Interesting read
I got my first Subaru 2 1/2 years ago , searched google and joined both forums , I posted a newbie thread on both forums , I think I got about 3 or 4 replys on here and about 20-30 replys on .net , this is the start of sidc's issues in my opinion , I had an occasional look on here for a few weeks but decided .net was the place for me
After being on .net for 2 years I found it had changed for the worse since Eddie (blob eye) took over and eventually got to the point where I asked for my account to be deleted because I was so annoyed how much of a downturn the place took , seemed like a sinking ship to me so I got off
So I started posting on here a bit and went to a couple of runs , found the guys very welcoming and had a great time on the runs but found the forum very quiet and it always seems to be the same few members posting and welcoming new members
I think you get out what you put in and if a few more viewers started posting then I think things would pick up on here pretty quick , things also seem a bit serious on here with talks of bans etc (one of the reasons I left .net) its a car forum and should be a fun place to come on , have a bit banter and a laugh ,tbh I've never met frenchy but I'm scared of her already (I'm joking)
A forum is only as good as its members so if the existing members want a busier forum they need to start posting
Onwards and upwards
