Its sad this forum is so inactive ever since the hack...
I used to be excited every evening comming home from work and reading what new posts were going on. What new mods people were doing what new ideas people came up with etc.
Now the forum seems stale. Very little activity. I try to be as active as possible and post a reply to every new post. And it seems like a few other members are doing the same but thats about it. It only seems like there are a handful of active members and everyone else is just browing through. If anyone is new to the forum dont be to afraid to post. It is addictive =) I used to play dota every night and now I post. If you know what dota is pm me hehe.

Well, it is only a few days after Christmas. Members are probably out on holiday for the season and such.

Ya need to scroll down to the "off topic" section,thats where the people who have taken the YW forum as a way of life hang out,most people in this section (General Yaris / Vitz Discussion) are just looking for automotive advice on their Yaris.
PS. if you are sad about the lack of activity here you would become catatonic at the lack of activity over at TN. Last edited by jambo101; 12-27-2008 at 03:54 AM. |

the other reason is for the cold / harsh criticism and attacks . Who needs it . Enough stress offline .

+1, by far the biggest problem here! None of the new people want to post a second time after getting slammed on their first post. There is a small group of people here who dont seem to want new people coming onto the forum and will bash anyone new who posts. Having seen this I don't blame those who look but never bother to post.

You guys are making too much of this. I see this thread every winter, and I say the same thing... its the weather. Most of our membership takes a break from modding in the winter, so please, hit up the off topic forum until May.

Winter is also a hard season on the wallet, come when tax season starts in the US...then modding starts again! Promise.

Dota eh? Havent played that in the longest time.
The hack probably contributed to the low traffic. I was very surprised that a forum as big as this didnt at least make daily backups. Tuck also makes a good point and his post is probably true. Plus the economy sucks now and Im sure a lot of YW members have income issues. I too am waiting for tax season around and hopefully another stimulus package hehe. I dunno, itll get more active again itll just take some time. More certainly after the holidays are over with.

Wouldnt this topic be more suitable in the off topic section?
as there is absolutely no auto related content. |

Even though im not a yaris owner, i still think this forums is by far one of the best ones out there and even one of the most active ones as well.
I dunno, i think like everyone said on here, i think its the holidays thats killing everyone lol. Wait it out, and im sure tons of people will start posting again. :) |
