Default RIP Scoobynet

Wow! Scoobynet has really died a death hasn't it?

The first page on NSR goes back to the 15th July!!

I remember when there were that many threads that subjects were disappearing onto the second page within half an hour.

If it wasn't for Pete, i think the place would be stagnant

Old Webby did some cracking business selling off the site! Bet he's laughing his ******* off now.

Think as most people on here now aren't Subaru owners anymore, they filter off onto other car Forums.

Plus for me, my life is far busier now, so I don't get chance to get on as much as I used to. And I'm on other car site now too.

I agree, once was one of the top forums of the interweb. Now its a forgotten myth of historic threads with the future head that doesnt include this... Shame

I've had two Imprezas since I first joined this forum. During the times in between getting rid of the first and buying the 2nd I still came on here cause of the number of threads and lively atmos.
Sadly though, just like the Subaru brand, the forum is gradually dying on its **** as former Scooby owners go off to different brands and, let's face it, mature (age). Scoobies aren't what they used to be and neither is the forum but we all can't live in the past, looking back with our rose tinted glasses.

It has lost the community atmosphere.

Muppets and NSR vied for attention back in the day.

Muppets was my favourite but it just seemed to wane into oblivion, now it's been relegated so low down in the index that a lot of members don't even know that it exists.

The five regular forums I am on are all very quite this week

It's called the weather
But if you start a controversial thread it fills up pretty quick
Most people are in the garden / washing car / family activities as we don't get much nice weather in the UK

I think I'm one of the newest "regular" NSR viewer/poster All the new people who sign up go to the General section I suppose.

Is there any actual significance attached to this thread I wonder!
