Come back to R3V:)

[e30austin]

What do we have to do to fix that; while I am on FB I can't find anything; maybe I don't know how to look for items;)
But this forum has saved me tons of money and time....it's time to come back....hey austin and others where are you? People from Idaho where are you?

hi John, i still lurk here from time to time but just don't have much input these days. between working three different jobs, trying to keep an early 1900s home from falling down, and taking care of my grandparents, i have very little time for much of anything. after 15 years of ownership, my red e30 is going to it's new home at the end of the month. this forum gave me my start for my career and my red car taught me so much about old car ownership, but change is necessary - and good.

and yes, to echo every other sentiment, Facebook sucks but it's unfortunately where all the masses congregate these days. i'm afraid there is no changing that. luckily, the real information that most people seek, is still very much out there, if you know where to look.

Hey Austin: Did you make it to the e30 picnic with the m3? I am cutting back too; going to sell the e21 and work on the 323i Hope to take it to the e30 picnic next year....we will see.
I just don't want this forum to disappear like so many others, I just don't like FB, too hard to use. Of course once I try to put pictures on here I might find this forum is too hard to use:). Hope you have a great summer, it is sure hot over here in Boise!!

The simple fact is evident here. Lots of people complain about FB but how many of you continue to use it? Its a number greater than zero and as long as thats the case this problem will always persist.

I dont have FB and dont give a sh!t about the 'missed opportunities' on Marketplace.

My dumbass threads will continue here and on the other forums... and youtube lol

I think you would be extremely dangerous if you had access to FB marketplace. Probably a new car every other week.

LMAO yea probably

[iXBeater]

I say this too. This forum vs FB is way better.

100% - I have no intention of making FB the primary way I hang out with the E30 community (or any other for that matter) unless it's the only choice.

I wander by every few days. The E30s sit in the barn while life zips by,
but there's always a vain hope there'll be time to work on all these projects again.
Meanwhile, more projects keep piling up, and some of them
(like fixing a leaking roof) always seem to keep the E30s in the back of the barn.

one of these days...

Checking in!

All the early 2000s join date members see these threads, pop in and then radio silence until someone else starts a similar thread 5 years later lol

I have hope for forums tho. There doesn't seem to be a new social platform that will fill the void when facebook really tanks.

reddit really wants to own that space.

Yeah, but I don't want their app to view their "mature" content.

I think r3v should become the hive of scum and villany it used to be. It's there's one thing that draws a male crowd, it's a little T&A. Now that the audience is largely older, maybe married, it's probably twice as true.

But honey, it's just a car forum!

[MrBurgundy]

You're right.

The formatting of a continuous thread there is trash, like facebook. Reddit arguably better- marginally.

The crowd on facebook seems to be better. It's been a while tho. I remember the e30 crowd on reddit being insufferable.

Toast is right too. The vibe got too serious/boring here and it's lame, to me.

I get people come here for information, but I remember being on here like it was instagram or some shit. It was a good time. Laughing, learning, getting shit on ect ect.

There should be two arrows available before you click on the thread. One takes you to the last page and one takes you to the last post you've seen. That helps speed up navigation.

ooooo thanks. i love you.

[roguetoaster]

ooooo thanks. i love you.

Your thought made me wonder if r3v was just a bunch of horny haters in the real heyday. Yet slowly we became the guys with newer cars, houses and $$$$$$.

Bring back abject jealousy over what others have, and r3v will rise.

Oi. Life, and time are funny.

Think back to what you actually had when you joined.
