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 :D. 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 :)

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!

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 :(

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.:D

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. :rolleyes:

 

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. ;)

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.

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

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!
