The Future of Brakehorsepower
The brakehorsepower.net Forums and the original Morgan Racing website mogsport.net were established many years ago by stalwart Morgan racer Chris Acklam and have proved a very useful and interesting resource for the competition minded fraternity. Many of the topics have generated fascinating historical details and photographs creating a valuable ‘archive’ with details not easily found elsewhere as well as providing space for the current Morgan Only Racing. As a minimum these should be preserved, the contents are an amalgam of contributions from many different sources and would be almost impossible to recreate. I am researching how they may be saved and archived.
However, the usage and number of contributions have dwindled to the point that the Forums are almost dormant and a decision needs to be taken regarding its future.
Chris Administered and paid for the system for most of its life. When he expressed a desire to stand down I volunteered to take up the reins and with it the costs! My own financial contribution runs into hundreds of pounds which I’m now reluctant to continue.
Hence the time has come to decide what’s next – I would welcome your thoughts and comments showing how you feel to help determine the way forward. Whilst I don’t feel I ’own’ the Forums I do feel somewhat responsible for them.
