You can almost hear the tumble weeds blowing around here! When I joined up in Jan there were some threads moaning about how quiet it was getting, but now it's like a ghost town.
I check new posts in the morning and barely any change by lunch time. I'm thinking by this time (19.00) there might be something but very little change!
Christ I was a member of a rarer car forum that was always busy. Even the replica lambo forum I go on is sometimes busier than here. Even if it's just mindless banter, that would be something.

There must be many owners who have had a Coupe for 20 years, without meaning to some folks will have become somewhat jaded as they literally have been there, done that and bought the T-shirt +window sticker. Secretly, they are also all very big fans of Facebook.

I hate FB with a passion.
I like the simplicity of forums, where you can easily choose what to read, rather than being bombarded with cr4p on FB.
It is definitely quiet on the forum these days though. Shame really.
I think Jim C must be given an award for keeping a few threads going !

I ditched Facebook a few years back, it was a rolling advert for shite and then a place for attention seeking .

I ditched Facebook a few years back, it was a rolling advert for shite and then a place for attention seeking . I did delete my account for about a year. Then in a fit of madness, I created a new one to share info on the Turin Rally in June... Beginning to regret it though. Not the Turin related stuff.... just getting sucked back in to the black hole.

Not just that but also the lack of forum issues threads.... Over the last 12 months all the naughty boys have been kicked out or bludgeoned into not posting opinions anymore.
Real shame tbh, debate at work is hard come by (mostly women, mostly marketeers and I live in a box these days) and most of my mates carry similar opinions....

We need the following - Jim Clennell (JC) to buy any technology product. Somebody asking what the pointy yellow things on lorries wheels are. A grammar thread with Barnacle and JC discussing tenses, split infinitives and commas. Bockers to start car sharing again. JC having to translate a brochure on any technology product. AndrewR having to interview someone for a job. JC and DanieltheManual to discuss the latest Tory defection to UKIP. samsite999 to buy a wreck and restore it. Jimbo to change his car so we can drool over his latest beast. JC to move into a new house and have issues with windows, drains and anything to do with technology. The return of KP, Shabba, Brewster, etc. etc. On a more serious note, the forum is quieter, but I've noticed this on a number of Forums I post on. As has been pointed out above, other types of social media have taken away a lot of traffic. People will also point the finger at over moderation. I've been on here for more years than I care to remember and there have always been moans about over zealous moderators. However the loss of some 'controversial' posters has meant fewer threads that drag posters in. But what I want more than anything is the return of stan

What are the pointy yellow things on lorry wheels for? And that is the 64 million dollar question. Some say, they are used to locate the whereabouts of the elusive Stan of the forum.

What are the pointy yellow things on lorry wheels for? they're for quickly identifying any nuts that have loosened. Much quicker than manually re torquing the nuts to 600nm daily. I used to mend lorries for a living.I was lying
