I've noticed that the high numbers of online users I used to see on this forum have dropped. With increased speed in the servers and more cars on the road, I thought the online numbers would go through the roof. Is everyone out driving or are people going away from the site? Any mods with some neato statistics or dynos on the site that would care to share any info?

Maybe some of us got tired of stalkers and death threats........BUT NOT ME! I have been on vacation to florida for the past 10 days, but now I am back, rested and tan, ready to battle trolls.
Another post for Dad... His account is still hosed. (Twin 8s!)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maybe the problem is that some of the folks are having account problems similar to mine.
I have not been able to get on with my normal account (Twin 8s!) since 09-28. The site's page for forgotten passwords has never worked and I had to delete the account that had the data. My daughter's numbers are going up.... but I would like to be able to post under my own name.
personally i slowed down here because the same topics are being repeated too much
mpg issue, buyback issue, g35c/350z vs. rx-8,
i see its gettin better now though so i randomly pop in

Probably a combination of things. The trolls have been a problem, although the mods have done a great job keeping things to a simmer. I used to check two to three times a day, before delivery. Now I check a couple of times a week and usually just get aggrevated (unfounded criticisms, rehash of old news (use the search function!), "topic lines" that make no sense).
The main reason I check now is to follow canzoomer's progress.
I couldnt post at all for 2 weeks... I think a lot of people were in the same boat. I about gave up on the forum here for a different one, when all the sudden last night I was able to post.

Tell your dad (or do it for him) to delete all cookies and temporary internet files. On windows it's in IE under tools, Internet options. On Mac's it is under Explorer or Safari or whatever preferences. This might help if it worked before and is not now.

Looks like a good number of members became active before the car hit the streets. Pre-order or what-not. A lot of pent-up enthusiasm. So a lot of members probably got their vehicles around the same time and since then have been exploring the issues. By now most of those are well-known and fewer new issues cropping up. Most questions I've had I've found answers by using the search engine.
Add to that the factor that novelty wear off in time even if it is a great car. More drivers as time goes on but maybe not as many new drivers as when delivery started. I think it stands to reason that the rate of new posts would slow over time. But it still looks pretty active to me as a newcomer.
I think most people are starting to drive their cars alot more before the snows start coming in. Once that first snow hits, my RX8 is in the garage for the winter.
Until then, I am driving everywhere with it.

Fortunately the entire planet doesn't go into hibernation during a north american winter - although it seems certain people must believe that.
Can't imagine what it would be like to live in such climatic conditions. Winter to me generally means putting on a wet suit to go surfing.

Not even all of us here in North America do - some of us are more active discussing winter wheels and tires! Ski season should be opening in about 2 weeks (the local hill with 600 ft vertical, 5 minutes from my house, will open next week, the Banff area of Lake Louise should open in 2), so I need to test fit my skis (in the ski bag) through the pass through! I still ski on "antique" style skis - my newest pair are about 5 years old, length 195, and I have some 201s and 203s that still see regular duty!
Regards,
Gordon

I agree with that.
Sometimes I feel like I have to mentally prepare myself for all of the flaming that I will see when I log onto the site. It makes me not want to get envolved in any discussion on the forum sometimes.

Originally posted by Kev I still look in, but I work through the forums quite quickly now - looking for new stuff mostly or interesting bits.
But I'm still just as enthusiastic about the car and the forum.
That's about the same for me! Plus, I've been busy at work with no time to check in ...
I still don't have my own ... yet (I've been waiting - and wanting one since I heard that the RX-Evolve was going to be made ...) I plan on trading in my 2003 MP5 in an other year or so for one ...
What happened to everyone?
