I used to enjoy and read the site a lot more than I do now because, as an earlier poster said, the site has become more and more US centric. The site seemed to start getting more exposure about a year ago in the US and a whole new load of American GCAers arrived (which is a good thing). I think I raised that in the past, and the answer back was 'raise some issues then'.
I take the point, but it's not enjoyable reading through reams of posts on places you haven't played, just to continue discussing the few classic British courses you have. I have interacted a bit with Rich who has a good knowledge of courses in the UK in general (rather than just the classics, which from Loughborough home are not that accessible for anymore than once or twice a year).
On the positive side I have played a fair number of courses that I have read about here first (Apache stronghold, Talking Stick, Riverdale Dunes, Fort Ord etc.). I would not have tracked these places down without this site. I tend to use it more as a travel reference than anything.
I wouldn't have thought that the cost of Internet access is a real reason for people not contributing, it's not that expensive. However, actual access to the internet (i.e. availability and exposure to the internet) may be.
