Welcome and enjoy.
So how come everyone is abandoning TS.net then? Never been there myself.. I'm sure our forum is miles better though 
In all honestly, TSN has gone the way of the dodo recently. When I had my R32 it was a thriving forum with a great community spirit. These days however it's just dead.
I've been a member on a lot of forums (and still am) and TSN is the only one that has really died a death recently. I'm still on Mini2 (after owning a Mini Cooper S Works) and also read the Fiesta and Focus STOC forums (basically because friends have owned those cars). My other main forum at the moment is SELOC as I'm running an Elise at the moment.
However I've gotta say that this forum looked very good and I'm looking forward to posting on here!
