i used to be on the 306 forum when i had a 1.4 306....where i first met phillipm and a few others.

i agree the other sights full of dirty diesel lovers, boy racers who naff the s**t out their car with lexus lights and numerous newbies asking the same retard questions over n over again.

i came here and never looked back after i finally got a '6'

i have a feeling to fix this problem youll have to go back in time and destroy the top gear episode with the hillclimb and that naff ass peice of s**t p**i mobile. that was the finall nail in the publics eye for the 306's coffin.

I also think Facebook could be a cause of less people being active as there's a lot of groups on there, it's not only this forum which is dead I'm also joined to a local one and have been for a long time but no one has really posted on there for a good month

I've been here for years and when I first joined all of the needed information was already here. Didnt stop me and many others posting again about it though

(I see where you are coming from though mate)

Also, been inspired to update my project thread.. Just doing what I can..

I agree, this was the first forum that I ever joined and I still stick with it despite owning many different cars. I do also join forums for the other cars I have but I don't post, I generally just use them if I have any issues and to find out any info.

As with this forum and many others, threads just get criticised and spammed constantly by people who need to take their frustrations out on the Internet and I can't be bothered with it and all the "newb" bulls**t!

I don't think newbies get pushed out on here any more, in fact I think they are welcomed quite well compared to how it used to be. I've seen new members leave after one or two posts because they were savagely abused for no real reason.

Nothing to see here

I'm new to the forum and I think its great tbh. Obviously being a 'newbie' I don't know how it used to be, but it seems fine to me, always people on here no matter what time I log on, plenty of posting and replies. I've had no hassle or smart remarks to make me think anything bad towards the forum, in fact quite the opposite - some really good lads on here.
I'm still a member of AUDIFANS.NET due to my old car. Not a bad forum, but no where near the level of activity of this one and certainly not the level of humour or diversity and depth of knowledge. Sometimes there would be no posts for weeks!
Some time back now, I owned an Opel Manta, and was, and still am (from time to time) a forum member. Now that forum did nearly stop at one stage, very little use, but as I see now its quite busy again. Why - probably because the cars are getting rarer now.
I know what you mean about the cars having been around a long time and are cheap etc, but I can't tell you the last time I saw a GTI 6 on the road, and although I've only had my Rallye a few weeks, I have had people stare at it - especially in traffic. These cars are not as plentiful as some may think, and as you all know, only 500 Rallye's built - wonder how many are left??
I think the rarer our cars become, the more the forum will be visited and hopefully people will join.

Christ I've bored meself with that little lot!

cheers

My Rallye project thread

I ended up replying to myself for about 10 posts in a row on mine! Thought everyone had lost interest so I used it like a diary instead.

Just so you guys know, i'm subscribed to all your project threads and enjoy the updates, i just don't tend to post unless i've got something useful to add, didnt want to clutter your threads with my useless drivel.

This forum is great, i've met loads of people from here over the years.
But also, thanks to this forum i went and got into trackdays and have now blown countless thousands on my car.

I sometimes read the projects threads just out of interest and I much prefer them when it's mostly the OP who replies otherwise you end up trawling through pages of "car looks great" comments to find the latest updates.

Also I never knew 306oc existed...that's all I have to say about that!
