well whats happening ?

there seems to be less and less members on here these days  :o

Seems pretty common on a lot of forums as more and more use Facebook. To me a 'focused' forum can be a lot better than random input on Facebook , plus a lot more private.

Forums get quiet from time to time.

Yep. was thinking earlier that things seemed to have gone quiet.
Will probably pick up again soon.

only really noticed the last few days as i,v been spending a little more time indoors  ::)

Even though I'm on Facebook I rarely go on it, to much nonsense plus you wouldn't get the information on there as you do on hear, so I'm staying put.

Seems to be a few projects in the pre build, parts gathering, stage at the moment. Perhaps once they get started things will liven up again.

yeah, holding patterns waiting for the silly season to pass

i am mostly in hibernation mode now till at least march. ;D

Yep, not many people posting about future events or events they've been to or new builds - winter is a time for hibernation!

I agree, there's nothing like a forum!  I spend a lot of time on facebook and it's great for keeping in touch with folks from different parts of life, but there isn't the same atmosphere as a forum.  I predict that forums will make a bit of a comeback in the next 12 months, as Facebook gets more intrusive, and more difficult to control the way you want it.

and sometimes you just run out of steam with a project,lime i have at the minute and have to gather a bit of momentum again so theres not much to post

I think you're right about the hibernation thing.
I'm a Postman, so the lead up to Christmas is our busiest time of year. At the moment I'm sorting Mail in the mornings, then delivering it until mid afternoon, then going back out with a vanful of parcels until tea time. By the time I get home & changed into my scruffy garage clothes & back out to Loony's workshop, it's too late & too dark & too cold to do anything. By the time I get home, all I want to do is get something warm to eat & go to bed.
So nothing really to report at the moment, but gathering parts for my truck, my bike & the next hotrod project. Already talking of the next foreign jaunt in the Spring though, so lots to do over the Winter.
All forums go through busy & low spots. If you check the number of forum visitors, (right at the bottom of the page), we average 20 to 30 every day, sometimes lots of members, sometimes lots of guests, (who can also be members who haven't logged in). For a small site that doesn't advertise, that's not too bad.

i'm working at the moment, up at 4.45 each morning, same as andy once home eat and sleep!!!!
rather that than sit around the house all day.

Well done for finding a job Chris -work does get in the way of the rest of your life though doesn't it!

just seasonal though. first day  realy shagged me!!!!! lol

Seasonal? Are you a pepper pot? Or one of Santa's little helpers?

at 4.45am he,s out nickin crimbo trees  :D :D :D :D :D

Ahh, a little help yourselfer.

 ;) ;) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I come and lurk here every day, but I don't have much to say at the moment. I would miss not reading this site, Britchopper and a few others.

Nice to know you're still here Doug.  ;)

Yeah,still lurking.

Yep, I come and 'lurk' most days.

The beetle build has 'stalled' a little as the artwork has taken a bit more of my time recently (but not as much as work is, unfortunately), but some progress on it will be forthcoming very soon, as it WILL be ready for spring!! :)

I'm here every day. ;)

do you feed the cat  :D

No,Just the dogs.
