Dead
Looks like this forum is about dead. Its gone from dozen's of posts per day in each section to 1 a week, if you are lucky.
Where has everyone gone??
Was looking to buy one of Demon 8's products, but now seems he is MIA as well...even trying to sell of his car based on was I see on their Facebook page.

Winters are always slow on forums like this, but no doubt the forum is slower than it was in 2008.

Many semed to have moved from the forums to FB... or to Scat Packs. Combine that with the difficulty Aussies have getting us parts, it's no wonder we see the aftermarket drop off. A bit sad. That said, this forum is still the first place I go to get an answer or a tip that saves me in a pinch. Hope it lasts a good while longer!

There's still a handful of guys pushing the envelope with the platform, but I do agree this place is a ghost town. Sad that the "What did you do today" thread is full of oil change posts and not FI installs.

I'm around, and used to post a bunch. Not so much anymore as a 2 year old and 3 jobs takes up all my time. I also haven't done many car modifications in the last two years as well since the budget got tighter with the kiddo.

I know something about that....
I agree this place has dropped considerably. Sucks but that's the way forums work.
