Hello Steve,
first I admit, sometimes I give answers there on this facebook site.
I am member (in fact I am 2nd secretray) of the Z-Club Germany e.V.
So my second heart beats for old Kawa (and in the last two years I was bussy restoring some of them).
We have a a homepage and a forum as well, full of details and tons of info on old Z. Restoration dokus and everything else you need.
Not as good as the SOOC forum, but not bad either.
I have to say that same happens as here. Most people switch to facebook or, even more confusing, create their own
whattsap group.
So we have the same discussion: why and what can be done. But I'm afraid we didn't found the answer.
My personal answer to "why" is: its easier to operate on cell phones, you dont have to search for the correct sub-forum, if you write BS it will soon fall down and
will be forgotten.
Many people only want a quick answer. Those dont want to share and document for later readers.
Maybe a special problem for Sandcast is, those bikes are not or rarely driven. So when bike is done, its more or less done. Mine is sitting in the garage since then.
My proposal :
. change the name to something like sandcast and diecast forum. Maybe that will generate more traffic.
- create a sub-forum like "other bike"and lets see what other fellows have as well
Sorry for my English.
