forums quiet,or getting quieter

[petet16]

As stated in the above posts, all forums are quieter these days, the RT forums used to be buzzing, but are virtually dead now, all the good info is still there though.
One thing I have noticed on the faceache groups is the amount of duff info that gets posted compared to the good stuff available on the forums.

Agree with all the above about facebook groups frequently see questions about coolant/head gaskets, induction, kv6 manifolds when all the info can be found with some patient searching of the forums. Although I'm fairly new to this forum I find it's a better resource for info and feedback than facebook. The increasing domination of social media continues...

For me this was always on the cards but the saving grace for us is that there are a couple of tight groups around us that have became personal friends through the forum and for me that is the reason why this site will have a bit of longevity than many other single model forums.

Maybe we should promote a few more meets, I know we dont get a big turn out but it would grow. Specially if we promoted them of F/B.

Same old story though, petrol costs, just finding the time.

All make it difficult.

If I see anything on F/B I try and post up one of our replies, keeps theMGZS.co.uk in front of new owners that may not know of us.

As they say, "use it or lose it."

yeah i can see that it gets quieter in summer,prefer logging in here,rather than facebook,this sites always my first click lol,ive learned a hell of a lot off this forum,with doing stuff,and met a lot of good friends,who are fairly local aswell.
us scottish guys need to get a wee meet on the go soon,and blair,we need to get the track car going again,it all takes time and money,but glad to be part of this forum as its a good one.

I left most of the Facebook groups as they were just annoying me in the end, my news feed was filling up with rubbish. I much prefer a forum where I can pick and choose what I look at.

I always hit new posts when I log in, but unless I have anything real to add I dont tend to comment ' for the sake of it'

I have turned off the 'following' options on the faceache groups, as got fed up of the ***** they generate, and the repeated and often incorrect responses.

I'll scan through the posts most days to see if there is anything I care about though!

And more meets would be good, but as ever with a group as diverse as we are location wise, finding a time/place to get people there is always going to be difficult.

Not sure how to generate more traffic, but most of us are either finished projects, still going on them slowly, or sold up, so not much 'new' things to add

I'll be down in Sussex in September could throw together some sort of seaside meet for those of us down south.

Always good to meet up and get to know, whos, who.

I am on here every day - most days there's a fair few threads with updates on them. New members still signing up and a fair few of us who don't even have a ZS any more coming on and giving our input.

Everything has a shelf life, but, in my opinion we have a good while to go before we reach our sell by date ...
