Has facebook killed the forum?

Still have a nosey every other day on here and still use the site for information and enjoy watching project threads. Facebook is good for parts though

I came, I got banned, I came back, I went, I've come back again, bought membership this time! Hell I've even shown with you guys!

It's not just here that is suffering, I know of other sites that are very slow due to having their own issues shall we say. One of which we're trying to get going again, but with the main man saying he can't keep going it could be curtains for a 30+ year old club and that's not what this scene needs.

I think it's not just down to twatbook, which has made things easy access but completely pointless to try and complete a build thread, but I think the Vauxhall scene has splintered into small sections of single models.
Take the Astra, I'm on Aon for my daily, but do I see any old models? No mk1s, mk2s maybe the odd mk3 GSI but mainly mk4s, mk5s, mk6s and probably now mk7s and all of these will be wearing a VXR badge.

We only have to look to the chevettes and clubs like the vx4/90s, we are the next model to go down that route, a hardcore bunch that will try to keep the club and cars in the club going for years to come!

Agreed hosting on a pic site and then transferring on here is soul destroying.I can't believe after all these years there's no alternative.

Another forum i use (the hunting life) aslong as you are a paying member you can upload pics direct from phone or pc no messing around with photobucket makes it alot easyer

Same as Audi sport forum. Upload direct from phone to forum.

I love these threads Times have changed and novas are rarer so are now only understood by true fanatics imo, if you can afford to fix them and run them you'll be on here and Facebook will be your source of parts these days.

We had a laugh years ago at meets when novas were commonplace and you'd pass info on easily as there was plenty kicking about, sadly now people are looking for decent parts which has knocked the prices up.

Tbh I'm glad I don't own one as it must be a mare to run day in day out but l do miss that clutch croak

Facebook has contributed that's a fact

Can't understand why people post stuff to be lost forever on there tho

Much better I think to post on here and have it to look at whenever

Obviously the resident Hitler admin throwing toys out the pram at the sight of a eBay link or a swear word is the other reason

Yoofs can't be arsed to search though. It's easier for them to ask a question (usually the same ones over and over again, day after day) than look back through old threads.

And ebay/swearing has been allowed for a while, catch up
