I leave a 986forum tab open pretty much anytime I'm on any of my computers.

Hello everyone,

Kirk, I think you have a great point ... people are buying less cars (especially those considered to be a 'luxury' such as a Porsche) and that makes less traffic here. Combine that with many of us holding onto our wallets and therefore spending less on Mods for the time being there is less going on. It is true that almost everything one can do with the Boxster is relatively expensive unless DIY.

I know I am on here all the time. I would like to thank Brucelee & Rkwei for running such an informative and classy forum in general as well as to everyone else who helps others with their questions, comments, or anything inbetween. I find the discussions, threads and information to be handy and interesting. I haven't noticed the site slow down at all personally ... so it's all good here.

& thanks for voting!

I don't know if the economy theory comes into play with this forum. The majority of the posting is done by the same 20 or so members.

I've been on forums for a while, and they have cycles of popularity, and periods of lapses. I myself had a hard time selecting an answer for this survey because sometimes I post/check the site multiple times a day and sometimes I go a week without wondering what's going on here.

Ebb and flow.

I look a couple of times a day but don't post much.
I am new to the Porsche world and am learning as much as I can.

I'm normally on twice a day. Almost always eat lunch at my desk and read a Porsche site or two. I'll also get check again at home after dinner while listening to the TV financial network talking heads.

i like this forum lot, its been a great experience and met and chatted with a lot of people, but like Jeph said, its weird that sometimes i would post all the time, and sometime not at all or long long periods of time.

I look at the threads every day, and watch replies daily through email receipt.

But I never touch. I promise. :dance:

My wife once said I enjoy the forum more than my boxster.

That's partially true. This forum has never cost me thousands of dollars in repairs... but it has cost me thousands in mod envy I guess.
