Seriously... forum is dead/dying

[Danimal]

Sadly, it does feels like an echo chamber at times. I'm often the last person to comment on my posts or in the sub group for days at a time.

However, as a database for old posts/issues/DIYs.... It has been essential on my journey so far. These cars are in the sweet spot for depreciation, so I would think there would be a lot more new comers.

Someone in my area just posted a 2000 S for sale with 115k miles that just passed smog for only $7500.....sort of kicking myself for what I paid last year.....

Don't judge from the dead of winter when many cars are put away for the winter and people have other priorities. Wait till spring and all that deferred maintenance brings people out.

I'm a noob here, I've asked two questions on this site and neither have even been posted.
Disappointed much.

mike, i'd tend to agree with you in that the site definitely ebbs and flows with when people are most-enjoying their cars, but you can just go back and see that the view-to-reply totals just don't support that. It's been dead here (and I hate to say it) ever since Pelican took it over.


I agree with a lot of the other posters' feedback as well (posting attachments/images is reminiscent of 2003 for example...). "HACKER SAFE" when they don't even have an SSL certificate set up. Just little things that all add up to a "we don't really care about the forum" vibe, and I think folks have unfortunately moved on because of it.
