Is this thing on? Remember that time we cracked the forum limit at like 3600 registered online users?
So weird to think how much of an impact this site had on so many of our lives. I know most of my adult friends through forums and especially TST. Very weird to not log on for two years and only have four active thread.

Every forum I'm on is much the same. I miss the good old days of reading build threads, now it's Instagram scene kid garbage. It's amazing to think about witnessing the peak of forums in '08-'10 or so to the near death in the past few years. I'm slightly disappointed that my original TST account is gone, haha.
I wonder if forums will become popular again, pretty much every other social media is just spewing stuff into an abyss. If you find a fix for some tech issue there's no way to make it easily searchable for people that run into the same issue. Now instead of being mad at the jerks that came back to their thread with "I fixed it, thanks for the help!" and then disappearing, just be mad that the info isn't available... Or it's available on YouTube with some dude screaming your ear off about subscribing... It's just different these days |

Hell even meets are getting fewer and fewer and the handful of meets in my area, you are better not going to because people think meets are for doing nothing but burnouts and donuts. Meets now have 3-4 backup locations because cops come immediately. I almost went to a meet somewhere over the boarder in NY last Saturday but thankfully I didn't because the cops came and blocked the only exit and gave everyone tickets. |

There really seems to be a lack of doing anything truely interesting with your car. The biggest topic of conversation is wheel offset and lowness, which should be like a 2 minute thought process and move on. Very little interest in doing more difficult things making power, building a good suspension, making a good clean car.
As I'm typing this I wonder if the loss of the forum has contributed to the lack of interesting builds. People aren't learning from/helping each other and only doing what the know, #stancebro. I DD a genesis coupe. They are some of the most annoying wheel idiots out there.

I believe stanced and cambered cars exist simply for us to laugh at them. Nothing like taking a car and making it unsafe, impractical, ugly, and nearly impossible to drive. It's hilarious when they scrape or beach themselves going over a little bump or hill.
Thankfully this isn't a thing Juke or Z31 owners do to their cars. |

I hate that people think a "Build" is wheels and air suspension.

I do, just can’t bear to close it down. I would love for it to be active and awesome with new activity but even if not I see it as a pretty rad archive.
Wish Google didn’t boot me from the ads system, would be nice if the site at least covered it’s own expenses but meh, it’s all good. And I’m late to the convo, but I’ve wondered what the next evolution will be because FB groups just don’t organize and archive info in a useful way like forums do so the info and knowledge doesn’t build upon itself incrementally, it just spirals over and over on the same regurgitated content.

I got tickets for tonight at 6. They're not the best seats but they're recliners so we can just lay that thing back and it'll be fine.

I'm also very interested to see what's next for the exact same reasons. Most of the FB groups just end up a dumpster fire of **** posts and comments. Even the heavily moderated ones are difficult to navigate at times, IMO. I think I'm going to see Endgame tonight at our old little small-town theater, hoping it won't be very busy.
