Closing the site down

[Derek Moore]

I remember well up to 2012 when members said we need a site just for diving members.

The RMT could not sanction it.

So, I built this one. Spent a weekend sitting in my underpants eating toast and telling the wife to get lost. Not a pretty sight.

Since then, no one uses the site and it looks like Facebook which I don’t follow has won the day.

I am now semi-retired doing work as and when required and my interest in work and union matters is slowly diminishing as I work towards leaving the industry.

Is it worth leaving the site open or should I just close the site down?

Thoughts please.

Evening shagger. I got home at the end of last month for the last time.....retired now, but will continue with my union stuff. I can honestly say that, over the years, I have found this site both informative and extremely helpful..........

Unfortunately the numbers don't add up.

Too few members warrant the site remining open. The figures show only around a dozen members log in annually so its more bother than its worth keeping it open and administered.

Its another loss for something they asked for and didn't use preferring other media instead.

One option is to leave it open and not administer it until the domain provider shuts it down which I may well do.

On a side note Buster.

I'm enjoying the additional time off, wondered how I managed all those years to fit it all in

Definitely leave it open, a wealth of information that would otherwise be lost....worth its weight in gold.

Trouble is I have to log in regularly to show I am administering the site.

Once I fully retire my time spent doing anything with commercial diving will be over.

I've now retired from my CSWIP position and will be shortly resigning from the HSE board as well.
Ill retire as an auditor for other positions at the end of the year.

Only interest I'll have left in diving is going abroad wearing a SCUBA set and maybe doing some ecology work.
