The eocf overclocking forum lost 91% traffic since all time high, because the hobby changed.
Forums where this isn't the case are still thriving. Like the garage journal. They also do a lot more like tool reviews and building material blog posts and other interesting stuff. This forum does nothing but allow you to make posts. The owner isn't going around talking to mustang owners, taking pics of their mods, recording local mustangs racing and posting the videos here, etc. It's pretty clear that the owner isn't nearly as interested in the hobby as he used to be. It should be owned by a salivating mustang enthusiast.
There's a honda accord forum that's doing fine, that has been there since the early days of the vbulletin program. 2000 iirc. Xenforo program having more and more sales every year. This place lookin like it's 2005.
You have to actually do something. The lazy days of user supplied success are what's dying. Places that pump some effort in are pretty happenin' places.
And for anyone mentioning facebook, it isn't getting bigger, it's limping down the road and it's best days are behind it. If you still care about facebook you're in your 60's.
EDIT
An afterthought - The censorship around here probably also put the last nail in it's coffin. It used to be a free speech free for all back in the DFWstangs days, but then I guess some *minorities complained or something. But something I've noticed is that some of the most active places are free speech absolutist. So you've probably fallen behind times. Got old and drank too much soy, now you've got more estrogen than testosterone. I'm guessing most of you here are old, fat, and weak. You don't lift weights or do cardio. Amirite? And because of that, you're getting stupid. As old people so often do. You know it's true, remember that dead relative of yours... I've got a few I can think of. They turned foolish, as old people do.
Think about it - You can post shit on twatter now, that isn't allowed here. I know if I tried that, there's a mod or two who would pee pee on himself. If they're even still here.WH

As for this place, it wasn't censorship that killed it, it's the users and a generation of thin skinned people. DFWmustangs was never welcoming to new members, it was a ball busting haze of new members. If you stuck around, you found a tight knit group of friends and a fun community, but most got butthurt and left.

FYI, I can name members who were active on here who are now active on my FB sites.

What name does 4bangen post videos under on YT?
I am starting to get into YouTube here recently. I still don?t think YouTube causes the death of this or any other forum, but whatever.1983 Mustang Coupe

It’s been awhile since a sane person has responded to me on here. I forgot what it was like!Last edited by Cum Dumpster; 07-13-2023, 01:45 PM.1983 Mustang Coupe
