Why ?

An exodus of many of the longstanding and prolific contributors ?

The forum having been split into sub sections ?

xmas ?

Many of the thread topics could be construed as being either boring or banal (depreciation, conjecture about upcoming models, old topics being repeated by new contributors)

A combination of all the above ? or something different altogether ?

Have we witnessed this forum's halcyon days ?

Does anyone care ? scratchchin

I think everyone's over on the 'prospective GT3 owners thread', arguing with Apolo1 about something or other....

But I agree, it is a lot quieter than before the split.
I spend more time on Plumpers Monthly now.

I get the feeling that most things have been discussed and theres not much left, except the new GT3 of course which is a busy thread.

All the arguments have been done haven't they?

Could be worse someone could be asking:

1. About to buy 996 or Boxster do all the engines fail?
2. Anyone bought a car from HWM?
3. What options should I add to my Cayenne Diesel?
4. etc etc etc

Most subjects been done to death. Plus interesting Porsches are becoming less accesible to the enthusiast who doesn't bank with Coutts or the BOC. Pity really, but suspect that partly explains the exodus. That and the charmless 'know it alls' on here nowadays...

I don't bother much nowadays, since the split. I just click on the main heading and skim through. Miss all the ads and stickies and probably a lot of newer posts.

It's win/lose. I don't waste so much time but I miss out on some threads, I guess.

Same old ste.
Talker uppers, talker downers, pedantic tts wanting to pick fault in people's topics.

Can you tell I love the forum. wink

6 or 7 years ago it was full of friendly banter and proper petrol heads.
Pretty boring these days. I look on when I'm bored at work or travelling somewhere.
