Cobra & Seawolf Website

[Cobra]

Does anyone have any knowledge as to if and when the Cobra & Seawolf Owners club www.cobra-seawolf.org.uk is going to be bought back to life?

As the former Cobra 850 representative on the site, I am receiving a large number of queries as to what has happened to the site, and sadly at the moment I have no answers!

No idea it is a graveyard - someone should be allowed to take it over and run it with a semblance of interest.

If there is enough interest, I am prepared to act as a co-ordinator to get the Class Association moving again. I cannot guarantee a website...personally I do not have the skills or time to get a half decent site up and running and more importantly kept up to date, but I am sure there are several Cobra or Seawolf owners with the necessary skills!

So...any interest??

I don't have the time at present unfortunately. BoL anyway

Someone somewhere recently said on here that they had set up a forums site with the promise that they would create a forum for any class association, organisation or group who requested it. (No, it wasn't me . . .)

While a forum is not a whole website it is a useful focus . . . or it should be. However . . . I bet you ten to one these new fora will languish unused like so many others. The Vega forum was shut recently due to lack of use, and they have one of the larger associations.

Sites like the Cobra/Seawolf site do well if there is an enthusiast to maintain them - but as soon as that one person goes away the site is doomed to wander unmanned and alone on the seas of cyberspace until someone fails to renew the domain name . . .

Pity really, that was quite a good site.

I would have thought that if anyone is going to run/co-ordinate a class association then a website is the easiest way to do it - make it online only, send newsletters out by e-mail etc and make it truly paperless.

Good luck if you take it on.
