The forum makes me sad now

[Royal Tiger]

I told you all already, the Camaro5 veterans moved onto Corvettes or Challengers, not that monstrosity Camaro6.

Someone needs to start a V6 vs V8 or auto vs manual thread.

Someone call my name?

I don't come to the forms very often anymore just cuz I don't feel like anybody wants to hear what new people want to say or talk about.
the overall feeling that I get here is the same that I got on the benzworld forms. Elitists if you don't buy the parts we use on our cars from this brand or this company that somehow makes your car inferior and that you're wasting your time and money. what happened just to the group who wants to modify their car just for the sake of modifying cars not to make any more power or look good to anyone except for the owner.

And then you get into the SS and ZL1 owners a small group of them who feel that if you didn't buy either of those two models and the appropriate options and different badges that came with the different options you could get, your car is crap and we don't want to talk to you, sure I get some people are going to say things like that in jest all in good fun but it really alienates a group of people.

The overall perception that I got from the form is if you have any kind of a question that you want to ask people you need to spend hours upon hours going through thread after thread looking for the answer that you want before you should even bother making a post because that's just wasting all these people's time. to me I think that's just a waste of time. Because were talking about a form that has been around for many many years now and there's so many threads so many posts that it makes it a little bit difficult for newer people to find what they want to even with the search option that there is.

It feels like you're a third wheel in a group of friends you just met who have been talking and laughing about the same inside joke for the last 3 hours that you're never going to get because you weren't around when it started.

Maybe I'm just weird and I don't get any of it. I'm one of those people who just enjoys modifying cars for no reason other than to just do that or to learn something new that I've never known how to do before.

and there's probably plenty of people on here who can point out where I've been an A-hole and said a bunch of stupid stuff to people and made a bunch of stupid posts but I don't really care. I just want to talk to people I just want to talk about the vehicle I'm passionate about that I'm spending all this money and time and investment in for my own pleasure. I would like to bounce ideas off people on what they think about a certain modification or taking parts off their car that nobody would modify and do something weird with them that others would not normally do.

As an example what I've always wanted to do with my car is by another set of steel rims and have them stripped and Polished and just paint the face of the wheels and leaving nice polished lip.
Another example is I'm a huge fan of Mad Max my car is black it's two door why not have side pipes like Mad Max that's pretty stupid and it's pretty pointless as well serves no purpose other than to make your car loud and obnoxious. But I digress

Those are just some of my reasons and I'm sure there's going to be a lot of people disagree with it.

OP I’ll agree that the forum isn’t as active as it used to be, but it is far from dead. There are still a significant number of active threads daily vs. other forums that are dead or dying. If you want to really see what a dying forum is check out g8board.com those poor guys used to be nearly as active as here, but now is so dead I can’t imagine the thread lasting many more years.

[Taylortoons]

I've been on here about a year and enjoy the site. I've learned a few things and have helped out 1 or 2 others. All good by me.

But, I am easily amused and have low expectations so what do I know other than I would never drive an automatic V6 Camaro or one with no mods. Boring cars with boring owners...

[Smokin19]

Did not realize being a "modder" would help with the decline of this forum. I am starting today to strip down everything not stock on my car. Should be down to the frame by nightfall.

[ZEN357]

I'm seeing this trend in alot of forums now.

[lbls1]

Well its no surprise. As we get older we become less current. We are no longer the hottest news in GM, so naturally the traffic will slow some. It happens to the best forums after awhile (ls1tech, z28.com, fbody.com). What's hot today becomes cold and stale tomorrow.

But we are still good IMO. The board is still the hot place to come to. The forum is in great shape IMO.
