Do we really have a world network where the active member participation rate is only 6%?

Re: Active members

There are a huge number of members who have been gone for many, many years. That scues the numbers.

P.S. Woo Hoo! I'm a 6 percenter!

Re: Active members

The SVX facebook group is probably the most active "fourm" for this chassis these days. I've joined it, but the amount of misinformation, poorly chosen/executed modifications keeps me from participating.

Re: Active members

With a unique marque, which keeps getting older, you cannot expect growth in numbers. Maybe not a big poster, I will still remain loyal.

I check here once a week or so to see if I am missing something. I love the car and read all information I can find on it, even if I have not had the problem yet.

Re: Active members

I don't post often but, there's so much searchable information on this site that you can usually easily find the answers that you need.

WDB had a potentially good idea to increase site involvement. Is it possible (and financially feasible) to develop a smart phone app that links to this website?

Re: Active members

I only joined in 2011, when I bought my polo, so I think I missed the busiest days for this forum. Everything I've learned here made owning the SVX fun.

If I want a fast answer, I go to FB. Then, I come here and dig into research.

It seems that the questions on FB rarely go unanswered, right or wrong. Here, they can languish for days or more because they've already been answered here.

Turning this into and App like NASIOC has sounds like a good idea. Might be a good way to merge FB, Instagram, Forum.

Re: Active members

It's simple the forum is like a library... no one visits libraries. The facebook forum is equivalent to and everyone uses . The information is available in both places and although the forum is the most reliable, users don't want to spend hours on hours sifting through 20+ pages to find their answer(s). Times change!

I joined back in 2011 and to this day still log into the forum every day, but like others have said, if you want a quick reply or simply want to share a pic of the spaceship a lot more people see it on Facebook/Instagram. The forum does have a lot of useful information,. Ie. How-To docs.

John, the forum participation has fallen off a cliff since I want to say 08 or so. I have not been around at all basically due to "life getting in the way" but the car itself has fallen a great deal since I joined in 03. It is getting harder and harder to just keep them running no less in the condition you and Randy keep them in. I have great respect for those who can and are willing to do that. Unfortunately, I am a mod freak and the only way to keep that bug at bay is to drive a Ford Fusion with a 4 banger... no desire to mod that heap. bang for your buck in that department can be had for a lot cheaper with better cars. I got older and maybe wiser (don't ask my wife) but it does not fit my life anymore.

Tom
