It's surprising too. There are so many nice builds on here, and just adding a comment on someone's project gives the builder so much motivation.

a lot to do with the weather also... i have been finding tons of sh!t to do around the house, and in the garage, and then beers out back. still trolling often but havent been daily lately.

I'm here a number of times a day, but no, I don't post that often. For me, if I don't have something to say, then I don't want to make up something just for the sake of posting lol. I usually just try to help someone out looking for answers, etc.

i agree with this guy - i Don't post for the sake of posting i am not much in the way of knowledgable in mazdas , i don't do suspension work or body work , engine work . I'm affraid to say i 'm a pay for some one else to build my dreams. But honestly i'm ok with that and its ok with everyone else ... i read posts but if i don't have something that would help the person i don't post to the thread.


i'd love inspiration to work on my truck but majority of the problem is funds like everyone else. I'M Personally desperate to get my mazda on the road now but with no funds to get the parts i need it just may not happen this year.

My reasoning is simple really. I'm not much on customization and lowering which seems to be the biggest thing here by far. I'm more of a repair tech kinda guy to help get them running, and the traffic there has slowed down considerably. Also with me being a MT mod and viewing posts over there saps limited time I have from here.

weather helps here as well because most of us are busy as hell outside keeping things up in shape and enjoying the warmer weather.

Now I do log in daily but rarely post because there is just not too much that I can contribute to. I personally am not a fan of saying 'great job' every little detail, that can make a build thread incredibly huge. I do 'taunt' sometimes (Pics? Updates?) on threads that peak my interests the most though and major milestones I keep the mentality going.

Screw face book and its social monitoring....I am so sick of the lack of sincerity and unfortunately i think the internet is to blame...couple months back there was a meet up local for b sceners....lots of talk about it then one person showed up...its time to get back tot he route of society and stop relying oin the tinternet as a way of being social....facebook is garbage and its just a exploit on the community in general...if i saw mark z....in public i would punch him in the face...where are the days of clubs and meetings for a general wrenching day...there gone... never did i think i would see the day where sittin pretti the formst club in washington for years have under twenty regular members...its sad.....forums are great but there not a substiutute for interaction and gathering....if your on facebook get off... your just a mouse in somebodys get rich quick scheme...just look at failed myspace... once people caught on to the directions its a social network wasteland and wish they would just take it down...get off your ass grab that truck and meet up at the local hot spot ....I am trying to revive minitrucking in my town and its failing ...miserably ....to much x box to much starring at the smart phone updating status....its not just minitrucking its all facets of custom cars and other hobbies i enjoy...the internet is a tool not a way of life...

as for the scene...i like it the format is tried and true one thing i wish is it was more friendly to old machines and didnt bog down or stop when loading pics....not sure if it s the host or just the machine i use at times but i notice on my phone its the same way...

so all in all i treat the internet as a tool in my tool box but unfortunately some are leaning more towards a way of life...pretty soo n we can tell the sun to take a vacation cause we wont need to go outside.,..
