Future of TT Website (By Malcolm when taken ill in 2021)
It is with very much regret that I make this post.
Due to my present and ongoing health issues, I find myself in a situation where I face daily difficulties in signing in and reviewing the Forum as and when I have always been used to, making posts on many aspects of our sport.
Therefore any posts that I can make in the near to middle term future will cease when the Server Management Agreement expires, and the complete TTwebsite data and historical information will no longer be on view to the public and therefore the site will be closed down in its entirety.
Whether it comes back in a different format remains to be seen.
I sincerely regret having to make this decision, as the site since it's inception in 2000 has been brought to people worldwide providing news and views on many aspects of our sport.
However, my health has to come first and in the very near future, I will become somewhat incapacitated with very little to no access to the Forum etc....
Thank you all for your support over the years as I really do appreciate it.
Sadly with many regrets on having to arrive at this decision,
Malcolm.

I don't like social media so belong to very few but this has been one of them for the last few years. I have run my own forum elsewhere for the last seventeen years so understand the work and dedication you have put into it and I thank you.
Could a whip-around be organised amongst the members to, at least, keep the URL and hosting alive in the hope that another administrator could be found? I cannot offer myself at present as I am 74 and fighting my own health battle.
I wish you all the best,
Chris
Hi Chris,
I will of course be retaining ownership of the names I have related to the TT including TTwebsite, as I am already thinking of perhaps coming back in the future (health permitting of course), to maybe try a fresh approach to what I have done over the years.
The entire website will be downloaded onto a separate External Hard drive in order to retain all of the historical facts and photographs etc, collected over the years.
Who knows what the future holds ? So let's just say, I am not giving up, merely taking a holiday away from it all, to concentrate on my health for a wee while.
Take care all of you, and once again I thank you all for the comments and support over the years,
Sincerely,
Malcolm
