			<![CDATA[Apologies if this is inappropriate, but I suspect several here, like me, also frequented this forum, which has now sadly closed. <br /><br />A shame, as while greenbuildingforum is excellent, Navitron had a somewhat wider focus to cover topics such as electric vehicles etc. A sad, sad, loss.]]>

			<![CDATA[Shame. I and some others on here, plus some on buildhub, were individually cast out from the Navitron forum a few years ago for whatever offences the moderators smoked that morning. So I have mixed feelings regarding its demise <img src="/newforum/extensions/Vanillacons/smilies/standard/devil.gif" alt=":devil:" title=":devil:" /> It was what got me started on my whole 'green-tinged' journey though, so I do owe it a debt.]]>

			<![CDATA[Navitron being wound up and replaced by another company mainly. It's still there for the moment, but you can't post, and I think it will disappear for good at the end of next month. A major shame that no effort being made to archive the volumes of useful information, although some of the members pointed out that you can download a fairly recent archived version of the forum from Google's (I believe it's caled) Wayback Machine (or something). <br /><br />Yes I've become aware that several people seem to have been banned some years ago! I -think- one moderator in particular may have been on the trigger happy side at the time. I don't think they tended to eject many more recently.]]>

			<![CDATA[I've suggested to members they engage here, as it's fairly close in aims and very active, so maybe some that didn't know about GBF will find a new home. <br /><br />I'm also considering setting up a replacement forum, but I'm not sure it's necessary. While GBF in principle is all about building, in practise a very wide range of renewable and sustainability topics come up here.]]>

			<![CDATA[Some of the Navitron mods set up a replacement forum and were promptly threatened with legal action, if you can believe it, and understandably felt obliged to take it down. <br /><br />Some of the other members have now set up the following:<br /><br /><a href="https://camelot-forum.co.uk/" target="_self" rel="nofollow">https://camelot-forum.co.uk/</a><br /><br />I'd do believe Sir Gareth was an actual knight of the round table so obviously I'll fit right in.]]>
