Where is everyone?

Well I stopped as I am not a fan of being ridiculed

If this is a problem, then maybe the moderators should step up. At the top of the page under rules it says " no antisocial posts. They will be edited or deleted mercilessly"
A couple of things that disappoints me is when members go to the trouble to find an answer to a question & type in a detailed reply & there is no thank you.
Second gripe is when there is a lengthy thread on a problem & when the OP gets a result, he/she disappears without reposting leaving the rest of us wondering if the advice given was helpful.
Both of these problems for me are a reflection of our society, not much give but plenty of take.
Overall this forum is great & I have learned a lot from others experiences & knowledge.

Yeah I too miss "the old days" but the reality is all forums seem to have their lifecycle, I've found this on a few past ones now. I think there are always harsh posts from certain people, but when there are big numbers they kind of get drowned out. When numbers drop, the tools stand out more. The other factor is most people have moved on and upgraded from "the old days" and gone to better brands such as Audi etc, so I guess it's up to the new blood who are buying into VW currently to rev things up a bit.

For me personally I don't have the time and disposable cash currently to do mods and create build threads, and that is something I'm currently missing big-time. Still all things change, it's the way of the world.

I check for posts every day but I don't have much to say.

Got my wife's 2015 Polo GTI serviced yesterday (30,000kms) and it cost $389. Long gone are the days of the <$300 service.

2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel 110,000km log book service last Saturday morning - $200.20. But then I refuse to use dealerships for servicing.

This forum used to be so active! Where's everyone gone?

Well I stopped as I am not a fan of being ridiculed... we all ask stupid questions and say silly things, but being ridiculed isn't fun... the tone of some of the replies are getting ruder by the day.... it's off putting as this was a great forum...

I've learnt so much from others on this forum that are specific to the many mods. done on my current and prior VW. Thank you very much to those members.

For this reason I feel I 'owe it' to share what I have learnt along the way which is what I sometimes try to do. You need to be 'thick skinned' on this forum and ignore the fact you sometimes do not get any thanks and sometimes you just get smart arse and dumb replies from posters who probably never help anyone.

I've found the vast majority of members to be polite and well meaning. Much more so than most other forums.
I've learnt a lot from other members.
Have met quite a few over the years to assist with coding, retrofit etc and have not met one yet that wasn't cool.
I also prefer the forum structure to the free-form nature of facebook.
I'm on here multiple times a day and try to assist where I can or point people to those much more knowledgeable and skilled than me.
If anyone is being difficult report them to a mod. Moderators don't read every post.
