In doing so I found new appreciation of FT86club forum, Toyota nation seemed so much less active and the few questions I asked I get 1 smart ass reply "do whatever it says in the manual" which defeats the purpose of asking folks who have experience owning the car. After looking through lots of posts I found quite a few that are just retarded, and that's coming from a long time FT86club member so that should say something.

Point being I appreciate all you FT86club folks and Moderators, this is one of my favorite internet holes.
I joined the 5th Gen Impreza forum when the wife got her car, posted about 20 times and haven't been back in 2 years. Exactly the same as you just said. There is zero community interaction it is just ask a question, get and answer and go away again.

Those were my old DSM and Lancer forums. The DSM one just disappeared one day and didn't even leave a trace. The Lancer one was a bit more advanced but eventually got so over run with pop up and banner ads that it was no longer even usable.
