I agree, it was one of the best parts of scoobynet and it was killed off by moving it all the way down here. A great shame as there was often a lot of very good discussions on other cars and they were usually kept relevant with some benchmarking against scoobys.

Agree, a bit of thoughtless positioning and now this forum is almost extint - used to have ten-times the traffic and now it's reduced to handful of threads from the die-hards.

Let's start a campaign to get it re-instated (or Email Webmaster).

This place now has far too many sub-forums, several year back, the balance was about right imo, but its grown and vecome so spread out now.

Everytime I scroll down here I have to recharge the the batteries on my wireless mouse - not helped since the "jump to" drop down boxes appears and disapears as and when it pleases


A recourse is that one can shrink down the needless forums out the way.

Yeah too many trolls too, that killed it off basicly.

This forum and the now long gone Evo / Autoexpress forum were 2 places I always used to visit for good non biased general performance car chat. It's a shame Scoobynet has gone down the pan. Even the trolls like Mycroft were good fun.

Not me. I suggest we wait and see what works to overthrow the totalitarian regime in Myanmar and then try the same here!


I used to drop in here on every visit and now only came in for the first time in weeks to read the obituary

I did RTM this thread yesterday asking for a comment from the mod team/webmaster. I am sure there will be a response.

IMHO i do not frequent this forum as much as i used to and it is pretty much down to its new position. It may sound a bit dadft but out of site out of mind. It was always one of the first i visited. I do also agree with Janspeed's comment about trolls, that did/does not help either.

The poll is running rather nicely in the NSR section, so if you want it back where it deserves to be make sure you vote. Webby has stated he will move it enough vote in favour.
