Don't forget the MR2 and AE86. I think the site would have more enthusiasm if it were all Celica generations and not just the 6th gen. First gens have a solid following I'd imagine, the 4th and 5th the All-Trac was available here, and the 7th gen has the GT-S. I think the biggest issue is most don't see the Celica as an enthusiast's vehicle for whatever reason, yet somehow a Civic is...

I thinks because civics are cheap and there's millions of them. It's easy to get into that.

celicatech is slow, mr2.com and mr2oc.com is kinda slow. LOL.
go to the ft86club.com and see the following. 4age forums, are slow, Japanesenostalgiccar.com is slow. 1stgencelica.com on the other hand are doing well.. -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years... I hardly log in anymore, last login Today Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOL
If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here... A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within. @llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore. |

Who knows, I remember coming across a few Mustang forums that were pretty much dead and if any car should be able to keep a forum going it'd be the Mustang. I even went to HondaTech and I was surprised at the level of activity, especially considering it's for all Honda and Acura vehicles. Part of it could be the switch in social medias for most users, especially those that're younger. Probably a lot easier and more convenient for people to use things like facebook groups, especially if they're doing events all the time and wanting to keep things local. I've noticed on a few other forums it's always the same group of people usually, it's just the forums that appear more busy just have more usuals making posts every day.

QUOTE (njccmd2002 @ Aug 13, 2015 - 11:07 PM)  the problem with the site is the enthusiasm is low. its dissapearing. makes me dont want to post anymore. Lets face it... toyota forums are a dying breed, unless you have a hot car aka supra or frs... Its summer, every single year all the forums die off during summer and come back during winter. I know I am putting off the celica build until AT LEAST it starts raining, if not longer. Both the major Supra Forums are dying as well. They are not even close to as dead as 6gc.net, but its really apples to oranges. The bmw forums are going strong!  This post has been edited by SupraKid: Aug 14, 2015 - 11:59 AM |
