Well, I do, and tons of you do.

Doubt many noticed, but the forums actually expired about two weeks ago. And that was it. RIP antilag.com - BUT

Thanks to the generosity of Brockas, we've got another year of hosting done.

But if you've got threads/info and pics you want to save... start doing so.

Next year this forum is 20 years old. It's probably the oldest it will ever get too.

Facebook killed forums
And idiots abound

My Torana forum is still active... but few want to contribute to the hosting and upgrade costs.
Over 1m posts , 4520 members
Its a valuable resource

The RS liberty forum is still cranking, and the Telecaster forum I'm on still has something like 2-300 posts a day.

Agree with Dattoman, fb killed forums and introduced the idiots in, making it so much harder to find information. the RS page helped me so much in researching for wiring and little bits and pieces.

Haven't logged in in ages, sad to see the place in disrepair. For me Purpo was fun or the mad rush to remove the links to the file dump of all the underage Perth girls. More tangibly Carpark carnage at Antilag cruises will always hold a special spot in my memories.

Saw that plate on a Veloster a few weeks (probably months) ago in a Hillarys car park among other rides of the same model.

It also sucks that all the photos are gone from old forums now too. What with all the hosting changes and that.

You'll spend a bit of time trawling through pages of stuff in an old forum trying to find one little piece of info, and there will be a post from someone,
"oh yeah, I've had the problem before, just need to cut this wire, check out the photo below"

Bam, no photo. No point messaging as the user was last on 6 years ago.
