It's scary, 8 whole years (well not quite 8 whole years but nearly). Hell I've lived in the UK for a whole 7 years and 1 week as of today.

Ok I'll do an update, Arturo this, Pink Floyd that etc etc etc :p

Although this years Le Mans thread was tiny in comparison to previous years, it's a shining beacon of how discussion on motorsport should be, not the tiresome tedious **** that you see in the F1 forum on here.

I have to agree.

I too was posting during Le Mans, and it was the most enjoyable posting "in race" I have had, sadly the F1 forum has declined recently to much squabbling and one up manship.

Le Mans is far less tribal than F1. It's kind of like the motorsport equivalent of Rugby Union, everyone wants their team to win, but most of all they want to see a good game.

In F1 there is too much team/driver worship going on.

Hoop98 is another poster that I don't see around anymore. He's probably one of the sharpest race fans I've ever known. From 7th Gear to here, he mainly focused on American open wheel formula car racing, but he had a deep understanding of all things engineering. Reasonable fellow, even when I wasn't so reasonable to him. Wonder what happened to him?

He may have finally gotten feed up with the state of AOW these days. Last time he was on here was a year ago May.

My ears are burning...and apprently no one misses me. OH well...lol...I wasn't as funny as Oily Oaf, or as doctranaire as Eki. I missed the forums as a hole and I think one of the reasons they are in decline is the populairity of Facebook and most of us access the net now on the phone. Facebook has apps for all the smart phones, as does Twitter. This format for the forum doesn't translate as well to a smart phone.

As for the Indycar board where I hung a lot, it is a shadow of itself also because of the OWR forum but I don't go there really anymore either. I was here and there, and found myself inthe same arguments over and over and maybe got bored...

I think I watch more racing than ever. f1, Indycar, Sportscar, NASCAR....I watch it all....and maybe spend less time arguing about it. I do think I miss this board, but my surfing habits are different now.....but it is interesting reading this thread, and seeing what has happened to some familiar names. I didn't know RacefanStan is no longer with us. Sad...

You're wrong. I was thinking of you and about to mention your name. Then I checked if you changed your name and saw that you still posted in 2013.

Now it's time to cool your ears.

I don't understand. If I like this place and to talk to you why should I care about how I access it?
I think those who don't come anymore either have better things to do or are bored with our company.

Try accessing the forum and posting/quoting/replying in an easy way - not really a good experience.

A lot of folk access the net and forums on the go now, so an app or browser that works well with this forum is essential, and is not available for all devices.

I get bored with my own company!

Indeed. Most of my contributions here are done through Tapatalk for iPhone these days. I find its easier for me and I'm more likely to check the forum if its on an app. There is another motorsport forum that allows tapatalk capability, but restrict it for premium members only. I once asked why this was and the response was to give people an incentive to join. I think its a massive mistake as that particular forum is virtually dead concerning activity. I think access via mobile devices is the way things are nowadays, simple as that.

My first sentence was meant to include the word Blackberry!

I use Forum Runner I think on my S3, not that I use the S3 that much as usually just carry my work Blackberry - which is really great for work stuff like mail, contacts and calendars, but utterly shoite at anything else except maybe Brickbreaker!!!

I never got on with the physical keyboard on a Blackberry, but have watched friends type faster than I could ever attempt on theirs. Maybe all the lost members don't own phones? :p

There was a time when I was so addicted to this forum that nothing in the world could spoil my joy to see what's happening here.
I mean times when I used an old phone that permitted access to internet pages but posting was impossible. I even paid for an extra card although I didn't need minutes.
Or when I've got a smartphone but not internet and I was hunting for wi-fi spots.

O tempora, o mores..... :devil:

This thread made me post again! I read the forum all the time, but I never have the time to contribute these days.

I got barred by DemolitonChica on my very first post.
And this site got me through quite a lonley year abroad in Italy.

I cant find it on the Blackberry Z10/Q10 app store yet. I had a Blackberry Curve before and have the z10 now. It is a virtual keyboard like the Droid and Iphone's and it has plenty of great features but alas, app development on some things isn't there yet. I will try to check in through my computer....I still prefer it for longer discussions or things I want to write...
