Why are car forums dying?

As a lurker on here I find this forum very interesting as due to ill health I cannot do what I used to. It has given me the motorvation to actually get one my projects Done. i find it fasinating reading as to what people do and the effort and have learnt a lot.
There are too many posters to thank,( but to name a few grumpynorthener,georgeb,sweetpea,grizz)but for all the posters please continue in the knowledge your time and effort is appreciated.

Thanks

I don't want to deviate too much from the thread's core subject but the classic / retro movement has a whole is the driver for the many related forums being in existence in the first place - whilst you may have noticed a decline in certain areas such has some areas of the VW scene these are merely trends - it happens in all markets where certain subjects become the thing to own / have / style / desire - it happens to a greater extent in other markets such has fashion but the classic / retro movement is also subject to trends - some larger than others - currently the classic Ford scene is very hot especially with anything that has go quicker badging / sporting heritage - equally you will find that the 80's / 90's market is very quickly expanding hence physically enlarging the market / audience / movement - You don't have to look far for the evidence either with dedicated magazines appearing, classic car auction houses now adapting and holding dedicated 'Modern Classics' auctions at regular intervals - smaller ends of the market are also impacted with classic vans & commercials now being quite sought after - the general demand for vintage / retro styled events in the last few years have lead to a demand retro / classic style catering truck conversions and on it goes - you will always see market trends and what might have been the classic / retro to own 10 years ago is probably not has popular now - it does not mean that it's disappeared off the face of the earth either it will still be out there making up the numbers of a every growing movement.
