Has this got any mileage with the mods? Would be great to have a forum for Audi S/RS owners - would save trawling through the 'My Passat Diesel is down on power - is this normal?' threads...

And VAG is 'quite' a large vehicle group - sales and driven far in excess of Lotus, Minis, American Cars, etc etc...

Not sure there's enough traffic for all those forums but think a separate s/rs forum might be a good shout.

True, but I think there's enough to justify the following maybe?

VAG
VW/Seat/Skoda
Audi
Audi S/RS

Well to be fair, the BMW section does have a seperate M section

Any new forums have to have sufficient demand, otherwise we run the risk of splitting the traffic too much and killing off the existing forum.

As it is the VW/Audi forum is quite slow moving, so I'm not sure we want to split it any further at the moment.

We are looking to tidy up the forums in the near future though and we will be looking at the VAG forums as part of this and if the changes manage to create an increase in traffic then we can look at adding an S/RS forum at a later date

Maybe move Porsche to the VAG area?

We will be taking a look at it and trying to revive it, although driving traffic to a forum can be a difficult task.

The problem at the moment though is the chaff in the VW/Audi forum that you have to wade through to get something related to your area of interest. Someone who owns a VW Polo doesn't want to wade through loads of posts about Audi's and vice versa...

The BMW M posts got a lot more prolific when owners of M cars could got to a specific forum and read or input immediately.

I'm sure the same would happen with Audi S/RS and the other VW brands too.
