Re: seems like these forums are pretty dead

Actually the site is very active, unfortunately some sub-forums are a little slower for one reason or another. there are possible reasons that this forum is slow and that could be because as time goes on there are fewer and fewer Fieros on the road and/or owners of Fieros.Certain times of the year also affect the activity on a certain forum, and maybe nobody has any issues that they'd like to discuss right now.At least there is more activity here than the Chevy Vega forum .

Re: seems like these forums are pretty dead

As what was stated, there aren't that many Fieros kicking around or people with Fieros hitting this forum. This site is very active as a whole, but when you start out at the main page and see a hundred car models to review, Fiero is only one subsection of Pontiac. A Fiero specfic forum is ***Link Removed by Moderator**** which is quite active.

Re: seems like these forums are pretty dead

Don't be discouraged, you are not alone. I also have a Fiero. Take Old Lar's advice, ***Removed by Moderator*** is MUCH more active. Being fiero-specific, there's No other activity there, and if those guys can't answer ANY question you have, then what you have isn't a Fiero!

Re: seems like these forums are pretty dead

I seriously doubt its because others refer to that other forum. I just don't think this one has that much to offer on the Fiero subsection. I check here perhaps once a month and will only see 4 or 5 new threads. *******(name removed by Moderator) has a lot more knowledgable people is all.

Re: seems like these forums are pretty dead

Wow, I can't even say ******
You mods seriously suck. It says "Advertising other forums when asked not to" not, "Don't advertise other forums" If you're going to be that anal about a forum that has 1892379182289347x the info this one does, then you guys suck. May be if you had something to offer and share information rather than trying to be elitest when you have absolutely nothing, you'd get somewhere.

There, I broke rule number 4, Go ahead and ban me, this forum sucks anyways.

Not to be rude, but I don't see where anyone was asked not to post links. You deleted the links and chastized the people, without asking them not to post the links in the first place. I hope this isn't typical of this forum.

It wouldn't hurt to work on the grammar and spelling of that rule, either. Rules are easier to follow when people understand them.

Thanks to your reply see link below:

As far as the AF Community Rules I will be happy to pass the comments to AF Administration and Igor since he wrote them.

Now lets not be hypocritical.

Only car-related banners are allowed on PFF. I also do not accept banners that link to other Fiero forums.

Banners on PFF cost US$50. Your banner will be displayed for 30 days and will be rotated with all other banners from other advertizers. Banners are visible on the sections' topic list, and in the threads themselves.
