First thanks Tim for the heads-up on this.
The forum is a wonderful thing. Thanks Robert for your time, effort and money.
It would be very sad if it is allowed to fade away and I hope someone has the dedication to take over from Robert and keep it alive.

If there is no-one who will do it, can we at least keep an archive?

I am a member of several internet 'groups', hosted by Google and Yahoo.

These groups are a poor substitute for a proper forum as Robert has created and maintained but they do require a lot less time and effort and no financial input is required.

If biofuelsforum.com cannot be saved then could the archive be put into a google or yahoo group?

A while back I applied to yahoo and started a group which I called SVO_users
I haven't done anything with it so far.
If biofuelsforum.com cannot be saved then I would be happy for the SVO Users sub forum to go there. I don't know much about these things but if anyone wants to join the group they can
