Is It Me ?

[toyroom]

Is it me, or is interest in the website waning? When I first joined, there would be ten responses to every post in the first two days. Why has it slowed down so much? Hell, even Teigan's gone quiet. Without contributions, the forum is as dead as a V8 with a busted cambelt! Can we change this at all ??

I think that most of the Esprit owners now have moved to LEW Forum. But youll always get lurkers here

[superdave]

I've noticed that too. I mainly post on LEF now.

[ErnestM]

Still here. (I would be, though)

I've thought about creating some Wiki's for this forum so that everyone can contribute to a brain trust of information about the Esprit (parts availability, service problems, how-to's, etc) It would also allow everyone to contribute their ideas on a truly shared basis.

The good thing is, the IT infrastructure is here that guarantees availability of the data now and into the future (PistonHeads is not a "two blokes in a shed" operation and is now owned by a rather large publisher)

Anybody think that would be a good idea?

There's a wiki on LEF, too!

i always lurk here, its my internet 'watering hole'

[autocross7]

It has def. dropped off. I know a lot of folks hit the yahoo group now... but I find that format to be a real pain in the a$$ and I do not think I could even sign in due to the amount of time I have not looked at it.

Not sure what the deal is - politics I am unaware of? a general dis-interest in Esprit cars these days? Everyons car is perfect and running better than new?...

I have not a clue.

Drive topless!!!

maybe the general level of knowledge has gone from 'nil' to 'some' and people know what to expect having read up and had all their questions answered. now they just post when something new crops up.

Could be lack of news about the Esprit replacement as well. Lotus should really get their finger out and leak some details. It would animate a lot of forums on the net.

We have a wiki too, and a garage where you can show off your car which will be up and running in the next couple of weeks!

i mostly post esprit related stuff on LEF
and then ill be on PH for general chat....

i recently had a problem and decided not to post it on here, as it would take people a long time to give a decent answer.... on LEF i had lots of replies within the day.

I joined LEF last november when I got my GT3. Its a great forum with tech help almost 24h a day due to the esprit family being spread all over the globe and willing to help on LEF. Many local esprit groups have formed on LEF and go to regular meets/drives/hoons via the events board on LEF and this means it becomes a real as well as a virtual community. You must have all read about the bigsi project this year and that shows what the guys and gals on LEF are about, all 100% genuine (cant guarentee that some of us are not bonkers thoughy!!)

There is plent of banter on everyday too in the general chat, with everyone welcome to give their opinions. Politeness is the watchword and cussing is kept to a minimum. Sign up and give it a go and post a few threads in LEF and join the biggest and most active esprit community (madhouse at times) in the world.

regards

Alex
