The biggest problem came when people realised that by leaving their information on the forum that they were giving up copyright to the images / information etc to Vertical Scope. Then there was a stripping out of images etc by some very frequent posters - not so much that that killed the forum but it certainly wounded it. It continues to limp on but the footfall must be a shadow of what it was before. Now there seems to be more adverts than content which doesn’t help - previously there was a single banner advert at the top of the page and nothing further down but that became an advert every other post - and worse the adverts were unrelated to the content of the forum much of the time.
