Subaru is a dying brand. It is no longer the exciting rally slag it used to be and I think we are finding that the userbase here is mainly made up of people who joined in the good old days.

Scoobynet is still a good place to be and can be a great source of information and advice. There are some good characters here too, just not as many as back in 2004-2006.

I remember when you could read the top (newest) thread and by the time you had finished reading a couple of posts the thread would be near the bottom of the page because it was that lively.

It was good then ... but times move on I guess?

The scooby isn't selling in any numbers anymore and those who have bought the old ones cannot spell or use a keyboard ... those who do actually do attempt it cannot spell or use grammar.

So, it gets less educated, less challenging ... but I still return and keep the home fires burning.

When you can be threatened with a lifetime ban for discussing Flocking, then the place is on its last legs IMO

Maybe we need to be the new vanguard - taking spelling and grammar to the retarded "General" users that seem to be moving in of late - in the vain (and somewhat slim) hope that one day they'll become like us, intellectual gods! where no subject, challenge or question no matter how impossible goes unanswered....

Either that or change this place to Chavnet

Perhaps, what is putting people off is threads like this..............

The old lags reminiscing about the good 'ol days and how things used to be

These threads have been a constant since I joined.

It's just in the old days they were so much better
