Who is actively admining the forum nowadays?

Hi folks, just wondering, who is actively admining the forum? Scott you out there, buddy? I ask because there is a new guy who is trying to get access to the forum and he is telling me that his account has been pending for weeks. I thought I would post here and try to help him out.

Thanks- Bart

I wondered this myself recently, but in general. I still come here daily while sipping my morning coffee and notice.... crickets. Activity has withered on the forums in the past couple of months. Did the FB page tackle the mountain and take the crown?

I've noticed it also. What's the deal with Facebook?

I really hate this new layout, so haven't been on as much lately. However, I still check all the ISUZU/VX sites, and VehiCROSS.info will always be special to me.

I'm always checking. I don't have much to post since I'm on a holding pattern with installing an engine. Its a bit cold for garage work. I don't care for the FB. doesn't have things I like that the forum does.

I think the new layout is taking some getting used to for some people. I am guessing thats the slow down.

Not sure if this helps anyone or not, but I monitor this link for new posts....

http://www.vehicross.info/activity.php

Its the closest to how I used to keep an eye out for new posts in the old layout

I use this URL - http://www.vehicross.info/search.php...e=vBForum_Post

The new layout severely hinders the search function. That's because link IDs weren't transfered to this new database. I have as good (or better luck) using Google to search for information now.

One of the things I USED to admire with this site was how well things stayed cataloged and deduped. Broken links killed that "structure". Kat and Dub were as good as any referring people to the information they needed. Since last summer's conversion, that all went out the window. Where I used to check in daily, I'm down to once a week -- for the same level of activity.

It's still the best historical depository for information -- but it's WAAAY more difficult to find.



I've never been a member of Facebook. Was does it have to offer for VX owners?

AFAIK...Scott hasnt completed the transition from the old format to the new yet...
...and things here took a back seat ( rightly) .... as he was not well.

Regarding the Vehicross facebook page...

https://www.facebook.com/groups/32929439606/

Ryan.."Littlebeast" set one up..its got about 850 members..though as here, a smaller , regular active group.

Really good for quick feedback/answers...pic & vid posting and bull****ting over a cocktail :)

But, for lots of the questions raised.... people are invariably pointed back over to here for answers !

Yep, unfortunately we're missing some crucial information on here that was available before the site upgrade (how-to's, service manual). I even tried to edit my signature a while back to update the "SAS in progress" to something more fitting... I quickly found that urls were not allowed and I wouldn't be able to link my build thread anymore.

I still check-in almost daily but have been looking at the FB page more and more.

Yes indeed, I setup the Facebook group, but it is hard for me to filter out on the members request who is real and who just wants to spam the FB group. Most of the time people do reference back to this site and the wealth of information here, but it seems for whatever reason that the FB group is a little more globally accepted. If there is ever someone not added to that group just contact me on FB through a PM and I will add them as soon as I can. I don't check FB on my phone or at home, but when I am at work I glance at it on breaks.

I don't post on here as much because I am not familiar with the layout or how things work on the new system.

So getting back to my original question, it seems Moncha is not actively monitoring the forum and new user requests, nor is anyone else, correct?

Thanks,

Bart

You added me today!! Thank you.

I just sent an email about my image upload problem to the forum admin through the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of the page. I guess we'll see if anyone replies. Is Scott ever on FB?

I really do NOT want to be forced to have a FB account if I can help it. :)
