NSR bored them to death with 'stomach watch', 'how inept can I be today' and 'a dog barked at me funny I'm traumatised' threads :p

I've been a member here for 4 years, took a break for the last year, and now i'm back in another Scooby, so back on Snet!


Is it me, or is there less people on Snet then there has been in the past 4 years?

Seems to be less threads, less banter, less fun!


Also, Where is Fat-Thomas?!?!?! I miss his wit and sense of humor!!!

As said most forums have sadly died. Fat thomas etc have also gone. Just idiots like trinity that try take there place but cant and look complete cocks in process and dont have a clue about technical issues be it mapping,suspension,track set ups etc so if you look in serious topics the good helpful people still here

And as if by magic one of tubbs pathetic clagnuts turns up to lower the tone, sad thing is you're a reasonably intelligent bloke yet you feel the need to hang off the arse of idiots and make posts like that.

Well done, I'm sure your mentor would be proud of you. :thumb:

The community feel is pretty much non existent on snet now, most of the decent fellas have moved on to other marques, dont post anymore or post elsewhere. I barely post myself now and at some point will probably stop posting completely too

Fat Thomas /tubby

Love them or most people hated them but they were the masters of scoobynet who could get ten pagers with their rantings have all disspaeared

They made scoobynet fun

We don't get any dump valves threads any more 2 years ago wE used to get them weekly Never seen them for months and were always good for a five pager

I've been in for nearly 15 years now and have witnessed the scooby scene dying
After the 09 modles and the 2.5 engines going pop look at the hundreds of pages of engine problems who is honestly going to buy another Subaru again ?

There is a handful of new shaped STi on the road which are a great car but memories are long ( mine included ) and would you want to pay 30k for a car with a three year warrenty and wonder if the engine will fail ?

The whole network is disapearing to just some hard core people left

I ran the NBO for 11 years and got 300-400 cars at every show and people lived for that show

When CS made me resign they have had 100-120 at the last two shows Which shows the ownership and enthususm is going down Fast

The club scene is failing
TTS had disappeared ( we used to get 60 cars turn up at the monthly meetings
CS has 5/6 members left
Darlington club dissapeared
dumfries club disspaeared
NESF have very few members turn up at meetings
That just the clubs that were in my area

We have bucked the trend at B-SPOC woth 18/25 cars turning up at our meetings as my friend martin decided diversification is the future with 40 % subaru owners in the club and the rest a mixture if sports and performance cars as people's cars change but they still want to be part of a club we are a very successful club

There is no runs left anymore Rob and myself could get 30/50 cars on the cumbrian runs
Now there is none or meetings

Forums
There is only a few left
Scottish scoobs is busy
Lads forum is still active
All the others I visited have just 2/3 posts a week if your lucky

Facebook has killed most forums as you can easliy access them from your smart phone and post photos with just one click as witnessed by the very active north east Subaru owners club pages with 20/30 posts per day with car pictures which makes a very good page and instant messages

There is probably nothing left to talk about Subaru wise
Like when your married for 20 years you run put of things to talk about :D

Modifications have all been done and discussed
There is nothing To aim for in the future like saving up for a new Sti or replacement car as the 09 + are ticking time bombs unless forged
No club structure left

People have moved on to expensive performance cars or had families and got sensible cars


The chav element has ruined Subaru symbolised by the drug dealer Callum on coronation street and cars are worth more in bits then complete

So grim reading for the scene but there is a few hardcore ones left
Fighting the rust in their classics and renovating and preserving them
Every show I take my Greenwagon people come up and talk about them and talk about the past .

They will go up in value like the cosworths /RS as collectors cars of the future as they get rare I only ever see a handful on the roads now and they tend to be weekend cars

I'm afraid this forum like the scene is dying but it was great in its hayday


pretty much spot on mate.
I have been on here long enough to have seen all the comings and goings and like a lot of people don't post as much. Some of it down to not wanting to get involved on a site that just spent its time arguing with itself :)

or

Moved onto other sites for advice.

I still come on here as I have a scooby and need help every now and then but would i still join in if I didn't ? Years ago I would have, but now mmmm :wonder:

Post count has slowed as well but I am about to hit a round number soon :D

Why has the subaru community on here died........ ^^^^^^^^^^^^

Need I say more.

When owners of a marque I love spell the word 'serious' like the helmet above has then I know it's time to move on from here.....

very little discussion about Subaru infact.

It's a sad fact that posts on SNET now rarely centre around the car/brand, unless it's a 'What's my car worth' query.
It's much more likely you'll find pages of discussion about people, minor personal injuries, politics, or animals.

