I totally get your point Aaron, but I think it's partly coincidental that numbers have dropped.

Some people for example were simply here to break cars and sell the spares, however in recent times prices have fallen through the floor, so there's little point in doing that anymore etc.

The main people here are mainly people who are using the info already here to create projects etc rather than working on the actual model this forum caters for. I think this forum has a few years left in it yet, but eventually it will die I'm sure as less and less of these cars are in existence.

There is still a high demand for engines for 205 conversions etc, but sadly I think this is where the main bulk of this forum now has to cater for as opposed to the once great place it was when the cars were still relatively new and worth a lot of money.

People, including myself have spent thousands over the years when these cars were worth thousands themselves. Now they're only worth a few hundred quid in most cases people are understandably reluctant to spend a lot of money on mods etc, and that's why the forum has gone quieter over time. Plus as I've said previously, people move on (and then strangely come back ) so that's adding to departing numbers.

Me too. Mainly because I hugely dislike new cars. I wanna get my mate to finish his 4.2litre eaton supercharged Opal Manta. Thats the way to do it!

Not only that, all the new cars I've driven have been big lumbering hunks of plastic with zero character and a huge outlay.

Whilst I don't really have the time to get into another epic "dying forum" thread, is there literally no chance of a consideration? Because to not do so is quite simply saying "we're going to sit it out and grab the money until it inevitably dies".

I know fewer and fewer people own these cars now, but if it were free then people would still hang around to chat and offer advice, but no-one's going to pay for that. Look at the amount of chat on the likes of Pistonheads, MLR, ScoobyNet etc which has nothing to do with cars whatsoever, it's just people using it to chat.

People using site = advertising hits = profit
No-one using site = no advertising hits = no profit

Just my 2p. Shame to see it being allowed to die so that Ash can buy himself a fancy hairdo every now and again, that's all. I'm not going to cry about it, not sure Ash and I have ever really understood each other.

Please make that more gloomy. Requiem-For-A-Dream levels of dispair would be wonderful.

Okay I admit it's not a real photo and may have been doctored since the original.
