Yep I agree! The old Toronto Subaru Club forum was a great resource. It's gone and in its place they have a lame ass Facebook page. Not the same at all.
I joined NASIOC about the same time as you because I'd just bought my 2006 STi. Speaking of which, I passed a WRB GD STi today with a big For Sale sign on it. I started talking about following the guy to get more info but the wife was not impressed. (I just got my Caterham home yesterday so a little time must pass before I go after another car.)
