Dead fourm? Resurrection...

[PIDDYPLACE]

Seems the forum is dead...this saddens me. How do we resurrect it! I want an SL-i rebirth!

[rkrenicki]

Unfortunately, Facebook has effectively killed or at least severely impacted all of the independent forums out there

[thenines']

I still will not join Facebook

[ryu_haneda]

Maybe it's time to roll up our sleeves again (or in my case, again again). Life's been different these days... all the more reason to spend some more time in the community.

[thenines']

More time in the community-WBM '21 in september meet in R.I.

[hupshall]

I'm guilty - I just logged in for the first time in who knows how long. The problem with Facebook is that people keep asking the same questions over and over again - the knowledge stored in the pages of this forum need to be saved.

Glad to see this place still stands. Hard to believe it's been over 10 years since I got started posting and chatting with people here.

I'm going on ten years here-in January

You'll always be a newb in my book.

I know-less than 700 post in almost ten years on the forum

Yet, you are one of the most active members nowadays

[lord flashheart]

yeah i was thinking of getting some sl-i cards made and leaving them in the subaru section of the junk yard

[thenines']

hope you can get a meet going in the late spring/early summer 2022

[lord flashheart]

or maybe just a few members would be nice

i bought another legacy. this is like my 10th subaru. if the number of 1st, 2nd,3rd and 4th gen legacys keeps dropping, and I keep buying more, at some point I will own all the legacy in the whole world.

this one doesn't run. I'm not 100% sure why. but this legacy shall be resurrected just as SL-i will be resurrected!!

[mike-tracy]

Nice buy! My old roomate wants to sell me a high mileage Spec B, but it's not $1500 though...

[ryu_haneda]

Nice 4th gen. If I had the dough and someone was selling a 3rd gen outback sedan or a 2-door Impreza anything, I'd be tempted.

I take responsibility that the forum isn't what it use to be. I agree with Rob that Facebook is a huge player in the fall of traditional independent online forums. But I definitely should be more active and try to add and push content on here. I'm willing to listen to ideas to get some more activity back on here. It may not be like the glory days, but I'm sure we can get a couple of posts a day. We were never a forum to just have a bunch of crap posted, quality over quantity was the way.

Hello again, friend. Life happened over the past, like, 8 years. But all the same, so glad to see this place still stands.

I got a notification a year back that my SL-i hosted magazine pics were gonna be removed if I didn't sign up my account and pay to keep 'em. So I did.

This is just one of those places I remember fondly and am pleased to see is still running. Sooo... unlike what they say... you can go home again.

[lord flashheart]

Yo dude. It's been a while.
Good to see your avatar.

Yea I'm going to be pushing some new content, and try to get some subie peeps. My life is pretty hectic right now but I am making it a daily goal to log in and post once a day.

[Reason]

The formula to a successful forum is active members and quality content.

Maybe I need to get back into a Legacy. Somebody find me a fairly clean 2nd gen. ????

[lord flashheart]

^That's getting tough bruh. Seems like they are either shitboxes or not for sale...
I saw on KSL Classifieds (the most popular classifieds in the utah area) some guy in Idaho had pretty clean sub 100k 1995 Lego with some JDM bits, and he wanted 11 grand for it. ELEVEN GRAND! with a stock 2.2 and a 4EAT.

[Reason]

I was talking to someone about one not too long ago. I was hesitant to pull the trigger, it was green and 4eat

Maybe next time I shouldn't be so picky.

[thenines']

If it had a five speed still pissed that my '99 was not sold back to me 5 years ago

[thenines']

Thing with FB is, most people just post stuff to sell

[lord flashheart]

first gens are getting rare as shit, and so are the second gens. I almost ALMOST feel bad when I beat on it. I was considering briefly building an engine for the best possible gas milage and using my lego as a commuter, or building an autocross-focused shitbox but seeing as they are getting rare, I kind of want to keep it as a classic. in 10 years they are going to be almost impossible to find, so maybe I'll just keep cleaning it up and making it nicer.. or at least less of a shitbox

[thenines']

I will always miss my favorite 1st gen. wagon (the best BJ ever)

[lord flashheart]

I see what you did there.

On our sister site ( legacy central) there's an entire thread just on finding the right logo-my favorite-"because everyone loves a good BJ"
