Re: Site traffic

It's a combination of things. Facebook is more accessible for the younger/smartphone generation. I get a notice on my phone every someone on my friends list posts something there, and then further notices whenever a thread I've replied to gets additional posts. It's more conversant to the right sort of people, and also easier. I can step outside, snap a picture with my phone, and immediately post it to the facebook page.

We also have less projects happening. Young Tom was one of the main contributors to SVX mods and projects. With him and a few others departing this community there is a lot less to follow. That's one of the reasons I try to post very comprehensive threads of the work I do on my car. People love pictures and love seeing things come together. I've lived vicariously through many build threads, dreaming of when I'll have a chance to do something like that.

Finally, I'd say we just don't chat as much as we used to. The hijack thread, the supercar *wink wink* thread... Been a long time since I've seen those bumped. Part of this I think is we've lost a few of the "characters" who may not always contribute to SVX discussions but bring some colour and attitude to the community.
