I still lurk around on a daily basis, and continually see the same old stuff, Day in and day out.
I remember back when the site started up, If someone had a question, in a matter of minutes, there were 10-20 helpful posts. Now, the only questions that seem to get answered, are race related questions ONLY, with a few "Why did you get that "turd", the new __________ is coming out in a month..." added in for "flavor" (No pun intended)
I've tried to send a few people over to the forum, and always get the same reply. People that I know that just "Run for Fun", or "Bash", find no usefull info.
Seriously, if someone posted in here a question about having problems with a T-Maxx, or Rustler, How many helpful posts do you think they would actually see? Even the racers get shot down, when they ask for help, the common reply being, "If you learned how to drive...."
Not to mention, if someone has a complaint about ANYTHING that happens at LH, they get jumped on for bringing it up. Last I checked, Tune Pays for and runs this site, Not the local racetrack. I agree that the issues should be brought up to the track itself, but to "ban" someone for venting about an issue they had is TOO much.
As Firesprink said, the last time we had a "Berwyn get-together", it had to be listed as a BBQ, just to get people to read it. Just this week, someone asked when the next BBQ is, only to have the thread immediately changed to a "Track Pizza party".
A Bash forum may bring some life back to the boards.
