having been established for over 20years we will still continue in the "real world" simply we wont be able to respond on here

100% agree social media fragments "clubs" into small reginal areas,
AS have always been so helpful in the past, but understand a sign of the times.tony

Simple thing is Alyn is a proven provider of quality goods at a quality price with great service and advice why go anywhere else it doesn't matter to me personally that he is stopping advertising on here his number is in my phone and when goods are ordered they are at my door the next day what more can you ask for period.

Alyn, it matters not that you won't be advertising on here, you weren't when I got my car 13 years ago. People will always still recommend you, like they did then. Word of mouth is a more powerful advert, than paying any fee, IMHO.

Forums are dying everywhere still look at scooby net every week but very little new information
loosing photobucket as it’s simplicity was the death for many posts as it so easy to post on Facebook now
facebook isn’t as good for project threads and information disappears down to quickly which we find on a couple of car groups I’m in
Facebook advertising is massive now and very cheap
I have 10k followers and 20 messages a night for the business I run
I used to spend 20k + advertising 20 years ago now £3 boosts an avert
Alan is well established and respected in the community so why continue supported scooby net

"Alyn" was on here long before AS Performance started advertising and always has been.............
this is purely a business decision that the £500+ per year fee is simply not justified given the falling membership
we always did and continue to supply good quality goods & services for good value for money and 'deal' pricing / 0191-4103770

This place has a vast amount of info stored in threads over the last 20 years. Just hope the switch isn’t flicked to the off position at some point.

When that time comes I wish we could buy the website. If there not making enough on advertising they will close it.

Yeah everytime I search anything on google, a lot of the link first links are all too scoobynet. Never social media.

Trade or private? About £12 private. Trade varies depends if you just want a trade account or advertising aswell. Which means your company gets advertised on all the forums owned by the company.

Scoobynet was dying a toxic death well before Facebook Groups took hold. In 2018 the information left on Scoobynet is a mixture of helpful, outdated or just plain wrong. There's far better resources out there now which don't have traffic statistics boosted by NSR posts. I look at Scoobynet out of habit, in reality it gives me nothing tangible or useful in terms of a 'resource' for Subaru owners.
Sad but true.

Quite the opposite actually, the trend will find enthusiasts moving back to forums due to the quality of content. User groups on facebook have all sorts of riffraff more and more people are heading back to the forums.

I still find it useful aswell. So be honest there use to be a lot of trolls on here, but they've all gone now which is good. Use to get them on all the time.
Lost a lot of breakers, only Matty left now. Use to have Darren, poor customer service but cheap parts.
