James was very upset at exchanges between members and the constant battle to prevent the 'Wam getting sued. Evidently there was a very heated argument about swearing (I think) and James decided to pull the plug.
Although I much prefer AOS there was lots of nice, knowlegable people on the 'Wam who, I hope, will migrate to AOS. Anything Marco and the mods can do to encourage them should be applauded.

Re the comment on Scalford. Its a bloody long way for me (and half the country). If AOS did a show it should be Midlands or Birmingham area.

It's a sad day, Wigwam has been an institution and I've always had great times chatting with some of the chaps over there at Scalford the last three years. Competition is good for all of us. Any ex-Wammers with an affinity for what AOS is about will be more than welcome here of course, it would be nice if the circumstances were different though.
All the best to James, I'm sure it was a difficult decision to make, but sometimes family, home and sanity must take priority.
