>I hate social media. Though I can somewhat understand it over forums as it's convenient if you're into social media already anyway, and it's probably easier to get local groups together as well. I don't think forums will die out completely as there're a lot of things it'd be difficult or inconvenient trying to use some form of social media layout. I think the biggest issue, and with car forums dedicated to older models specifically, is that everything has already been done a million times. Then when someone new posts asking about whatever the few still around are like "USE SEARCH BAR" or "GOOGLE IT".
that's exactly the problem. not us telling people to use the search or google. but people blatantly being ignorant and just asking simple questions that with 2 seconds they can find themselves. 6gc on facebook isn't too bad but other pages are filled with "which ebay intake should i buy?" everyday.

Most say "I can't find anything" then it takes me a 1 minute to search this or alltrac.net and find what they need. So lazy.
same here. i still find it funny that everyone's excuse is always, "I can't figure out how to use the forums, so that's why I ask on facebook." it's not that hard. everything's sectioned off into it's rightful place. exterior, interior, turbo, na etc. hahaha.
