Strange isn't it. Such a huge difference. Once read the OOF was "an excellent and highly technical forum"... Possibly written by Honest John maybe...? (You know what my memory is like).

Why so good here and so poor elsewhere?  :-\  certainly the vag and fiat forums are fairly hopeless too ime.

Neighbor tells me there are some good BMW forums though. :-\

it's the people that MAKE the forum.... 

and we're fortunate to have an admin team and membership here that makes others look both lazy and stupid....


I'm on the admin team for an audio specialist forum , with about 90,000 members....

i have been known to cite OOF as an example of what I personally consider a generally well run, engaging, and typically friendly , and always helpful forum.

I found the Mercedes forum quite good.Also found the Ducati forum reasonable.Have seen quite a few car forums though which are either like a ghostown or newcomers are about as welcome as a turd in a swimming pool. ::)

Any know problem area's in the middle of the car for oil leaks, noticed some oil on my drive but not feeling like crawling around to see where / what it is..... ::) ::)

Will probably pop it over to my local independent during the week and get it over the pit for a look, well for him to have a look.. :D :D

I did get a response, asking for further details..... :y

Forums

There is a well run AV forum but it is well overloaded with posts so casual posting is not worth it.

I know of a TV forum which is extremely bossy and loves merging threads into super multi thousand post threads.
