Mine coincided with the death of a PC and the loss of a job. Was nearly two years before I was online again (other than urgent stuff at the library). Finally logged back into CS last September and it seemed like half the membership had scarpered, or got married, or both.

Only since last December. I'd already replaced the computer by then. I hate using the phone for forums though anyway, it's so small, plus I don't want to chance breaching my data limit. Laptop ftw.

Drives me round the bend. I like a proper screen and some keys.
Stupid little phone thing, with it's no buttons and tiny screen and going flat all the time.

Ollie, you're a great big silly, mi amigo
I thought it might be an American police numerical reference, like 187 and all that

Found Carr's post in 2005 where he mentions it but can't find the actual thread - he didn't trash it did he?
He trashes most of the threads. Kept changing his username and iirc he made a completely new account once but Ian might of merged them.
To be honest you could make a whole sub forum which just included threads by him, funny guy

Probably because less people come on here and more people stop coming on here. Its more of a banter forum imo and aimed more for corsa b

Surely it's stating the same fact twice - if people stop 'coming on here' then that'd equal 'less people come on here', no?

Less new people come on, less regulars come on...
I'd guess

Less people come on here - no new members
More people stop coming on here - existing members are stopping using the site
I thought you were clever Dom

I know there are still lads on here creating some super projects but for the majority of us, this site is used more so from a social aspect now rather than actually owning a Corsa.

That and parts of other posts sum it up.
People with B's are getting older, young people are buying Corsa C's/D's and as said wouldn't want to be seen in a B its now down to the dedicated enthusiasts that want to own B's a bit like Nova owners, you don't see many Nova's on Nova's on the road unless there is a car enthusiast group having a meet somewhere or its that time of the year known as PVS etc.
Imagine being on the Chevette owners forum lol

Site used to be booming. I've made quite a few good friends over the years.
Admit i had a lot more time when at college and uni.
The whole site is probably due a refresh - not much has changed over the 10 years i have been here - i.e. needs to work with phones and tablets.
I have recently created an account on Corsa-C but it will never be CS
My Corsa is coming out the shed soon hopefully and i want to get it out to play.
