Popularity of car forums diminishing?

Wow...I haven't been on these car forums for a while, and since coming back to MercedesShop, I am finding that it has slowed down quite a bit...I am going to a lot of the other forums, i.e. bimmer.org, bimmerforums.com. and mbworld.org nowadays, and they all seem slow or dead...I remember a few years back when the threads on this forum appeared faster than people could reply 'em...

Perhaps people have less free time to participate on the forums? I know I do.

P.S. The Peak Restaurant has duck pizza? I didn't see that on the menu.

Yeah, I don't have the time either. But I think others(as myself) are just kinda tired of the rants about who said what about who, who's banned, who's a whiner, blah, blah, blah. Back "in the day" it seems we just put up with each other, or used the "ignore" feature and moved on. Seems there's more threads devoted to who needs to be banned then there needs to be.
Dunno.
Maybe I'm just whining

Tell me about it!
Also if you do a search the information is usually already there.

I personally have become much more busy. Most of my car forum surfing has been on other forums where they actually discuss cars, and not just politics.

How many ways can we discuss hatred and defense of the President?
