After returning to AVD from a break of a few years, I cant help but notice the lack of activity. Each time I return from a break there is even less activity.

Where did every one go?

Probably out looking for you.

some new shite FB

most of them wandered in to the desert

I reckon it is "slowly" coming back
Definitely down a few years ago
Can remember when some nights there would be 2 dozen in the "chat room"

Reckon one of the main things is when we first fired up some 15 odd hears ago you could buy a decent bug for $1500 or kombi for $4k

Young / non rich people could buy one and have a crack. Ask a question. Not the case any more.

Every second question on STF, SBO, AVD etc was what exhaust, how do I jet my IDF's, what cam should I use.
people getting there hands really dirty

Now it is where can I buy a new motor from

If they want knowledge they come on here

if they want crap go to FB.

Also found starting threads or editing them is becoming difficult/frustrating.
Put up thread title, enter message, hit the post icon and get told I have to enter subject and message - like I just spent an hour putting details in as selling my Type3 = what is going on. Pictures ok limit of 3 per post BUT it posts every picture twice so you have to go back in and delete the duplicated pictures So thread can not be posted.

Hoping an Administrator or Moderator can enlighten me as to why.

Relevant bump. I've missed this place
