    Re: What happened to this place

    There's a few reasons I suppose but mostly down to competition from other forums and Facebook.

    Are you a previous member Dave?

    Some heroes wanted to take over the club to spunk the club funds on their own jollys... When that failed they made another site where they can finger each other and talk about times of old

    When all the trouble started a year ago, a lot of good people left. I know your reasons for it Marc but it's one of the reasons that we're quieter than we ever used to be

    Re: What happened to this place

    Sometimes feels like it

    The committee boards are still very active and the projects too but the general section has been very quiet over the last 3-4 weeks. The events area too but that's natural at this time of year

    Half the people that left spent half theyre time talking about themselves in the 3rd person...

    It's not them that are missed, it's the cars, the legends, the stories and the memories...

    GOD DAMMIT why did you have to take away the cars

    WHY!!!!

    It'll be great, old friends, new friends, times of old, times of new, few beers, steak dinner off a paving slab... Few hand jobs👍

    Re: What happened to this place

    Nothing has happened to this place*, it's the times and the people that have changed.

    I clicked 'last 24hrs' this morning and there's 32 threads to catch up on since yesterday afternoon. Not bad considering other forums and the small number of GTT's on the road.

    *though it's all in progress

    See, that's what RTOC has been missing! A list of names!!!

    I guess I missed all the politics that went on... I sort of forgot I had a Renault, came back on here after a while and there was about 3 new threads.

    Re: What happened to this place

    I miss the buzz this place used to have. I've been a member on/off for 10+ years and have learned heaps for many folk who don't seem to occupy the boards any more. Miss those guys and their input. There always used to be a good technical thread on the go, really kept my interest.

    I've done the 'grown up' thing now, married, just bought a house that needs work. In fact, I need to build a garage in the spring so that I can continue my R5 project.

    The only reason my posts and project progression have ground to halt is purely down to the house purchase. Priorities and all that. Toys will come later. My F7P turbo motor WILL be sitting inside a mint R5 shell at some point, just not sure when that will be at the moment. Still love to see the progress others are updating, very inspiring. That's the stuff that will keep this club going.

    BTW, not a fan of the Facebook Renault Turbo page/croud/scene especially. This place should be the one-stop shop.

    I hate to say this but the Turbo Renault forum seems to be growing by the day.
    I do see where it's coming from though, the site really looks the bussiness and has alot of nice features.

    I'm afraid they have the winning hand tbh, shame as i i've learned alot on here and met a great few people too!
