Agreed, I think this is the problem. I never even ventured in to FB groups or any of that crap, I hated the lay out.

If FB allowed search or any sort of posterity functionality...they would lose so many users, activty and market share...

Wow I didn't post much back then but I appreciate seeing so many out of the woodwork!

Btw any recommendation for detailing? 68 Detail is still great but they are very expensive nowadays (top notch work though). Any mobile detailer around?

after college my laptop died and i didnt want to buy a new one, and the first mobile versions of this forum sucked so i stopped checking the forum daily.

went to weekly and then all the FB groups popped up and then i didnt come on here for months at a time

also i drive my wrx twice a month and havent put any money into it, so the classifieds and meets died off for me as well

FB is not even good for selling/buying even though it has the largest market,,,nothing but scammers and lowballers...not like there are community repercussions and self policing anymore

Yeah...people just create their own groups for, like, 10 people...instead of joining in
