I just went through this tread again to look at those that are in favor of this type of thread versus those that are not too keen on this type of thread. Look at it yourself regarding how long the pro/con have been on this site. It's really quite interesting.
It really makes me wonder:
1. Are these new owners?
2. Are they just new members?
3. Are new owners/members a different demographic/psychographic?
4. Those that are around a 1,000 posters are really quite different than those that are less than the less than 100 posters.
5. Are times changes, image of the site changing, requiremnets of the site changing?
5. et. al.
For me personally, I've always been here for answers to questions regarding my car(s), a good laugh about my car(s), learning more about my vehicles, technical information, how I could improve my car(s), and a good laugh in general. I owned my first NSX when I lived in Europe and didn't know about this site. There were only 300 NSX cars in all of the UK and I never saw another one. When I came back to the US, I had another NSX and a fellow NSX owner introduced me to this site.
Please understand, I am not trying to make value judgement or make any type of social commentary. Just my observations.
Sorry if you think I am hyjacking the thread.
