.......Like fnkngrv has said/been doing, I and many others sport YarisWorld.com decals on our cars.......

I also have YW stickers on my car.
I wonder how many people saw the stickers, tried to locate the site when it is down and gave up on it.

But I can say that I do like the fact that YW is pretty chill. A few other forums I'm in are really overly strict and the mods/admins there have power trips; i.e. I posted my charity car show event and was threatened to be banned (and the admin has his own charity event under his signature). I think the mods are doing a good job, even if we don't really see the majority of them post. I mean, I myself do not post much now-a-days unlike before when I was the top poster on the site

However, the lack of concern by the admins is well, concerning.



uhhh, I actually forgot where I was going with this. Danggit, was chatting with the family while posting this. lmao.

That was when it was proven beyond a shadow of a doubt the admins didn't give a damn.

No one can blame the mods, frankly they are saints to deal with this crap.

But unfortunately YW=drama, it always has.

As for newcomers from the new model, give it a year or two and you will see some. We are also seeing newcomers from the used car market. Frankly the car is holding its value too well to get a ton of new modders for the aftermarket scene, but that should happen too in a few years.

YW was gigantic for the casual forum goers a few years ago. Especially 2008/09. Those people are always going to move somewhere else. Getting good active members to replace them is important.

There is no such thing as forum cohesion. Every single forum has its cliques and jerks and groups and crazy mods and so on. We just wave our flag so the newbies know who is who here.

PK wants me to line up the member lists, guess what? there are some really active members, and there are some names who use to be active who don't come around anymore. That's the nature of a forum. Oh, and some people are flat out missing, since the hack killed all of what they added.

No one is saying kill the forum now, because YW has some great people and several great communities. But keeping them together and the insane amounts of info this forum contains alive on the internets is important, especially when it could go down for good any day. Eventually even tire rack will give up on YW. Haven't seen any other ads recently, though i could be mistaken.

^^ I think TireRack has been gone for a while. I believe that MI is now the sole sponsor.

I've wondered about this. The TireRack ad banner remains, but I had a feeling they're not even a sponsor any more.

[toad]

^not sure they're an actual 'sponsor' or not, but doesn't yarisworld.com have a deal with them where if you bought something on their site thru the banner link here a small portion went to the forum?

KCLAB? Who's KCLAB? ;)

The same situation happens each winter, people don't spend time playing with their cars, have other things to do. Then spring and summer comes around, bringing meets and other activities with the car and people have things to say and show. During winter there is only so much you can talk about turbos and track times and accessories.

Original posters:

etimago: still has a Yaris
caliyaris: still has a Yaris
fnkgrv: still has a Yaris
CTScott: has 2 of them
KCLAB: still has a Yaris
etc etc.

And I dont blame anyone for anything, just calling it as I see it. Fair weather fans, typical of today's society if not constantly stimulated lose interest.

Oh and one last thing...no one else is coming in to become part of the forum? you need to check your facts before you say something like this. Just today we had 21 new members. I invite you to check the member list and line it up according to join date

Has nothing to do with your remark, but wanted to get one picture in before this thread is pushed to the back 40.
