I hope everyone sees where I am coming from... the QUALITY of the posts on a forum are just as important as the QUANTITY.

What's the point of an awesome forum for people owning the 86/FRS/BRZ when the posts are not up to the reputation of the forum? What's stopping someone from going to other forums, diluting the individual value of each forum and making the community worse in the long run?

There's at least 3 or 4 other forums that people can easily be on, so why should they stop here when they can get more precise and clear info elsewhere?

I moderated several forums and mailing lists for the 240SX crowd from ~1998 till 2004, and the biggest value for the enthusiast was always the people that made the forum/mailing list better. Once the quality people leave (because of life, different hobby, or just simply losing interest), the venue becomes shit.

Just my word of caution before these OT posts get out of hand. Trust me, I saw 3 forums go down the tubes because no one cared.
