Is C&V just for road bikes????

I'm new to this site and just wonder if I'm wasting my time here.Is C&V a road bike forum?I'd say 80% of the threads pertain to them.When in fact they represent a small cross section of types of C&V bikes.
I don't have any road bikes.I find the seating position uncomfortable and the lightweight wheels and frames flimsy.
I ride only Raleigh and CCM middleweights(one is 60 years old).I commute over 7000 miles a year on them,so you can't say that it can't be done.That was what they were built for.
I also notice that there is no forum for balloon tire,boneshakers,high wheelers,......The TRUE C&V bikes.Maybe something needs to be done about that
