Just wanted to share. I'm not sure if it's just me; however, I have been noticing a lot of new members join lately. Perhaps it has to do with the "Safer at Home" situation. Some of the new members post introductions while others start new threads. Some seem to just be trolling our forums.

Anyone else notice this?

 

Indeed. A lot of new “members” end up being spam however.

 

Why spam a car forum?

 

I can’t speak for everyone,but I just joined because I couldn’t get any serious info from a ‘fb’ group that I joined to try and learn and help me out on my questions. I noticed every time I googled a question,THIS site popped up the most often.

 

That is why forums are still great to use!!

 

I love forums, and have been on one for pretty much every vehicle I've owned since I found thevboard in '03 while looking for parts for my Spec-V I don't like facebook, except for finding my new to me 87K mile 2002 T/A last week in the marketplace. I also had a '98 T/A from 10/17 through 4/19 and lurked this forum quite a bit for how-tos. Since deciding to buy another T/A, I thought I'd join mostly to see if the car I wanted was really worth the price. But I also hope to contribute as I tear into my new toy. For what I paid, she's a running project.

So, I don't know about others joining and why, but that's my story. And while I don't spam, I did make a mean corned beef hash and eggs for breakfast this morning
