Come back to R3V:)

[2mAn]

Couldn’t agree more. FB is quick, but the info just disappears, threads here actually stick around and help people years later.

R3V’s always been the place for real answers and proper write ups. I’ve already started checking in here more again. If more of us do the same, it’ll pick right back up.

And yeah, wild there wasn’t much about the picnic on here, hopefully next year we get a solid turnout from the forum crowd 👍

Even the Bot agrees...

Most likely this has been mentioned before, but I think all the old timers and the new people should come back to R3V and forget about FB and
other on-line so called forums:). I know, everyone thinks they need to be on facebook and this is an old forum....but you can not get better help
and this forum has tons of great information....I for one am tired of dealing with FB and trying to get someone to respond:). Maybe if we all come
back this week, we can start a new trend. I can't believe there was no information about the e30 picnic on this forum...where is everyone!
So, I got that off my chest; and yes the e30 picnic was wonderful this year and the weather was the best I have seen in the last few years.
Maybe we should all plan on being there this next year and really show off the e30.

I feel like the best way to get traffic back to the forum is to make information easier to find. I do not use the book of faces, but from what I hear it is hard to find information there. So implement a better search and put stickies with the best information in every sub forum. Someone will always ask the same question that has been answered 1000 times but if they see a thread right at the top it may help.
I have been a member of this forum for decades, even before I had an E30. How often I visit goes up and down, but it's always the first place I check when I'm thinking about a mod.

I’m here!

I’m here - never had book face. If the hot girls thread gets going again, watch out! It’ll be 2008 again 🤩

[McGyver]

but hey, you DO have all the bolts, so thats good!

[Panici]

This is how I am feeling after I got my project running and driving(updates on my project thread to come). All the little details of the valence, hood, fenders, lights, interior are my least favorite parts of working on cars. I also need to sort through all the bolts/nuts to find what I need to get it all back together. I did not do a good job with organizing those, like I had with the mechanical items. Not going to be fun.

The last 10% takes 90% of the time? Something along those lines.

I really need to wash my E30… meh maybe next week

[strickland]

I’ll take an old truck over a Meta product any day.

[MrBurgundy]

this forum is basically an old truck

it works well enough

i love it

ill fix it only if i have to

i aint gonna paint it, i aint gonna wash it

The issue, like said above- posting in the appropriate sub forum yields no replies.

posting everything in the slop general forum will get your thread seen, but at the cost of being an unorganized slop trough of a repository

Idk if this was for me or not but I'll just say, be the change you wanna see. It might not yield many, or any, replies but at least it won't be adding to the problem. I'd imagine the replies would be from r3v vets though, the ones who would check those subforums, and the info would therefore be "worth" receiving fewer replies. Quality over quantity lol

I'll try to post more in subforums than parts for sale / wanted. I also need to start a new build thread. If for nothing else than to keep myself motivated lol. R3v helped me plan before buying my e30 and then helped to start getting it sorted. It's going for body work hopefully in May and then I'll be all over these forums searching for why something isn't working.

I'm only on FB literally just for the e30 buy/sell groups, but they're mostly all ass. The r3v one is ok sometimes. The "tax" seems higher in those groups than on here anyway, even for dirty garbage parts.