Apart from that, SNETlife is good-ish :thumb:

Of course there are 'characters' that we could well do without, eh Banny? ;)

ditchmyster 11 September 2015 01:33 PM

I think a fair few of the old guard are still around, they just lurk and PM as opposed to posting these days. ;)

Brun 11 September 2015 05:44 PM

What qualifies as old guard? :confused:

:lol1:.............I have no alliance to Dan that's all in you head............Like all your tall stories, how's your 2.1 stroker coming along? :lol1:

I did meet Dan once, when him and Emma attended Japfest at Castle Combe.......and very nice people they were too :thumb:

Dan like most other enthusiasts is very passionate about his car and its just he vocals what most are afraid to say. Sometimes he did go over aboard with things he said but he hated the way the marquee was going and incidentally so did I hence why I jumped ship after 8 different models of Impreza and bought an Evo........Stickers, fake roof vents, STI stickers on WRX's, gash bodykits painted white with pink polka dots, people have a right to do what they want to their car and "genuine" enthusiasts have a right to mock them when they do it!

Have you seen his car? Probably not, its mint!....Ok, Its no Blobeye Wagon with a 5 speed box, PPP and AP brakes like your own car its just a common of garden blue Blob STI with carlos fantango wheels, pimped blue interior, inferior 6 speed box and rock hard suspension..................No wait, that's just in your head! :cuckoo:

.....anyway, I still believe Facebook has killed Scoobynet but if it makes you feel better, blame Dan Mayes :lol1:

Yet more bile and petty childish ramblings from one of the bully boys, well done mate you've just provided us with the perfect example of why this site has gone the way it has, but hey if it makes you feel better to blame Facebook, then who am I to argue. :thumb:

Childish? why......Because myself and MANY others don't believe a word that comes out of your mouth....That's right Many, I speak to a lot of people from this board and everyone is of the same opinion.

............oh and Bully? The use of force, threat, or coercion to abuse, intimidate, or aggressively dominate others? Yeh i think you're clutching at straws now fella. ;)

What he said. These tools have no interest in helping fellow owners with what they think are lesser models like sports,wrx and poverty spec uk sti models as they call them. But these keyboard warriors have little help to offer as they know very little and wouldnt know a spanner(unless looked in mirror) from a hammer. As ive said some of the good members still here and will help you.

I've not been a member for that long, probably about 12 months but I have found this place to be really helpful, whenever I have asked a question I've always had an answer and help.

I come on here every single day atleast once a day, I only read and do t post very often because I usually don't know the answer to most people's questions, I'm abit if a noob when it comes to knowing about cars, I'm a computer geek :-/

If anyone would like to send me some private messages with links to other Subaru sites so I can read/post I'd be very grateful

Thanks

When referring to classics, UK Turbo's are poverty spec compared to the JDM cars, there's no getting away from that. JDM cars got all the "toys" if you can call electric folding mirrors and a rear wiper that. UK cars didn't for whatever reason. Like for like across the model years, a JDM car was always better than a UK car performance wise, apart from the very first UK Turbo's that had the TD05 as standard.

You'd be surprised how much the supposed "keyboard warriors" actually know....

mickywrx 11 September 2015 09:01 PM

84 more posts, and I might fcuk this place off, round number and all that bollocks. ;)

Oskar 11 September 2015 09:01 PM

Problem is you're not allowed to make threads about pakis named saki ripping people off and therefore the forum is dying out :lol::lol:

banny sti 11 September 2015 09:16 PM

Oskar you're a good fella but even I take offence to you using the term "paki" and I'm pretty easy going compared to some, so I would appreciate it if you did not use the term

jayallen 11 September 2015 09:33 PM

Damn Oskunt, you've gone full retard!

rossyboy 11 September 2015 10:18 PM

The cars are getting old, there's a lot less of them and a lot of the members on here are not in their 20s any more.

Less cars, less people owning them - simple really.

I could count on 1 hand the number of different classics I've seen on the road in the last 6 months.

Do you seriously think that I give a flying fcuk what you and your bunch of adidas samba, tracky bottom, hoody top, baseball cap wearing, this is England type retarded friends think about whether or not the things I say on here are true or not. :lol1:

Some of us have lived a life less ordinary, it comes as no surprise to me that the likes of you and your compadres would find it difficult to believe that someone may have done some things differently to you, I know who I am, what I am and the things I have done are way beyond the comprehension of sheeple like yourself, it's been that way all my life so it's nothing new.

I never had a group that I identified with, I'm half black and half white, I never fitted in either group, so I made my own way.

You should try it sometime, you might actually become your own man, think for yourself and not require the approval of others that aren't either to make you think you are one. :thumb:

But hey I won't hold my breath.
