What OGs are still here

HERE still...........

[ennui_delphian]

I'm here for the circlejerk?

[Clay.0]

I noticed the big drop off of activity when the forum switched to vBulletin from ZeroForum in May 2010.

It took some getting used to.

There is some info on the site statistics here

http://www.statmyweb.com/site/forums.vwvortex.com

And it shows the big decline in traffic in 2010 and that it hasn't ever really recovered.



But with that said, I'm still here.

I have also noticed this.

[spdfrek]

I don't even lurk anymore. I spend most of my time in OT now.

[ShavedRabbit]

I haven't been here as long as some of you but i tend to stay away from posting anymore. I have noticed that there aren't alot of familiar names anymore.

i agree, this place is really slow as of late...i think the mk2 scene in general is getting kinda old, not many people who really love these cars as much as youngsters who are trying to keep basically pieces of junk running as cheap dailys until the can afford something better....

Thats sort of what i noticed. I actually dont own one for the first time in 12+ years... feels weird

Yeah thats pretty much when i quit coming here. I was an advertiser at the time and was never compensated for the down time when the site crashed. When it came back up and things were dead they tried to say that everything was the same and wanted me to pay the same RIDICULOUS amout to advertise.

Thins out the tards? Then what is up with all the kids and the busted cars with build threads? lol

Do people still put money in mk2s? Sure doesnt seem like it..

[revolution_Jd3]

like bad brad said... youngsters just trying to keep there "cool kid hip cheap" car running. Once its dead, they buy a MK6 if they like the brand, and we never see them again. yay!!!! It would be interesting to see actually a % on how many build threads get finished.

[Greensteeldragon]

im still trying to find some OEM+ parts went from a mk2 gti to a mk3 biggest mistake ever back into a mk2 Thank God

[steveo27]

This place isn't fun anymore, nor is there anything interesting going on thread wise.

[greenraVR6]

not sure which threads are more ridiculous these days, the "og's looking for fallen homies" threads or the "how can I make my mk2 cool" threads...

I've been driving modified mk1's and mk2's for close to 15 years now with no knowledge of vortex until a handful of years ago. This place has been cheesy from the day I joined so just assumed it always has. Must of missed out on the hay day around here but it's pretty dumb how some of you bash people just cause they weren't on this website back in the day

sorry for adding my bio to your thread, I'll go back to being nobody now

[uknowho008]

[mk2fu]

mk2s are getting older, and more difficult to take care of, just thinning out the herd of the people who dont have the love to build and keep them going. the real mk2 guys will keep dicking around withh these cars.

Nobody is bashing anyone. I simply didnt understand the bios... it would be like asking for pictures of red cars and people posting green cars then getting mad when you say you are looking for green cars.

I see not much has changed...

What he said.

I stopped coming into the MK2 forum, when I got into the PAOM forum. Now I barely go in there... maybe it's time for another visit.

i sold off everything i had, got an e46 and havent looked back. I hardly go on any of the forums anymore unless its to follow up on jobs.

[8V Fury]

Im a OG, I lurk more, and sometimes post up info or answer a question someone post. Also people have not come back due to people like ass's and e-thugging. Started becoming a bitch fest and complaining too. No matter the way you look at it some people have made the forums not worth coming to.

[Seax_Smith]

This place is deeeeeaaaaaddddd... looks like vortex's treatment of its members has finally caught up to them. Who is still around???

What does this have to do with Mark II's? (or, want some cheese for that whine, or maybe some help finding your friends?)

No Mark II content = Delete thread

[spdfrek]

No Mark II content = Delete thread

It does now.

[gtidaddy]

lol.. ill be sure to do that

starting trouble i see ron.

I hate circle jerk threads like this, started by self proclaimed "OG's" who in reality stopped coming on here after multiple threads about taking money and not delivering product for months on end

[vr6swap]

Still here despite Cherise Roberts best efforts to have me banned.

And if you haven't been a Vortex member for at least ten years then you ain't OG, so stop claiming.

Right.. because not having a mk2 couldnt have anything to do with it. Its obviously because we had upholstery jobs run over. Not jobs that we ripped people off on, just ran over a month or two...god forbid. I had to run

Add in the idea of dealing with broke dbags like you and its amazing that i could stay away..

Im not sure if thats been towards me but ive been here since 01...

It does now.

what shifter set up is that?

[spdfrek]

what shifter set up is that?

Its out of a 08 Rabbit with the shifter mounted on top of the tunnel. The height worked out perfect. Just had to make a new hole to run the cables through.

[_a2coupe2a_]

so are you running a mkv swap or just steal the shift set up from one?

[spdfrek]

That car is long gone. The floors were crap, found out when we went to put the cage in. It was a vrt. Used the mkv shifter to try it out.

[spdfrek]

Yup. It was the dirty whore of our group. At one point or another either I or two other friends owned it. I still have my other monty with the 1.8t in it though.

Yup, totally broke. How about those Happich popouts you were going to sell me, in what was it, your 3rd part out thread? Biggest time waster ever. A month of PM's and no responses. Last I heard was when can you come get them. Sweet. Thanks.
