This was the group we had made for our readers. It sorta died down but that's also because no one really posts anything. Feel free to join and we can start some discussion. Firm and I are mods on there along with a couple of the other DC guys. Good group of people...

https://www.facebook.com/groups/291856407664247

Apparently I was already a part of that and the first thing that popped up when I went there with your link was the post of some chucklehead loading patio blocks into his Merc CUV that I commented on two years ago lol

1. Honda Ridgeline
2. Facebook
3....

Troubling trend my friend :)

I still use it to keep in touch with family in Europe and military buddies....I don't mind it. Take my info Daddy Zuke!!!

Lol...he's already directing HPD accessory ads your way...
I love it when a plan comes together.

I get lots of 'meet Slavic women' popups, based I believe on my wife defacto taking over my FB (instead of getting an account of her own) and inviting all her friends

Thanks, one wife is plenty, never mind the Cyrillic, it's not me!

This Forum is DEAD.

Way too much hostility from most of the long term and prolific posters.
Where is this coming from?  Just because people disagree with your views on the political threads?  This is a car forum, if you want to talk about world issues, I'm sure there are other places where you could fill that need.


This is a car forum?

There used to be new threads daily on cars but the membership is gone.  If you can't see that and want to take a personal shot, I have thick skin and it absolutely doesn't affect me.  But don't be myopic.  You can't see this is the case?

I mean, the lack of new members is also related to the fact that Autos.ca is actually an abandoned domain. Since everything gravitated over to AutoTrader, they've largely forgotten about the forum. I've said for a couple years now that it's a matter of someone important remembering that they've forgotten to flip the switch, and everything's gone.

I even offered a closed Facebook group for discussion and topics that already exists, but no one really seemed to be interested.

I like the car threads, general banter, and most of the people here too. I'm around for the people, and I definitely steer clear of the politics threads. Some of my closest friends and I have vastly different political views (literally, Firm is like a brother to me and I see him every week, multiple times a week, and we never discuss politics), and it doesn't matter. Stay away from topics you know you disagree on and everything's fine.
I'd join a private Facebook group with members from the autos forum.  Just point me in the right direction and I'm there.

I just wish it was not Facebook. Although I get that its the easiest solution.

Me as well as I am not on Facebook. Not that I am a big time poster or anything but I have enjoyed this forum since the early part of 2005.

I would not migrate over to that platform.

Wokeism is nothing more than the recognition and opposition of bigotry in all its forms.  Bigots are predictably triggered.

Months ago.

I know Brig has been gone for awhile.......anyone know why?

her last post (from last February) is probably a pretty good indication.........

"C’mon guys.  You saw what happened in the other thread.   That’s why it got locked.   
People are leaving this forum in droves because of the nasty horseshit and personal attacks.  It’s not a fun place to be anymore. ")       :(

Since we're in contact on a FB group, I have some idea why.  But I also know that if she wanted to make an announcement, she would have.

She came by my office a few weeks ago for a service on her CX-3 - made it pretty clear that she doesn't want to be here anymore thanks to some people.
