone how many people run the club and are committee members etc. So who/what are 'the LCGB'... it's quite a broad term.
Personally, I was really pleased when 'the LCGB' decided the forum was a benefit only to paying members and
not anyone who's not a member, as it meant Scooterotica membership rocketed. Being the then co-owner, that was great. Now, it doesn't matter to me either way. But as an observer, I'd be interested in how many people actually were responsible for that decision (ie - was it say 25 out of 6000?) because, in my humble opinion, it did nothing at all to disprove the elitist reputation which the LCGB seem to be constantly accused of.
Plus...how many years had the forum run up until this 'paying members only' rule became the new standard? It certainly seemed more open, welcome and inviting up until that point.
Still, not my concern really, just an interesting observation.
