Forums slow down with time but dead, nah I still come here almost everyday.
Heck I still belong to forums for my sons 2004 Grand AM GT. So if they can stay active all these years I'm sure we can too.
I am not and will never be a part of facebook so that is out for me. So all I have is you guys

The search function isn't that bad. I find a lot of info using it still.
A pet peeve of mine though is everyone posts everything under the sun in the general forums instead of taking the second to post in the correct forum.
That just bugs me, but this isn't the olny place that does that.
I do agree with one point that was made though. There are a lot of "clicks" on here and if you are not part of one your posts go basically unread or ignored. That I wish would change but probably never will either.
All in All its still a great place and I will be back almost every day!
