State of the Forum..

See, i don't get this tom-dickery over at the other forums which is a shame. I don't want to say Tesla owners aren't 'car people' because some certainly are. But man most of them couldn't change a tire without AAA.

All the Tesla owners I know are too busy driving back and forth to service centers for new motors, batteries, and infotainment screens to screw around on forums

All kidding aside, I'm not a Tesla fan, but it's cool that they're getting new people into "car culture". Maybe with a little time and enthusiasts like yourself in their community, they're learn and grow with the hobby.

I still value forums over FB groups as they contain valuable information that I find easier to digest. I don't post a lot but I do get a lot of info from the forums. I've never liked the "go search for it response" but I understand that it's frustrating answering the same thing over and over again. The FAQs help a lot in that respect. I try to do multiple searches before asking the questions but sometimes my Google Fu isn't as good as I'd like.

All that being said, I still come to this forum first over Vortex as I can make my way around here a lot easier than I can at the Vortex. Thanks to the mods that put forth the effort to keep it going.

The tex has so many advertisers spamming up the threads it makes me want to ddos the entire site. Since mk5s this forum has been my go to.

It isn't toxic not to help new members (Not sure where that language even came from) but if you aren't welcoming you're helping the decline.

If you know the answer or know where the answer is found, just share, or don't. Your choice.

If you can take the time to tell someone to search it doesn't take any more effort to just be helpful. You can always tell if you're actually helping someone or if you're enabling someone to be lazy.

I tried to search but all I found were threads telling people to search.

This also actually happened to me once. I'm not just being a smartass here.

I hate using FB (and reddit) for information, mostly because the advice is coming from a 17 year old who "will buy the car in the future" but is an expert now and has built many cars.

I prefer this forum over vortex as well. It's much easier to find information you're looking for and people here know what they're talking about.

The thing about Facebook is you have to be willing to be on Facebook.

Did you try searching?

I joined Facebook for the classified b/s/t groups, that's it. If you have stuff to sell, you're greatly reducing your audience if you don't use it.

This. Finally sold the DP and suspension parts I had listed on here because of the facebook. Make it using a fake name if you want, and never log in. But having it to buy and sell is a solid move

I've got a lot of crap to sell and I've been wondering if FB was worthwhile. Good to know.

Whatcha selling?

The only thing VW related would be some GTI floor mats. Everything else is vintage gaming consoles, vintage games, and 3 older receivers. I've "collected" stuff over the years, LOL!
