BLUEMOMENT

I'm sorry to see that the VAGB Forum for Albin Vega owners has closed. I realise that it was not used very often. Maybe too many "Lurkers" like me who browsed but didn't post.

I also monitor the forum linked to the Leisure Owners Association (LOA) as my first boat was a twin keeled Leisure 17, and that forum is much busier.

I believe that the main reason is that the LOA covers a range of yachts from 17' to 29' and that the owners of the 17' ers are likely to be first time owners and/or fairly inexperienced and therefore will ask lots of questions and luckily the more experienced provide answers.

By comparison, it unlikely that a 27' Albin Vega will be owned by someone with no prior experience.

It was closed because the man responsible (not me, I'm only the techie) was worried about spam appearing on it . . . and it wasn't used very often. The Yahoo Group is a lot more widely used as it has a lot of US Vega owners posting there.

If enough Vega owners want it I can set up a Vega forum on here - just let me know. In fact, I am more than happy to set up a forum for any owners group or association that thinks it would be used.

You are right about lurkers though - if everyone who read this board made an effort to post it would be a much livelier place.
