Is that the clever make up they use in the movies?

Well it seems that this community is flourishing. Some members have moved on to patures new, but there's still a core element of "Old Skool" members. The ever increasing amount of all important newbies keeps this place ticking over nicely.

This is the only forum that's kept my interest for more than 6 months, and long may it continue

Congrats Leece and Marcel!

Firstly, this is just a topic for discussion. It is in no way my prediction for the future. I am not dissing Newbies or other forum members.

I bring forward the subject of "Forum Death". A time will come when most subject matters have been covered in great depth. The forum "masters" will be sick of the "what's this noise" and "Wave or Boost" threads started by Newbies, and will spend less time on MINI2. Obviously new changes will be put in place by BMW, but how often will that happen and how long will it take to discuss them to saturation point?

The MINI is still a new car. Not every subject has been discussed, and there will still be new bugs found with the design of the car. But, as BMW fix these issues, will we run out of things to discuss?

ICE and Performance and tuning aspects of the MINI world will always progress, but these areas only appeal to a certain percentage of MINI2 users. How many will be interested in this aspect? How many will be put off by the amount of Ricers that fit cars with crazy bodykits and 12" exhaust pipes? This will happen as second hand cars get older and more affordable for the younger drivers.

I have seen this happen before. I participate on a forum in the geeky world of Telecomms. A few years ago the forum thrived with expert engineers sharing information and ideas and helping each other out of technical problems. Now I log on to see complete novices (I know they still need help, but they could try searching ) asking inane questions that any good engineer should know already. (The difference between MINI2 and the tech forum is that MINI2 is for everyone while the tech forum is aimed specifically at engineers).

Can we save MINI2 from forum death? I believe the community spirit that exists on this forum can keep MINI2 going forever.

What are your thoughts?


Ooooh, this thread is really interesting when you read it from the beginning I can't believe I started it
