After the show season most forums go quiet.

Lots of forums are quiet. It's the time of year. Our cars are filthy, it's too dark after tea to do anything to them, so we've got nothing to tell other people about.

I use a few different forums and most are quiet compared to a few years ago, I don't think it's anything to do with time of year more likely Facebook has taken a lot of people there's groups popping up every five mins on there.

Sometimes people don't want to talk to other people, instead choosing to quietly judge them from behind a computer screen.  :grin:

Jesus wept, just leave if it's that bad Brad.

Mk7 section is crazy busy. Rest of the forum not so much.

Lots of Facebook groups recycling the same pictures all day every day  :grin:

Members starting their own forum and taking people with them.

For me personally and probably a lot of the old crew I made as friends, I have kind of run out of things to talk about. Same car for 9 years, forum has been here for 11.

You get out what you put in though - post new topics, reply to others, easy  :smiley:

It happens every year after the show season. On a personal note though I don't get a lot of replies to my build thread so I'm wondering if it's worth updating it any more...

Mine's the same, but I like to keep updating it for myself anyway, just so there is a record out there of everything I've done.

Likewise, it's always just 2 or 3 people who seem to follow most threads. Completely different to a couple of years ago, and much less active than the build threads on uk-mkivs and ED38

Post by: jamie16v on 30 October 2013, 11:49
I actually like this forum, I am also a member of uk-mkivs but never go on there, I just cant get used to the layout.
I agree that the forum has gone quiet, people do move on from the older cars which is probably why the mk7 section is most popular.
I used to be a member of another forum (wont mention) but the cars are so rare now and most of the cars are in car heaven, so, that forum is dead pretty much. I do visit now and then to say hello to some of the old friends I had there though.  :smiley:
I rarely post on my project thread because I don't have much to show, there is always going to be bigger and better out there that steals the show, not that there`s a show to begin with lol  :whistle:

Yes! Most definitely Yes! I have had my Mk3 for nearly 11 years now and had no real problems with it at all

Most of the old crew are not here anymore JV

Those that made it a fun place to be and meet up with like minded people have either gone or got very grumpy!

Granted but must be at least 4 years since he was around, He was at the centre of some pretty funny banter, and raised a few hackles.

I only joined 7 years ago! but I do remember a lot of people who were regulars and have moved to pastures new (and not all caused by len although most women seem to last a week or two before he gets scares them off)

and I'm sure at least twice a year since I joined there are similar threads to this?

Boney you know very well I have never scared of any genuine women! Some fakes maybe!  :grin:

Some of us still lurk occasionally but post very rarely Len.
I'm with JV, had the same car for 9years so have little to say about it and know how to fix it myself.
I just don't seem to have time for the shows these days, made it to players this year and that was it :(
