This forum barley gets any action unlike the w211 forum that one always has new posts

I'll take a stab at it. Maybe because there are a boatload more E-class owners than S-class?

Just sayin'

So there's more 7-Series owners than S-Class owners? Because I honestly find the Bimmerfest E66 forums much more active..

It's because everyone here moved to the 221 or switched to the AMG's. But the 211 forum is the home of the 5.5 Kompressor.

In 07-08 it was pretty damn active here

great Q!

I've been sitting here asking myself that verysame Q since joining here last fall - in fact - I just lobbed 'that' motzaball @ MartyMBdude last night... he had some insight on it, maybe he'd share as it sort of went over my head (something to do w/ Internet Brands).

this place is an unfortunate SNOREFEST

and the AMG forum is no better, that place is a ghost town as well

tho I'll sadly say - post a boomin stereo or blingy wheel thread and that'll get plennnnty of action 8-/

I'll also say... it's your own (collective) fault.

Seriously.

Example... I posted yesterday about installing my lowering links, even some pics. 243 views thru this a.m., with one guy w/ an EClass saying "cool" and some Charlatan "Bruse" something or other (hahahaha) chiming in... that's it.

really folks?

243 views... 2 replies... one of which is a friend of mine?

pretty pathetic

so, not trying to be a d!ck but the other 241 of ^you^ can blame yourselfs

and "I've given up and go to W211" or whatever is sooooo not the answer... c'mon guys

I'll hugely agree that the other forums I belong to are lively, fun, active. Basically the polar opposite from here unfortunately.

Sad part is I find myself lingering on Audi forums even tho I sold my car months ago... the community is tight, there's a ton of DIY'ers a ton of gamers, and we have a general good time busting on each other.

Wish some of that camaraderie would find its way here. I tried to liven it up around here and it's either crickets or complaints that the 'fun' is "too confusing".

Thanks to the handful here that do post and do try, kudos for that and please keep it up (as will I). The rest of you? Kick it up a notch wouldjya???

Guys... we... can do better. Yes? Make me proud, men...

few people mod these cars. Most people either get their cars fixed or know how to diy themselves.

What did you want to talk about? A standard s430/s500 is not much of an enthusiasts car.

wow - really?

a pretty sad perspective... you really just don't get it then

On the A8/S8 forum I'm on... the A8 isn't exactly "much of an enthusiasts car" either - those guys are very active.

s5benzo... Designo S600... PICS!!!!!! 8-)

thanks for chiming in - good to 'meet you' - be great to see you post here forward

why is it sad? Its a nice used luxury car, but there just isn't a hell of a lot to talk about.

so you tell me, what do they talk about in the A8/S8 forum?

Beautiful interior. I love two tones Take a look at my dad's Individual BMW..we're almost matching

It's probably not helping I'm using a BMW to continue activity, is it?

Like I said before an online forum is just like a hospital:
Most people come with issues, from this perspective, less active is a good thing;
Not too much people come here for plastic surgery either, as W220 owner has less interest on mod the car than Honda's.

I come to W220 forum daily but seldom post now. Because I fixed most of my car's issue.
By the way, I don't hate to keep the car stock.

Thanks.

Howard
