Default S2ki degeneration

Been surfing on her the last couple of nights for the first time in ages.

It is getting bad on here now isn't it? Especially on the main board

Most of the new users seem to have the IQ lower than my dog. And not many of the old timers are around - suprisingly.

Maybe the new forum has finally killed off the last of the old breed.

I liked the thread where the first reply was

SICK

followed by

Wicked

Can't be too long before Innit is added to the end of every reply by default.

Oh well, not to worry

BTW this non-s2000 board seems to be the best one on S2ki by a long way. Barry and his mates haven't found this one yet

I know how you feel CG. I've spent £500 on fuel in the past 22 days. And I went for a more economical beater in the 318i than the ITR.

I reckon I'm about £2.5k worse off in fuel costs compared to two years ago. Maybe I should have kept the Smart Roadster

Great job in the Formula 1 BTW. I'm still proud of my spark plug cover being made by a member of the best F1 team in the world at the moment

at Chris. Sick joke Innit

Although I do understand the concerns of the "old guard" about this forum, but I think they just need to move with the times. New people arrive on the scene and with time start to take over. No doubt that will mean a change of "language" which is not to everyone's liking, and we can ask people to avoid text speak, but as the car drops in value it becomes an option for younger people.

It's just the natural evolution of the car

I guess if people don't like it, then they can move on. There is nothing keeping them here

Yep, that's what I have been doing, but I always check back occasionally because I know quite a few people on here and it's nice to stay in touch, Innit

In which case as the new outsider, it's up to the minority to fit in with the majority

Or WGAF which is the new attitude i'm adopting.

Main board has become a bit of a laughing stock - can't see it getting any better but couldn't care less
This board is ok - been stable for a while
O/T survived an unflux of dopes - most seem to have gone now, others will come and go but generally it's stable. Shame it's dominated by IT related subjects.
Muppets has long been the lightweight of the site - that won't change either

It'll be interesting to see what happens when the numbers of surviving cars really dives

I'm not sure if me picking up another next week further harms the image.
