I think a number of years ago there were a number of big personalities that went with the cars, and their wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm had a significant driving force behind the forum. I think (I could be wrong admittedly) there was more emphasis on going for lunch on Fridays and meets, etc. Even when 'RW bought the churro place he invited people down, I wandered in a few times even and I guess it felt more of a community.
Maybe it's because I no longer live in Perth that I'm missing these kinds of things, but I just feel it's more of a car specific forum than it used to be.
tl;dr - times change and so does the membership.
