Other forums tend to rely more on the fun & social side of RC where racechat has more focus on keeping things serious for which the site has to be applauded, however sometimes people take it too serious.

However now with the new BRCA website being launched & a more interactive website from the BRCA coming along i do feel that Racechat's days are probably numbered as the BRCA site will become the hub instead, which is probably why Rob wants to sell it because he has taken it as far as he can.

All i can say is i wish Rob well in what he does next & hope he finds a buyer who has the insight to take the site forwards (perhaps the BRCA would be the best buyers for it), keep it serious but not turn it into a dictatorship or so the site becomes some sort of fascist regime.
