[TR] Other Triumph Forums

[Greg Lemon]

Other than the aging thing and alternative lists, I think perhaps over time some subjects may have finally been beat to death.  The membership on this list, though there is some ebb and flow, stays pretty static.  It is the same set of cars being discussed for all this time, by the same group, so more and more of the conversation gets into the "asked and answered" category.  Although I am sure "car won't start, can't figure out why" type discussions will live on as long as there are British cars.

That being said I will say that the Triumph community seems more tolerant and patient with newbies though than some car communities.  When I had my brief fling with a BMW 2002 there was a small but vocal group in that community that would answer most every question with "that has already been discussed to death, please review the archives before ever posting a question again"

Back to the original question...... is Mail List activity down... 
 
My latest guesses......... 
 
New and old non members/users seeking help probably Google/search for specific models and use the term Forum i.e. TR6 Forum  Unless they specify Mail List in the search, this List won't show up or it shows up way down the list. 
 
Another  guess is that many mail list people have moved on to forums...... also.....IMHO, the majority of the Mail List posts are TR3 and, to a lesser degree, TR4 related.....most of the TR6 gang is gone and in the 6-pack forum. Same move has happened in BCF where, this morning, only 6 of the first 60 posts are TR6 related with the majority being TR2/3. As a TR6 owner I'm going to where I get the most bang for the buck and that's a forum dedicated to my model. That's not a knock on either the Mail List or BCF, it's just a fact. Miata owners don't join a generic Mazda Forum, the go to Miata.net.
