The Diesel Discussion forum continues to be one of the most active forums. I wonder how many months it will be before there are more posts in DD than there are in Tech Help?

Any guesses?

Especially if more members convert to vegetable oil due to fuel price.
Diesel ownership is a culture.
As you well know, the care and feeding of a diesel is not the same as a gas engine.

I don't own a diesel but check the DD regularly as there is a lot of info that applies to most Benzes. Plus it is just a dang good forum to be around.

If we close the vintage forum and add it to tech help, we can boost those #s a bit. I've noticed alot of vintage questions in the tech help anyway. People have stopped posting there as soon as they find out the action is in the TH forum. Members seem to be more interested in newer cars, but that doesn't mean they can't still field a question on a car from the 60s or 70s. Although I often go into a room and forget why I was going there, I can still remember quite a bit from my early years as an MB mechanic.
