Database Error

For what it's worth using the forum front page to ID subforums with new posts (the logo is highlighted), the quickly reviewing those works almost as quickly as New Posts, at least on a PC browser, as mentioned above.

Maybe it WAS @Tcoat maintaining this site the whole time.

The "find posts" links within our user profiles screen is
now giving the same database error. This issue is
definitely a hinderance on accessing old posts that we
need to refer back to.

I appreciate that. That's how I'm viewing now.

I'm just frustrated that this forum is being left for dead. I'm afraid it will cease to exist and there's no reason for it except for lack of caring. There's a entire library of information that will be lost. A lot of that information I refer back to regularly.

Like I said earlier just sell if if you don't care anymore.

We could become a member-owned anarcho-syndicalist commune where we take it in turns to act as a sort of executive administrator for the week.

You're fooling yourself. We're living in a dictatorship. A self-perpetuating autocracy in which the working classes--

There you go, bringing "class" into it again.

@Enigmeerkat you sure about that? Personally I identify as an NPC in this forum virtual reality running on a demigod's 1981 level IBM PC where my primary job is to make snide comments about the conspiracy theorist NPCs, occasionally necromance old threads, and to be the occasional foil or straight man for @Irace86.2.0.

It's a good life, until someone turns the power off on us anyway.

This was the one I noticed as well. The "New Posts" button is well news to me lol. I must give it a try

If this goes on much longer we're gonna have to go back to watching old Red Green episodes for information on car modifications.

"Order?" Who does he think he is?

Have admins all but abandoned the site?

Little bit frustrating as things seem to be getting progressively worse.

The admin. Ichitaka has been quite responsive to my concerns; in my opinion, he does a good job on this platform. I don't know if the other moderators are still active much though. I assume some of the other admins have just lost interest over the years; this is to be expected, as the BRZ/86/FRS platform has seen most of its hype fizzle out recently. Even the 2nd gen BRZ and GR86 have been relegated to being classed as "problem cars," due to the oil consumption/oil starvation/RTV debacles. It's a real bummer really, as the 2nd gen cars had so much potential, but cost-cutting and half hazard engineering by Subaru/Toyota has made most owners dump their cars as soon as problems became widespread in the forum. As owners dump their cars, prospective owners begin to take note and interest for the platform declines. I believe this is why this forum has fewer eyes on it than it did in the past. Most new members create accounts here, in order to gain insight into all of the problems their car is having/will have; that's what most automotive forums are there for, once the "new car release" hype fizzles out.
