this forum need to fix up
« on: 26 August 2016, 10:59 »
as the title says. all the posts have many views but hardly any replies..its a shame..the facebook page is WAY more helpful than this forum. you get instant replies. on here you might not even get one and when you do..it will take 24hours maybe more..maybe its just the mk6 side?

I agree people view and don't reply. Not sure about Facebook since I don't have it...!

Maybe people just don't know the answer lol but having been on this forum for a year I noticed there are maybe 4 or 5 active members who do post often to help others

Kind of self-fixing this. Start more threads yourself, reply to other people :)

As Damian says above, it's not just this forum that's changed.  Same can be said of almost all forums, however I think they still have their place as knowledge bases.

Ive looked on the FB page and cant seem to find any member posts? Just what the page has posted its self? Would like to find a really active GTI community.

Most of the people that made the Mk6 section busy have moved on to Mk7's. People may view posts, but if they have nothing to say on the topic, there's no reason to reply.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

I agree dubber36, and many of those people would have been the more active Mk6 members when they owned their Mk6's. That's why it seems quite quiet in the Mk6 section compared to a couple of years ago.

I'm no longer a Mk6 owner. I do still visit most days though, and if I've anything I feel is useful or relevant to say, I'll contribute. I also contribute in the Mk7 section as you do, although I'm not a Mk7 owner either; still VW though.
