doesn't anyone rally chat anymore?

Rally is weird.
I am part of several other very active forums in other topics that do not seem affected by facespace.

Maybe the nature of rally attracts loners. Or mostly new people who don't stick around.

I will submit a vote for a Tapatalk friendly forum though, I check into the other places daily on Tapatalk and only occasionally here.

Maybe we need a closed forum like the local biker club, only way in is to meet someone in person at an actual event. And folks that don't participate get flushed.

The slowdown seems to have hit almost any type of message board,but for some reason car related seems to have taken a bigger hit.

Pretty pathetic these for days but a little bit of activity-Wow-look at those 2010 #'s!

Above #'s actually not that bad considering old obscure car-right?!

Again-if you look in there-not too bad considering ageing thunderchickens,Xr's and svo's are the subject

...





Focus forums that I used to be on alot,and I'm starting to check out again


Focaljet(was my goto for focus related since 2005)

No user specs- but almost nothing since 2017 or so..maybe a post or 2 on the entire site per day-it's done! DEADSVILLE!

Other newer sites look to have taken the newer RS and ST guy$$ away to make it even worse.

Site is doing pretty good considering car msg board in 2019!


I regged there the same time as focaljet,but went on there much less.
Numbers obviously way down from 2016,but I'd call this thriving-especially comparing the focaljet #'s.

I can't explain the difference in failing between the 2 sites..perhaps marketing and the name?

I'm a "Gun Nut" too and I'm on Calguns daily(posting/lurking) and "arf.com" and m4carbine(lurking)weekly.


Check out these stats.

Of course,when you have member #'s like this-Members: 304,072, Active Members: 23,112,the site is till going to be pretty active

The 2013 #'s most likely reflect alot of pre-election worry of gun bans-besides the other normal factors.

Holy crap-look at the 2016 numbers!


...



With the gun sites some will say the old fart/facebook hate is a huge factor-and I agree to some extent,but I know for a fact there are alot of youngins coming aboard too.

I think car people for some reason gravitate away more from message boards as a rule-I dunno.

Support your Local North American Rally Forum!!

While they are still around-and get the hell off Farsebook!!

We still have Specialstage & RallyAnarchy.

I don’t think you can blame FB for the downfall of RA, SS, and DI.

FB does have the great ability to block or ignore certain people, which this forum does not.

I just checked the Volvo forum that’s pretty active (Turbobricks.com)

290 users viewing.
40 something active members on the forum at this time.

Of course you can blame bastardin Facebook. Those cunts with their data harvesting and tailored algorithms to influence and steer societies across the world to their paymasters needs are absolutely accountable for people becoming insular, divided and less willing to share and engage in broader debate.
Propaganda works ffs, it's plainly obvious by the diminishing input from folk that share a common interest.
Wake the fuck up people and get rid of that insidious shite from your devices.

Unification for a common cause will save rally!

Viva la revolution!

But you are a member on Turbobricks, and I haven’t blocked you there either.
