Our Forum - input is MASSIVE!

[Wolfracer]

Phenominal postings from us guys compared to some of the other forums, considering our limited market.
I posted a question on another PH forum with a very broad readership, and has had more response than any other single thread on there in the last YEAR! (probably longer but got bored of looking back!)
Point is this HSV forum is alive and very much kicking, lets keep it that way!

yeah half of them are repeats not too much tech info anymore and it would be nice if the moderator made half of the postings on insurance and stuff that keeps resurfacing as an faq

You sound like one of the "Old School" Boys! The "original" posters from back in the day frowned upon the lack of technical postings, new ideas and general mod related postings. The point is and it has been made by many over time, is that there is only so much you can do to a Ro/VXR8, so repeats are inevitable. However with fresh waves of V8 fans coming into the scene every week, they need advice and its the likes of the more experienced owners who should be helping them, repeat or not!
Aus and US sites are full of techie bits - if you want to trawl them, however, do you think this place would be the same without the likes of Mel's banter, the BBQ thread and such? I think not. Need a balance imho and its nice to have a community with character.

i just hope this forum doesnt turn into a "do a search" forum like the rest of PH. Whats new for one may be old for others, the day this turns into a "do a search" rather than someong giving the answer will be a sad day

Would be good to have a technical sticky on here, a lot of guys that do their own stuff on their cars need to have a few stickies to refere too.

I use this forum for my Toyota, and sooooo much info when needed, trouble is when our cars get a bit older, your gonna need the info.

Very real.... massive amounts of very helpfull and friendly guys on that forum, any problem is always dealt with quickly, our cars will one day get older and need attention, forums is the only place that you get the info you need, or take it to a dealer and get ripped off

I don't think anyone wants for the answer to a technical issue if they ask on here.
Personally I like it like this as I learn just as much as the person who has the problem in the first place.
We must be doing something right as this is generally a nice place to spend a few hours catching up and talking shit

[snowwolf]

This forum I am sure is contained enough to have the best of both worlds, "technical & friendship" would be nice to have stickies for "engine/power/mods" "suspension" "hifi" "electrical" having it all contained in the forum would be nice.

I think it's nice that the VXR8s were allowed in here, rather than being banished to the VX part of PH (which seems a little neglected).

There is a lot of chatter on here, but at least it means everyone looks in, so problems get answered quickly.

We are all in the same family of cars and friendship, whatever car you have does not matter at all in my opinion, more the merrier

I think this is one of the best forums on PH if not the best, seems like all the guys and girls that want to own a down under car are real nice normal people, and you can't beat that!!
