What happened to all the forum activity/traffic? Lurkers get in here.

i ran into a guy at the hobby town in op and told him he should check out the site and he said he had heard it was a racers forum so he never bothered.

Similar experience here...

One day as I was walking around town, I came upon this small side street, just 2 blocks from my house, that had 6 guys running and bashing nitro RCs. They all lived on that block and I never knew of them before. I asked them if they post on chitown RC at all, or are registered, and they all agreed that it was a racers forum and they wouldn't feel welcome.

I was actually thinking recently about trying to bring the "fun" back into the hobby for me and maybe start bashing a little bit, hitting up the Friday night parking lot or Busse.

I'd join in.


Even though I seen this forum taking priority over one part of the hobby grade RC world, I still tried to keep the bashes and stuff going by showing that race trucks can be bashed just as well or better than any lst, revo, or savage, since there was a decline in bashers. Figured maybe some racers would try to bash or something on a Friday before a race weekend, or maybe take a weekend off from racing and bash.

A few months ago when I would post a thread about a woodridge bash, I'd wake up the next morning with a ton of replies and we'd end up with a pretty nice bash. The last 2 times I posted, 1 didn't get any interest, the other had some interest, but just ended up being Ponch, and I who couldn't run much, and Tex stopping by to check it out.

At this point I don't spend much time at all on this hobby, becuase I AM a basher, but every time I try to get a bash going, nobody else wants to, so its no fun for me.

To be honest, I haven't even takin my stuff out of my bag yet from the last woodridge bash 4 or 5 weeks ago, because theres no point. What am I gonna do? Clean up and make my CRT all nice for the next bash that probably wont happen for a good 2 months and have only 1 or 2 other people show up.

I'd like to see a change. If more people start bashing again I'll start joining in and wreckin my stuff. If not, I guess my CRT is just gonna collect dust some more. I'll just keep spending my time on biking and photography.
