I still visit daily, but now only spend a few minutes looking at threads where before I would spend hours.

I miss my 2010 SS and hope to get back in a Camaro someday, when it's more practical. Looking at the current prices though I'll probably have to pick up a low mileage used one! Back when a 2SS was 35K it made sense, now at 44K it just seems a bit much.

I sure am glad I don't need a truck, because I don't need that house payment!!

I still feel like 2010 was just a year or two ago...

I enjoy my Camaro and find new ways to keep ‘engaged’. Many of us enjoyed reading about other members adventures — always a great read. Seemed to really come to a head when COTW stopped for our 5th Gen.

I visit other forums too and they all have the same issue, same few folks posting. ModernCamaro is a prime example. Practically dead with little discussion/debate. Happens... ls1tech is still going strong however, it’s more than gen5 Camaro5

Not a fan of Facebook but, sometimes you gotta go there (businesses are on there so...;o)

CamaroFest is around the corner, so something to look forward to... Some of us will be hanging around for a while ;o)

I can't make any promises about this, but I'm in discussions with one of the mods about bringing something like this back. To help breathe some life back into camaro5.

This is when you know a forums good at it's job... When you have people that don't even own a Camaro sticking around... Nice to still have you buddy.

I’m on everyday but it’s definitely slowed down just like a product’s life cycle that’s in it’s maturity phase, but besides the redundant posts due to new 2nd hand owners I find there’s always something new and folks willing to share there knowledge and experience. Sure do miss The Stig and Apex Chase though

I’m still here too. I’ve met some really cool people on this site. I miss how active it was too. I still buy and sell from time to time. Maybe this post will spark peoples interest again. Cant wait for Camarofest.

I truly & sincerely miss those days.

Yeah, I'm here everyday, it was fun looking at all the cool mods people could come up with. It seems that a lot of people have moved on, and it has slowed down significantly.

I check in pretty much every day, looking for that nugget of info or good sale, even though I discontinued my build thread. Good for buying/selling or getting ideas. Would be great if we could get a set of new mods who are 5th gen owners/enthusiasts.

The people with character left the forum or got tired of the constant attitude by the mods and admin. Bowtiebelle, Austin James, etc.

Sarah (Bowtiebelle) was actually good friends with the mods. Unfortunately, she's no longer with us. I don't want people spreading false rumors about her. She was very active in the Camaro forum, just pursued other ventures when she moved to Florida and didn't have as much time for Camaro5.
