I built my first truck when I was 18, I pratically lived on this site. It was blowing up, there was constantly new post and crap to look at I could read this crap for hours. Just got another truck and started getting back on here again and it seems dead? Is it me or did everyone stop getting on here? Is the truck scene over or did everyone just move to another site?

 

I used to live on here after work until i fell asleep and built my first truck off of here also.
I just picked up a ss and now all the old members i remeber posting are no longer active...sad to see. they felt like a brotherhood and second family to me for awhile

 

The truck scene is still alive. 10's are average now days lol

 

It is the same way on many different sites I feel like(ls1truck, ls1tech, etc) they have all slowed down substantially. A big part is that years ago we were all pushing the sport. Guys like flaco, turbomic, purpleminivan, farmtruc, etc were all breaking records and going huge. Now the limitations of what can be done are making things tough. 8s are what's cool now. 2 years ago it was 9s and 5 years ago 10s were still super fast. Not a lot of records to break anymore. The platforms are getting harder to mod and are changing now. Also a consistently bad economy doesn't help much.

 

lots of people seemed to move from forums to facebook groups.

which sucks cause i hate fb groups.

 

I've always liked PT.NET the best always will I've been on here since the old days when it used to be part of LS1TECH but never actually joined till 07

 

I think PT.net is alive and kicking! Just check out the Projects sub section, there are some badass trucks in there...

I think since the creation of that sub section, alot of the random posts where member try to get help just get entered under thier project thread, instead of out in the open forum..

 

Shitty economy hurts all hobbies unfortunately

 

Except the gun hobby...

 

Old trucks with LS motors with younger groups with the same questions over and over without using the search options. People getting upset with it.

Parish might have set the goals back when now you just have to search what you want to know

You really have to search through the daily posts to find anything good to learn
