It seems like nobody is putting any posts on the form anymore. It's like a no Facebook no luck kinda thing going on. There are plenty of us out there that cannot use Facebook for one reason or another. so what is happening and are we beginning to forget where we all started from ?
What's happening to this thread?

Totally agree with you. I rarely post here because it goes un noticed.
At least I answered you
I got the heads up on another 60,s squareback, so just waiting the go ahead for it.

I’ve been trying on keeping the forum alive and it was alive recently but goes radio silent over the winter months. With the longer days and shows coming back I feel as if it might be back soon. Is the squareback original Irish Tim?
Glad to see that there are some ships in the night out there on the sea of ether. Hope you get a good one tim. I am on a T3 cu bus project. If you know where a man can get hands on a pair of solex carbs for same cu engine you would have to greatful head's here
....I still check on here occasionally but like said above, it's very quiet in comparison to the heady days of forums before FB.
I haven't been on FB for 3 or 4 years, a tired looking, scattergun, low attention span, attention seekers online rolling billboard, an online monument to the lazyness and mental loafing of our times...
FB has effected everything _even donedeal- I recently asked a relative where he got his new to him 8 ye old car _answer FB marketplace- this chap in his older years, not huge on the internet, told me the ad was short, like the buy n sell, the car had a good few faults like leaking power steering fluid that the seller refused to acknowledge...
...he bought the car anyways, as he needed one for work quick, and he reasoned he could sell it on again quick using the same format, when he desired ”tis so quick n updates all the time FB”

Most forums seem to have got quiet due to Facebook, just up to people to post as much as possible and hope it encourages others to do the same. I don’t do Facebook either so am just on a couple of forums still.
Do you know what solexes you are looking for. I cant remember what was fitted to the CU engine. Not sure what i have in the stash
Come on lads, you've been around long enough to know that any forum is only as good as the content the members post in it. Instead complaining about how quiet it is, do something to make some noise!
The idea of not posting something here because it goes unnoticed is misplaced I think. I don't post here for the likes, the attention, whatever. I post here because this is my club, I post here to share what I'm doing on my projects with my fellow members. I use Facebook to look in on groups but I don't post any project updates on FB at all. I use Instagram but only put up one photo every couple of weeks. Usually I'll repost that same photo here but I'll include with it half a dozen more and a bit of an explanation to expand on what I'm doing. Basically i save the good shit for here.
I hope you guys enjoy what I'm posting but honestly I'm OK if you do or don't, I'll keep on doing it anyway, for my own satisfaction.
So get your asses in gear, MAKE the forum better yourself instead of waiting for someone to make it better for you. You have the power!
BTW, fair play to Noah for almost singlehandedly keeping the forum going. The forum and the club would be all the poorer without you.

Thanks Trev for getting back to us on this, and I am glad that you are saying that. The content on the other threads is fine. It's the trading post is the one that seems to be not as posted on as much as it used to. If you or someone could put up a link like the (bargains on done deal sticky). For the Facebook it would be greatly appreciated. As you rightly said it's the members who make the form . As it's the input that is required. And I do regularly read this from as do other members. We are after all in the same club,I hope that you agree.
Thanks @trev and @biddlebop. This forum is probably around longer than me. I can remember my dad and my uncle showing me pictures of people projects on the forum. One of the first one’s I can remember was @wackerwacker ’s airbus. I post what I see on DoneDeal in the “bargains in DoneDeal” section. I also like posting in the “spotted” section and seeing what other people spot day to day. I love jumping on the forum and see it buzzing with activity. I try keep the meeting room up to date with shows and meets.
