Why doesn't Toronto have a large car forum?

This is the first post on this forum today. I'm just wondering how the largest city in Canada with a huge tuner scene doesn't have a large general car enthusiast forum? Is is because they are all segmented into brand forums and car clubs? There are large forums in Vancouver, Calgary, Ottawa and Montreal. Why does nobody post here?

There is.

You want a large 'tuner' forum? How about the largest 'tuner' forum in canada which is based out of the GTA?



get rid of the space

Yes I came across that site shortly after. Great site.

Though the largest tuner forum Canada is Beyond.ca then MontrealRacing.com then Revscene.net as ranked by Alexa.

This used to be Torontostreetracing but after Mark P sold out the forum it got de-tuned to GTcars to be more politically correct so that there could be more vendors.

With all the pressure from cops, the scene changing this forum which is Torontos largest Forum started to die off.

Beyond is ok. Problem with MR is that even though there is an English conversion on the site its still for Montreal. GTcars is still known as Torontos forum but its just gotten quiet. People grow up, people change, people stop tuning their cars. Hell, goto the drag events, its a joke. Same people, same cars, the hobby isnt growing.

Another issue is people join and don't post. You have 10 posts in over 1.5 years. Theres tons of threads to reply to but people have no interest. People just want to troll the forums and watch 19 year old kids fight over their JDM lip kits and how they are real or fake and or who has the sickest offset. So fail. I am happy to not be a part of the JDM movement. Domestic powa

I found the big Toronto site.<snip> You need to have traffic to get traffic. People don't post because there is no traffic. PS I love how its censored lol. Not the most professional thing to do.

Thanks

You shouldn't bypass the censor, you will get banned by the current team once they see it, or warned.
And why shouldn't it be censored? Those guys are known for their spamming.

Obviously you would be pro Tek, he sponsors one of your sites

Money makes the world go round

And traffic.. gtcars > teks site still and always... community, well, thats another story.
