I am experiencing the same issues Brent Lykins is experiencing, and I have been for perhaps a year or more, Bill. His experiences are not outliers or one-off exceptions. This website software has slowly and continuously deteriorated to the point where members have difficulty getting on, let alone reading, posting, or replying to existing posts, and that has increasingly become the rule rather than the exception.

If Brent, the owner, does not want to maintain the site, it is certainly his prerogative; after all, he does own the site. That said, by assuming the ownership posture he has, all he is doing is driving membership to other sites like TalkCobra.com, which does not exhibit any of the operational idiosyncrasies that ClubCobra does and has many of the old Club Cobra members already.

A continued lack of attention to basic maintenance issues that this site needs/requires will only accelerate its final demise, which is sad because it doesn't have to be so. Current events are a wake-up call for Brent. I hope he pays attention. The end is probably closer than he thinks.
