Sometimes yes.
It's a bit TVR or Caterham driving old man'ish sometimes and, it's very anti-jap cars at times which I find a bit snobish and stupid. But on the whole it has some good diversity of posters.

It has been called scabbynet ever since the forum was changed from its classic theme to the orange one as far as i remember.
Soon it will be called advertnet

Pistonheads is full of c*nts. Some good advice on there from some people, but there's an awful lot of guardian reading do-gooders. That Sapph Cossie thread was a perfect example - some poor sod's lost their life and all they bang on about is how they were to blame... despite the screws glued to the road. I'm sure they're all angelic and they've never been over the national limit.

its called scabbynet on most other car forums i frequent, i don't mind it though as you can have a bit of a pisstake without being overmoderated, yes thats right you want to go on one off the shooting forums and call someone a tit and get a lifetime ban.

I browse it occasionally as it has a Fiat/Alfa section because I'm banned from alfaowners.com. PH seems dead on if not a bit dull compared to here!
Disrespect Scoobynet as much as you like, just don't *** with NSR!

PH is has far too many members who read threads, contributing nothing and only waiting for ran opportunity to put someone down or try to look clever.

People can insult SNet as much as they want, I still say this is the friendliest and most sensibly moderated forum of all the places I frequent. A fine balance of info and help mixed with banter and non-aggressive humour. It's a shame it's dying on its *** these days with less and less traffic as I'd love it to be as it was 5 years ago

Probably a host of reasons. Many people have moved on to different cars either having tired of the scene or maybe the expense of running these cars. They aren't selling in numbers anything like they used to, and as the older cars die there's less replacing them. I must agree with some of what's posted above, that the older cars are often seen looking very undesirable and not enhancing the image of Scoob ownership. Maybe the way we use the net is changing too, with more people wasting time on the likes of Facebook and Twitter.
I know the club I helped found and run for many years changed as new members came in with different ideas about what they wanted to do as a club. We started out with country pub meets and runs in the Dales, and our almost famous Blyton trackdays. Now it's more park up and show events which bore me senseless.
I still say SNet is the best forum I've ever been on, which is why I hang around hoping it gets better, a bit like watching Top Gear. Most other places I visit have a lot of argumentative people whom simply like to berate and belittle people, and over-zealous moderation. I was actually banned from one recently for simply saying that Top Gear fans would stare at a toilet door for an hour if they thought Jeremy Clarkson was the person inside making the noises and smells. They said I was denying people their right to an opinion, which would be correct if I had the power to veto their comments with mod privileges, but what they then did was deny me my right to opinion by banning me. Oh the irony
