Re: What up A.F? (Old School Members)
I find that it's best to belong to model specific forums, other than this one, if you want immediate answers. Also it's becoming less and less of a "thing" to post up every day in forums in general. Social media did that. For instance, I belong to no less than six automotive forums. Only one has traffic daily. It's a model specific forum for B Body Mopar's. Very active site. Stay away two days and my in box has 50 replies...... THIS forum? Have not had even ONE reply so far. Not complaining, it's fine, just comparing. I find that the older generation is more likely to belong to forums and post daily, it may be because they don't have the same affinity for FB, Instagram and the rest that younger folks do. The forums ARE their FB etc...

Re: What up A.F? (Old School Members)
I've asked this question before, mostly to the response of crickets but: had Igor, or anyone in his capacity, considered updating/upgrading the forum's software(forum engine)? Coming here from, IE: DriveAccord(dedicated to the repair and general enjoyment of one of Honda's most popular cars ever) is quite the trip back in time, no offense meant. Twenty years, at least.
Just a forum upgrade might triple the traffic and member signup rates here, and boost the knowledge base in the process. I mean, AF already has dozens of sub-forums dedicated to nearly every make of car on roads past and present. We just need to somehow boost activity in them. |

Re: What up A.F? (Old School Members)
And as I responded to your other posts suggesting the same thing, upgrading the engine is not going to change traffic flow. I'm a part of various other forums, all with newer forum formats and they are dying too.

Re: What up A.F? (Old School Members)
i agree with one exception......FBBO ( For B Bodies Only) and the sister sites. Very active forum daily. I just logged in a few minutes ago to find 26 replies to watched threads. And THAT"S a slow day. I am not nearly the top poster and I have like 49,000 something posts.. same in likes and thanks. All day every day with people from around the planet. Stop in.....everyone is welcome. MOPAR rules.

Sorry, allergic to acronyms. Personally, and this may stem from my being a contrarian in nearly every aspect of life(anti daylight saving, anti digital TV, anti electric locks and windows in cars!) since I became of conscience, I'm heading in the opposite direction of everyone when it comes to social media. I'm weaning OFF of it. It's disgusting. Not just because of politics, but because it provides a 'mask' from behind which one can be really nasty toward someone else they disagree with. Me being so thick-headed, I don't think any political posts on Facebook could ever change the way I vote, lol! Frankly, I don't care if I'm the last person left posting here on AF, I'm not migrating to Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Instavomit, or any other such dreck for conversation about my hobbies or interests. |

I did create a Facebook account one time. Just to do some research on someone that was going to be coming to my house to buy parts. I found out the necessary information, looked around for like 5 minutes and decided quickly it wasn't for me. Facebook didn't allow you to delete accounts then so I turned it off. I only looked back once because I got a notification that someone tried to log in. Went in and found where the account could now be deleted and was on there long enough to delete it. I miss the days when, even though the 3000GT/Stealth isn't a common car we had 15-20 people posting daily in the sub-forum. I grew to know people well enough to trade phone numbers. Social media will be the death of society. I will hang on the forums as long as I can.

Re: What up A.F? (Old School Members)
Comments about online social sites making people less responsible for their own behavior is totally correct in my opinion.
What used to get you a punch to the face is often the norm...there are no consequences, and unless someone is very tech savvy, your identity is hidden. We have a generation of people brought up with this technology....and it's not a good thing.
