Who’s still here? Who posts? Who’s new and active? Who’s actually from the 518?

New admins? You guys ready to give this back to the 518?

honesty social media is to blame but censorship is as well.

Lots of forums are struggling with the formation of groups on Facebook and the ease of picture exposure and instant gratification on instagram and twitter.

Lets face it most of us joined car forums for the praise and gratification we receive from fellow members. That comes easier and faster elsewhere now.

AS for the only other things that kept us in places like this it was the camaraderie and that here was censored, to no end and when that dried up so did this forum.

Also true.

Very few forums these days are used as knowledge bases. I’m a moderator on one which is still mostly to the point car/issues discussion as opposed to off the wall BS (I co-moderate the two M sections on [NICOClub.com](http://NICOClub.com)), but a lot of the other forums I’ve visited recently (for my bikes) are more or less just BS.

It also helps to have a host that isn’t offline every 15 minutes.

i think you guys have the wrong impression. also, curious to know about specific examples of censorship…

you guys can do pretty much whatever you want in here and if you want to be moderators in all the non-network sections that would probably be fine too.

I don’t think there is anything you can do man…this place was ‘anything goes’ for a LONG time. I think what drove people away was the whole change in how the site operated…meaning we see all the ‘network’ stuff. Because this site was no longer truly “518”, many people probably left and went to the forums for their specific cars/trucks/bikes, etc.

Also, the whole FB/Social Media thing brought up above is probably not helping.

So vlad sold the site? This place used to have an immense amount of traffic for a local forum. Thats why I cant believe its so dead. I recognize a few names but most of the threads must be something related to this network thing.
