| Check the stats on messages. June posts were only 200+
Thats down from a high of June 2004 of over 4000 posts.
Did everyboby go to the SDC forum? Or did people just lose interest?
Does the SDC forum have thousands of post per month?
Just curious

Some did, many did not. Several of the regulars here fell off the face of
the earth.

Possibly, especially the guys who don't live, eat, and dream Studebakers
24/7/365.
> Does the SDC forum have thousands of post per month?
Not as many as this place it it's prime. There is a core group over there
that consists of about a dozen guys who do 90% of the posting. Don't
question the norm if you don't want to get jumped, it's definately a mob
mentality over there. I did and was pretty much asked to leave... so I did
and as far as I'm concerned most of the guys there can kiss my ass. Funny
thing is I check it about once a day (slowly weening myself from it) and I
see now they're talking about the exact same changes and problems that I
brought up (for example, forum improvements, website outages, and membership
recruiting). Oh well, I'll just sit back and watch the SDC fade into the
sunset since they don't appear to be interested in what I have to say.

Paul, I thought I had seen your posts on the SDC forum before?
Despite some "outages" every now & then, the quality of discussion
there remains high.
Between M.1.5.'s multi-postings of nonsense, unconttrolled spammers,
and Lee trollishness, this newsgroup just lost all appeal. >> Stay informed about: What has happened to this group? |

The SDC forums are about as busy as this news group was with Studebaker
talk. The off topic stuff in the general chat (Stove Huggers forum)is
not as busy yet.

Yep, they all ran over there. Guess the heat was too much for 'em here.
How sad that people have so much difficulty using the "mark as read"
function.
The SDC forum(s) are far more a PIA to navigate etc.
Besides, sometimes silence is golden...

It took me a while to admit it, but I am much happier on the SDC forum
because it is "gently moderatered" by Bob Shaw. After being called every
name in the book here, the unending flame wars we all joined in on, it
got out of control.
We still disagree, fuss and fight, but if it gets out of hand Bob
steps in (maybe every few months) I get more useful info over there
without the trash talk.

I have been too busy to do anything but quickly skim over both this
forum and the SDC one. I will agree, though, that the SDC forum is
kind of "controlled" by a certain bunch and if you do "step out of
(their) line" THEY can get some jabs in but forget jabbing back as
Shaw doesn't like a poster without a gazilliion posts to say anything
bad about or even question a "regular". I have been on this forum for
a long time (not as long as some, though!) and I prefer a place where
if someone takes a shot at you you can shoot back... I have enjoyed
this forum even through all the flame wars, spam, etc. Those wars
prove we are all human and not robots.

I like this group as I can easily jump directly to other Google Groups
where I posts messages. In each of them, I have a different name, so I
can easily know should someone write me directly.
Others, like Nate, use their name openly. (We oten run nto each other) >> Stay informed about: What has happened to this group? |

Sorry guys, I have not posted here in a long time, tho I read it
regularly. I think the major reason for the "defection" (if there is
one) to the Forum is the pix. Can't post 'em here. AND if spam or
porn gets on the Forum, it's gone almost immediately. Are those good
reasons to post there and not here? Pro'ly not. But they are good
enough for some. So we do.
And I think there are more lurkers here than 8-9. Just as there are
many on the Forum. We just don't write much, altho I guess I write as
much as some others. I try not to take ANY of this very seriously.
So I find humor in what others post, tho that doesn't make me a star.
Here's a really good example: http://forum.studebakerdriversclub.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=20440
One person just didn't understand my "humor". Oh well.....
All in all, I think both "forums" are necessary and fun. Hey, we are
all STUDE guys!...er...PEOPLE!

Yes I totally agree with you. To me, sometimes the SDC forum gets
into a "in-group" mentality similar to which is found in a high-
school.
True, this group has it's shortcomings, but it has a family feeling.
Sure that family might fight, but it's still a family. The SDC forum
has become not a family but a pecking-order. One can only verbalize
ideas or thoughts based on ones social rank depending on how many
posts one makes.
I recall back in 2003-2004 how great this forum was. Hopefully there
are enough of us guys who can keep it alive.

It works Jerry. Nice to see you back. By the way, I ran into a guy from
Tucson at the Northwest SDC Zone Meet last weekend here in the Portland
area. Claimed to know you, but I forgot his name already.
