There were a healthy group of intelligent, mature owners that offset the immature kids. People who understood respect offset the disrespectful. And those happened to mostly be the older people. 30s-40s-50s, etc.
People like Yoda, jshcreqwerasdgn (cuzz I always mess up his name) Michael, Charlie, etc.
This forum was built on the closeness of it's members. It was more of a family (with a few bad eggs here and there) then a weenie contest.
And who have we had replace these wonderful, intelligent, mature people? jshcreqwerasdgnmmffffph! got replaced with DANINSKI.
And don't get me wrong, Daninski used to be a fairly intelligent guy. An unfortunate accident happened to him which never left him the same. Something about a laptop which caused mental trauma, now he's two steps away from "off his rocker".
The forums are going to get smaller, that's a fact. But be a small, close-knit community. Go out of your way to help someone else.
Look, we still have new members that are signing up for this site. And it's up to you, the senior members, to show an example. Make yourself a reason why you would want to stay in the community if you were someone else.
Here are some examples:
Miessau drove down from Knoxville to buy a euro bumper from me, and I ended up replacing his timing belt/water pump for no charge after telling him not to pay a shop 500 dollars to do it.
A year or so later, he came down to pick up some parts from my wrecked black RS, and I did a dash swap from 92 to 95 in a record breaking time of one afternoon. Also converted all of his goatsh*t brown interior to black, reshaped his wrecked euro bumper, put in some leather SE seats. He only paid for parts. some time later, I broke up with my long-term relationship with my then-fiancé, and he asked me if he needed to come down. That was cool.
Back in the day, Oldman drove up from Georgia to Tennessee to help me with Gro Harlem's car I had purchased and couldn't figure out. Back in my green years.
Pat down in Atlanta helped me out with some work on my RS when I came down and visited. He was really helpful (I tried to pay him back in some parts he wanted) and we had the opportunity to talk a little and hang out with him and his wife.
I flew into New Jersey, had breakfast with ukrman (a forum member I had never met personally before) chatted a bit and drove off with his car. Great guy.
That brotherhood and camaraderie is what made me love these forums. Genuine, helpful friends. Just try to be a supportive community. Show appreciation. The website isn't an extension of your ego, and each thread isn't your personal bragging corner or your own showcase.
My opinion is, even though this website looks dated and has no mobile site, it's pointless to make the site look more attractive if the members themselves suck
) Which is almost always fun! They have earned the right to brag about their accomplishments via write up/ how to guide. 
. Or the short shifter that I had to add a rubber sleeve onto my through bolt so it would sit snug. It's all about problem solving with these cars. Although, the newer generation isn't into effort as much as instant gratification. 
. And what ever happened to the MX-3.com window decals? I thought they existed but couldn't find them a couple weeks ago. I was planning on putting one on my windshield after I replaced it.
. However, your also putting a v6 fwd against a v6(?) rwd. They got more engine space to work with right off the start. In order to keep up we got to kill our fuel economy to create more power. That being said.
