Where has everyone gone?

Hi,
rec.autos.makers.vw.watercooled used to be quite an active group.
Where has the discussion moved to? When I search for alternative
groups for watercooled VWs, I find mostly very narrow groups that, for
instance discuss modifications, or discuss just one model of VW,
rather than the more general discussions of VWs overall. The other
possibility is people in general are not doing their own maintenance
and repairs on cars and so discussion is dropping off.

So curious where the discussion, if any, has moved to.

cheers

I spend most of my on-line car time at TDI Club for diesels.
Lots of activity there.

Some of us are still around.

I go to vwvortex occasionally, but their email notifications are so
messed up they point to the wrong URL, even after 5+ years. Tell 'em
about it, they'll blame the host... Really? Even after this long??

If there's another that's good, I'd love to go there.

If you are interested in diesels, the TDIClub.com is a great
source.

For me a big problem is that I have been losing access to netnews. My
employer (a major telecom company) took away most access over security
concerns and my personal Internet provider, Verizon, did the same thing.
Using news.aioe.org currently which some time back was unavailable for
months.

VW Vortex must be the 'main place' these days, and I say that in spite
of the recent forum drama they have been going through.

I'm usually lurking over there and on an email list spec'd to a
certain model of car.

But, here I am, reading and replying to this thread.

Actually I came in search of help w/ Digifant and an 89 Jetta. (It's
got Previous Owner's Syndrome coupled with the current owner not being
a gear-head.)


In any case, "Hello Everybody!".

Hey TBerk, and everyone else! Was just hitting the groups for a chevy
problem and saw this group highlighted for a thread I had flagged. Only
been a little over a month since last time I was here. Not bad for these
days. Definitely not like the old days ; ). VW's, along with all the rest
(chevy right now for me) seems to be viewed by many to match the economy and
the rest of world events... they all kinda suck... but we try to still have
a little fun and humor along the way!

LOL!
Over a year later and I come back to find this thread still almost at the
top of the list.
Where had everyone gone????
Don't know, but seems everyone, and everyone that was left, has now gone!

I dunno, maybe Dubs have stopped breaking?!?!?!?

Well, mine rarely breaks... (snicker, snicker)

OK, so it is an 88 with 46K miles, so it hasn't been driven that much.
