Sad times if it is I've always enjoyed this site I don't always post but check in regularly to read threads and reviews.

Could it be the facebook effect? A few forums that I frequent, not run off of a business like this one, have in the past year or so, decided that the public interest and post count is down, so they migrate to facebook full time.

Very sad, let's hope someone buys the website and intellectual property and continues to operate including the very useful history of reviews and comments, there is much worth saving

I would be very sorry if this site folds. It is extremely useful but also entertaining. The forum contributors are very civilised and entertaining.

For me, it's not just the forum that I'll miss, but there is a wealth of other information on the site. Hopefully someone will want to save it, but I don't see how the forum would make anyone any money and therefore the axe may fall on this part at least.

Given your car predates the Interweb by at least a decade, I seriously doubt that. :-)

I'll repeat the comment I've just made in the General section:

Sorry - I have been away all day yesterday and this morning, and I haven't been told any more than you have.

The object of an administration is to get a company back on its feet again when it has run into financial difficulties (which I haven't been informed about either, although I do know that advertising revenue is the main source of income). Either a company under administrators (who are chartered accountants) is restructured or (more likely) a buyer of the whole or part of the business is sought.

While the process is going on, a company continues to trade (unlike with a liquidation). So business as usual for the moment.

I have asked HJ for a comment.

Edit - it probably makes more sense to have a single thread for this. Can we now use the one in General.
