Where did everyone go?

Postby Wizeguyrc » Tue Mar 10, 2020 7:54 pm

I’ve not been on here for a few years, but didn’t expect to revisit a ghost town. This place used to be hopping with members posting about their projects. Where did everyone go?

Face Book I ve been told. Quick instant gratification right on your phone.. Not my idea of a good forum . This is still better info.

Still here lurking as always. I think between us northerners being frozen and a lot of people waiting to post as they build up their project we're all just floating around. Facebook can't log projects like the forum can, but between FB and Instagram you can really get a good daily dose of h-bodies.

still here
Photobucket fiasco killed a lot of good build threads.
Facebook and youtube is all some people will bother to look for these days.
I prefer the forum but as you see things are slow here.

tracy not to worry . alot of the menbers are taking the cold months off. all the guys are still here. wait till warm weather and you will see much more activity. facebook cant give what our site has to give. guys may bounce back and forth between the sites but i believe we are the premiere site for h-bodies because of all our great members and the longstanding h-body technology our site contains art peterson

I've been checking daily too, but I don't have much to start a conversation about...especially since my sunbird's been under cover since 2001. I typically reply to threads where I actually have input about a topic, but there have been so few lately. I have such a hard time finding what I'm looking for over there on FB.

Unfortunately, Facebook makes everyone feel they are relevant in an irrelevant world.

I take a peek here every day, good to see some folks coming back that haven't stopped lately. I'm on Facebook but only for the two Cosworth Vega sites. To keep other things from popping up on FB I don't friend anyone. If I get a request I simply send a message back explaining that I'm just there for the two sites, nothing personal.

There are so many H body sites on Facebook now. I guess its' not necessarily a bad thing but it just seems to fragment people away from one main site. Sometimes it seems to be a bit much so you have to select what groups to follow. I would prefer one main site but that's the way it is nowadays.

I prefer this format better than FB.
However we moved to an area that does not have terrestrial internet.
So not around much....not that I've done anything to the car in a few years :mrgreen:
