Some time ago, in the earlier days of the mk7 R (the original and best), there were a fair few R owners on this forum, who had made the jump from GTI/GTDs and so were already members of this forum, some long-termers. At one stage there was more mk7 R talk than there was GTI talk, and, imo, at that point the balance had tipped too far towards the R and needed, for the greater good of this forum, to swing back in favour of the GTI/GTD. I can't speak for others but that was the primary reason I decided to participate in VW Rock! even though I didnt like that forum very much at that time. That and the fact that there is a great deal of R specific information and chat to be had on the R specific forum. I expect some others moved over for similar reasons. In short GTI owners were getting bored and pissed off with all the R talk, and they had a point, and now the GTI is the main talk of this forum, as it should be. As this forum is now back weighted towards GTI/GTD owners I expect many mk7 FL buyers/owners make their way directly to the logical place for R talk - VWROC, some have never owned a GTI or GTD so no reason to stop here. Some of us who came from a GTI background are still here because we love the place and the GTI still.
