Surely model, or at least marque specific forums must be better?
Take EMD's little pug. We have one member, AFAIK (maybe nobody else will own up

), with a 106. Yet on a little Pug forum, there must be 10s/100s of members with one. So where, on paper anyway, is the most encompassing advice to be found?
I accept that many of the other forums, esp those with a younger audience, are just full of shite and chavs - I was active on the Rover 25 forums, but its like wading through treacle, as unless you were fitting a bodykit or a 100GW amp that can run off a ciggy lighter socket, your posts would go unanswered.
But the fact that some other sites are not up to scratch, thats not OOF's beef to be honest. Should we spend time, effort and money to fix this? I'm not sure we could anyway - when OOF started, we ensured we had the right (at the time) personnel behind it; a tried and tested moderator, an Omega guru, a techie to run it, and a flamboyant character.
As to OOF's future, thats a discussion for another day.
