    Still here, hate facebook.
    young people prefer using new technology, so we're getting older

    The belgian escort forum died completely since a while due mostly to social networks.

    I'm still here. When I joined in 2010 it was my cousin that recommended TS to me, he said I can't believe you've never been on there.

    I don't do Facebook at all either.

    Re: Who's still about on here ?

    The combination of Facebook and Photofuckit ransoming everybody has killed off a lot of forums.

    It is really unfortunate as a lot of information is tied up in photos and posts that people can no longer access. Red X's don't help anyone.

    The other downside of facebook is the lack of a search function, and a general lack of detail, ie, no threads, little structure, no builds etc.

    It's great that this forum has managed to survive and credit to the forum builders/hosts/platform that pictures and info have been hosted in such a way that they are still accessible.

    I'm still here and competing regularly in my Escorts

    I'm on Facebook but find "discussion groups" very difficult to follow on there - with the lack of structure and search function, it's difficult to know what is new or old!

    I'm still here, even though I haven't posted much in the last few years.
    Mostly reading older posts, so I don't ask questions that have been asked before.
    I love the site, and consider it a great resource.

    we need a new generation of restorers posting. ive been involved in modifying cars for over 30 years now, it seems most do one or two cars then move onto something else altogether.

    Although I do the facebook I still come back here regularly. It has been the best forum over the years and ive taken huge inspiration from the cars on here and made some good friends.

    Ive just finished another escort build so looking forward to getting out and about this summer.
