If iam reading that right its a real shame we will not get to see this fascinating project finished. Thanks vagvas its been a great project. Dan You know Dan...I felt really bad when I saw your post. I think i might owe some explanation at least because someone is thanking me and because I'm a bit "Old School". For me personally, the shown interest is the main cause to kick my ass and post on the forums. Last time, almost 2 months I saw no interest about my thread. Some time ago it happened the same. I just don't like to chat and post on a daily basis on the forums for everything that comes on my mind just to keep my thread on the first page hoping for more likes. I work on my car every weekend and I post if someone keeps regular interest concerning my progress. That's the price and my profit. That's why I signed up on the RR board. It seems I might have deluded myself thinking this forum is mostly for real performance tuning projects. Indeed, there are 7-8-10 build threads I liked a lot. I have to stop now, because I don't want to tire the people over here with my boring posts. Thank you too! |

I think you mistake lack of responses for lack of interest and it's very easy to understand Your work is excellent - way ahead of what I can do You post plenty of pictures and they clearly show you have thought about what you are doing You don't post much that would cause any reader to ask a question or even try and answer one So in that respect it's not a thread that is going to generate a lot of dialogue However that does not mean that it doesn't generate interest and that no one is following it...... I plan on nominating the car for "most anticipated of 2017" - provided it's not finished before then Oh and you'd have to have a very busy thread to keep it on the first page here..... seriously it's a very large forum with a lot of very intersting cars.... |

I'm always lurking, reading the latest update when i get the little notification in my Bookmarks.
I haven't responded to any of your posts yet for the reason bstardchild ststes above, there's plenty pictures and as they say, a picture is worth 1000 words so i don't have any questions : )
I hope you do keep giving us the updates. Its right up my street and you don't see many builds like this!
Keep up the good work dude.
* 7,768 views isn't too shabby either! twice as many as my v8 volvo!!

one aspect of writing this thread that you have missed is that it will become a historic document online. people are going to be reading it in a year, in 2 years, 5, 10, 20 years and it could prove to hold some useful information or inspire someone in the future who has similar plans.
overall, whenever i read these threads, even when they are 10 years old, they breed confidence, spark the imagination and give positive examples of human ingenuity.
keep it up and stop worrying about being popular lol : )

This is a busy board, if you post a lot, it keeps your build post at the top of the pages, but if you don't update it, she stays pages deep because this board/forum is thriving with tons of awesome car guys and their builds. I love to post about my own stuff but when there's nothing really interesting going on, I pop in and see what everyone else is doing. This is a cool build, this Lada. I'd never seen it until it ended up on the top of the list today. This place has lots of stuff going on, all great- including yours. Keep posting as it develops, people ARE reading it. |

I don't usually post much here, but belive me, this is a great build thread!!!  I tend to post like you are, explaining and try to post good pictures on every board I'm on, I have very few replies in my threads, because of the reasons the other ones posted above. With good explaination, there are very few questions to be asked. I also tend to think no one is intrested, but every time I say so, people post that the indeed are following the thread. Reminds me, I need to post up my Capri project here soon to get my mojo going... |

Well said that man. I try very hard not to go wondering about the forum saying nothing but nice work, sweet idea, nice work, as i feel like I'm not making a real contribution just boosting my post count, i don't get alot if comments on my thread, mostly because its a boring car that was only made for a couple of years that nobody wants and i like you don't post content very often asking how to do stuff, i tend to document my build as i go along. What i do is watch the view count if i get a couple of 100 views evety time i post then its beeing looked at. I truly hope you come back and read these comments and change your mind as this forum will be worse off if you do decide to leave and i love what you have done/are doing to your lada. Dan |

I'm also a follower of this build. I've also had an extensive build on here myself. And I had the exact same feeling several times: feeling like doing your best to document your journey for others to benefit from and for yourself to gain mojo from, only to find no replies to what you post.
I too had to learn that on this forum the number of times viewed says more than the number of responses posted. But I also found that it helped me to just open up and say that publically in my thread. I now get more replies as well, even if it's just a short "great work" or "lovely job" or even "I'd have done that so and so...".
But it's true, the clearer you document what you do, especially if there's no public opinion/help asked throughout, the less people are inclined to comment. Myself included. Although when I read something that pushes the right buttons for me I sometimes do challenge a choice or offer "advice".
I admit, I still thrive on replies as well. They help me stay motivated and feel good or help me think about things in other lights. But half the battle is making known you appreciate replies. You now have and you can already see it has spurred a surge in replies. And yes, sometimes response may be delayed a few days and suddenly it's like a bomb went off and you have loads to read (andrespond to).
My own thread has come to a slow now the car is nearly done and the weather is not so much encouraging me to do the finishing touches. So I now have to do with less interest from the forums, but I now realise that this does not mean that the car is forgotten!

Guys, your last posts although supporting, made me look dumb. Have to admit, you have your very good points I didn't thought about when I decided to cease my contribution here. I'm very happy to see so many kind and polite people on an auto forum. Before I countinue I just want to clear few things. I'm definitely not aiming at the "first page" of this board neither at "the most popular thread" prize.
My next update is comming soon!
Thank you all!

I'm definitely not aiming at the "first page" of this board neither at "the most popular thread" prize. You aren't dumb and to be honest your perception is understandable - especially if you are coming from a more "focused" forum background like a one make/marque/model forum base For instance for me coming in here from an 80's Opel forum - I wanted to understand initially why I couldn't read all of the new posts in the 15 mins I had free of an evening - I could do it with the Opel forum and probably answer a few too!!! When I recognised that things were going to pass me by and unless I had 24 hrs of free time spare in the day I was never going to scratch the surface of what was going on I started to relax a little. It's not "how much you can read" it's what you "chose to read and the quality of it" Things like the awards that RR do every year go a huge way to raising the threads that have gone unnoticed I think georgeb and myself swap bookmarks at that stage every year  Can't remember if he's commented in this thread or not but I've tagged him now so he might find it interesting Edited to add - checked and he found the thread before me My next update is comming soon! Thank you all! Waiting |

I'm on a fairly recent UK Range Rover forum (set up by banned members off RR.net ) and there, purely by membership numbers, posts linger around a lot longer so people get the chance to see and comment. Here, they disappear off the front page quicker than a Tondo rat down a drainpipe! As bstardchild says, for people dipping in and out, it's easy to miss a thread completely especially for those on different time zones, and there's quite a few, you could post in your morning and it's on page two by the time I get up! 100% agree on the awards, it's amazing the stuff you've missed that suddenly pop up as a nominee. If only for this alone, it's a good reason to support their continuation. Keep those updates coming, there's great work so far. |
