Not that I'm being a conspiracy theorists
But when you have people who have 30ish and 70 ish posts who publicly announce they are unsubscribing to a particular forum is quite interesting

It still is "very helpful as a communication tool" - and for all sorts of other purposes. If you don't give us some idea of why you decided not to use it any more, then yes, your post "may not go very far". It might also be useful to those in charge in sorting out any issues which you're at variance with. (Or have you already done this, by PM?)
Just trying to help . . . .

The OP makes it sound like the opening statement is now the opposite of how he finds the forum. This seems odd as I certainly cant see it that way. If improvement here is indeed needed then that can only come from us the contributors. It is unhelpful to imply criticism and then give no reason. Sure the forum has its worries most of which come from outside sources , competition from Facebook, uncertainty about the longevity of posted images general apathy even. The thread will go somewhere if the OP can give us cause of his disillusionment.

Absolutely pointless posts, that frankly aren't worth 'going very far'. If you have an issue say what the issue is, suggest improvements. The people who run the forum are volunteers, and I think they do a cracking job. It's a very good place to share ideas, collaborate and discuss previous trips. I'd like to see more contribution from members i.e. more trip reports, photos etc.

If people could keep their shit together and realise that everyone will have different views politically and actually try with reasoned arguments to persuade people the forum (and world in fact) might be a better place.

I think you've hit the nail on the head there - the (now locked) equality and inclusion thread was simply asking for whether anyone had experienced any difficult with inequality/inclusion in caving and how clubs might tackle it. It wasn't saying "Cavers are sexist and old people are the problem. Discuss", but most commenters seemed to take it like that.

Just as a matter of interest, how does one unsubscribe?

I imagine the vast majority of members are not even 'subscribed', so the idea of unsubscribing is a bit odd...
(the exception presumably people who have elected to get email notifications of new replies or similar, if that's an option, which I don't know if it is)

I think if you do delete yourself, all your posts are attributed to "guest," thus removing your name or alias from the forum. If you just don't visit any more, everyone can still see that it was "Tickle me Elmo" who posted whatever he or she did about the seventh entrance to Ogof Draenen...

Quite - and I couldn't find that option when I looked. So I'm still intrigued how the OP has gone 'unsubscribing'.
