Branners Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 jumped the gun on this folks, assumed this would descend in to a fight, but others tell me it wont. So opened it up again. Apologies to Axle for jumping the gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty71 Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 I'm only a relatively recent member and have noticed a decline in usage/postings already since March. 908 posts in 7 weeks NOS lol no I think you have upped them yourself . On a serious note I have notice higher numbers online at some points (members and guests) over the last two weeks to when I first joined 7 months ago. The banter and the serious posts still flow and is THE best forum I have been involved in and met some ace people as well Just my 2 pence worth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOS Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Its summer....everybodys out driving and cleaning their cars:) True. The weather here in Ireland is really bad so that explains it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraAyf Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 No problems from me - I'm still loving it. If the old timers leave then I would probably have a change of heart as it's the oldies that make this place IMO;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 I don't think so, Axle are you talking activity levels or more of a feeling? I'm on here the same amount, and the thought hadn't crossed my mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 It's sad to see but it could be due to the cars age and price now, to many youths that don't care about them much are managing to get hold of them easier, and the members that have been on here a few years as a regular moving on to newer cars/ pissed off with the rise of chav's joining?! Just my take on it of course, but could just be down to the weather, it's nice and sunny outside, who'd want to sit in front of a pc when they can be out enjoying the weather!

Terminator Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 I would guess that when ever the weather gets reasonable, we all have better things to do that sit in side on a forum. I am sure the mods have access to stats, but I would think posting is highest in winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanisLupus Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Summer hole ^^ It's like that on every Car forum i'm in ATM. A little less posts because of the activity outdoors and the heat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 I've been out all day working on the car & driving it, the weather will play a part in forum activity when it's hot, but the general forum feel (helping each other for free etc) is as good as ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 All seems good to me, we did seem to have a sudden influx of chavs a few weeks back but that seems to have calmed down now. Great forum imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil-NA Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Still loving the forum, always something on here to cheer me up if i'm having a bad day Only thing that gets a bit depressing at times is when one of the 'special' cars goes up for sale. When they get shipped abroad its like part of the forum has died Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyP Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Haven't noticed a drop in usage of the forum but there has definitely been a noticable drop in the quality of some of the recent threads. You know who you are;) I do think that some of the mods do seem to be a bit trigger happy these days. No names , no ban. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foggy147 Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 I think it's a great forum lots of top helpful people on here and it's definately reassuring knowing that if anything goes wrong with your pride and joy there will more than likely always be someone willing to help out.

TonyP Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 What I do love about this place is you can ask anything, absolutely anything and someone will know the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcgoo Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 I'm not a big poster but am on here everyday reading and taking most of it in. :)I think its a great forum, very entertaining along with still being very informative. There is a good mix of characters some I like and some I don't particularly but hey, that's life. I can't compare it to any other forums because I'm not a member of any others, but that probably says a bit about this place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin J Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 I'd certainly hope not. I haven't been here a long time but I've learned a fair bit (and got my car via here). I like the variety of threads that pop up, and there's always something that makes me smile when I come on here. I can also see the flip side of the coin - a lot of the longer standing members may have sold their cars and moved onto other things by now, but I'd like to hope they still enjoy coming on here and staying a part of the community - Michael and Tannhauser for two recent examples. There's also a great amount of club spirit, like the recent help given to Lee and the tons of free parts (and advice) available. I've gotten some great advice from people like Nic and Stonkin. Just another great benefit of being - and staying - around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraD06 Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 I love it here. As its already been said, you can post all manner of questions on here, and their are so many people from all types of background or the fact that so many people on here are clued up about these cars that you stand a good chance of getting an answer. I realy do enjoy popping on here after work aswell, just checking what's been going on with some of the upcoming projects, daily events, and just general chit chat. Plus their are some real funny folk on here that have me in stitches. All in all a great forum and a great place to just chill out and just chat, learn, wind each other up, and share information about love, life and the same common interest. Good times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdistc Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 For what it's worth, I think that all Supra forums have hit their peak and are in a state of slow decline - obviously the US is still very strong due to sheer numbers, but it's been very noticeable in Australia over the past few years in terms of the number and quality of technical and project threads. Here (UK) is somewhere in the middle, but we're still affected by the increasing age and decreasing price of these cars which means that more people can buy them but who cannot afford to properly maintain them. However, there are still some cracking project threads popping up every now and then that I'm hanging on every update for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Just had a look and we have about half the currently viewing active members the US does, not bad for the size of country I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
