    David B hasn`t owned the forum for 12 years or something...I don`t see how he has anything to do with the current software discussion or with how social media has affected forum participation.

    I found 99 posts (not threads) that mention Facebook from the first one in 2006 through the end of 2010...so that`s across Autopia, Detail City, and Truth In Detailing; I think it`s safe to say that DavidB didn`t drive the Autopia membership to social media.

    Complaining about DavidB is so...last decade.

    There are currently 4 active threads on this board. There used to be thousands of views daily. This is most likely part of the advertising budget. AG can`t be making money off this site. After Mike left the AG board, the volume of new posts dropped dramatically. I don`t think the boards are really a priority. I think they make their sales off email marketing.

    I`m still having issues here...gotta "refresh" over and over then suddenly I don`t have to any more, and then I do again, etc. etc.

    I’ll third that sentiment!
    Treat it like it`s the only one in the world.

    I think you`re making my point for me--it`s nothing specific to this forum or because of DavidB, traffic is way down at forums, and yet competent companies still "make their sales".

    I`m not sure. Other forums seem to have more traffic. Sure the volume has dropped some but the reality is that facebook is horrible for searching for info.

    Sure AGO does, I think AGO surpassed the traffic here after the disruption when 3D bought it, maybe before that. But the Optimum forum is slower than this one. I don`t really know what goes on at MOL anymore.

    I had the same problem, could t get it to load from the usual link to New Posts.

    Forums have basically become a place for people who love to dig into the minutia of a topic. Many of the ones I used to frequent are no longer active. I wasn’t getting enough information for specific questions on social media and a car friend recommended this forum. Been here since.
