It just doesnt seem to be as big (post and traffic wise) as it once was and it seems like alot of the old faces are gone. I know that alot of the younger crowd will start to pic these up the later ones like 00-05s as their first cars or first project cars over the next few years. It just seems like this place has already kinda went through its "golden age". Where will it be in 5 years?

lets wait in 5 years and see
Im a Xbox 360 fanboy...and damn proud of it!!
Yeah I've seen it slow down as well. IDK were its going to be in 5 years but we gave it a hell of a run.
its going to slowly die out... there will always be a j-body enthusiast out there though.
even if this place see's 10 posts a day, there's always going to be the search... if the site does continue, it will be the legacy of this place, and i think thats very noble.
but, like everything... here today, gone tomorrow. all things must come to an end, even good things.
Riddle me this... riddle me that...
i just posted my 19900587 up you should check it out
i do agree however this site will either slowly die out or will become more about the collectors (low mileage and the like)....
watch for flying sparks!!!
Yea i didnt post here for around a year and a half and recently started up here again and noticed most of the old faces were gone
.
The j will be in the same catagory as AMCs also the mitsu/Dodge starquest and misfits.
i'd be pissed im always checking this forum for stuff, today i learned what pass lock is

it would suck really really bad...

lol its only a car forum not a job or a house. if it was gone id just go to a different car forum. dont get me wrong i love the org and ive meet some great people off of here and learned alot from here but like zyaaaa said, nothing last forever.
i've definately notice alot less traffic lately....but you also have to remember that its spring time and people are working on their projects now.
but OT has definately seen a decline in frequency which I dont like....since OT is my life blood
If I woke up and the org was gone..... I wouldn't know what to do with my Internet connection LOL
Seriously though.... the only 2 web sites that are really ever on my computer screen is the org and my E-mail.
btw.... Isn't the org going to be 10 years old next year? (I can't remember the month)
If this place ever dies out.... it will be a sad day.... I wonder what Dave's long term plans for the site are..... and if he plans on keeping it up and running when the day comes that the only people that own these cars are a select handful of us that still have our 30 year old 1997 Cavy in their garage. Maybe if Dave is reading this thread he could chime in (cough cough
)
One day I hope to have my rare vintage Sunfire at a car show when I'm old and gray.
to be fair, there are some old faces on perma-ban. i know the lack of OT sucks. i can't read the same stuff over and over again.
Ive noticed the post have died alot as well, as well as the old heads are gone, or dont even post on here anymore.. Which is fine.. Im an old head, I still post every once in a while
I also agree that people have projects goin on, including myself that prevents us from being on here often.

yeah, but you have to look at the people who also graduated from j-bodies, but still come back here. This place is more than a car forum. Places like OT, & AG make it different from most forums i have been on.
I would hate to see it go, but the platform is dead, so eventually this place will be too.

very true. clublexus sucks when it comes to this. there ot forum sucks horribly.
I will always own at least 1 j-body (if not more) so hopefully the org will be here, but the less traffic has been nice.

Ehh, I don't think that's true. With the amount of these cars that were produced I think there will always be a reason to keep this site around...
I'm still here....... after all, the gto is just a heavy cavalier.

I don't see it going anywhere for a while I wouldn't worry about it that much. Ya eventually people will move on to other things but if you really think about it, you probably will too lol. Ya I'm gonna make sure I accomplish what I want to with my cav but when I graduate college and have a real job I'll be able to move on to bigger and better things. I'm not knocking our cars what so ever but honestly.. were gonna move on.. theyll be jbody sites up another good 5 years minimum... I'll wanna build a muscle car after my cav..
