I've been thinking for a while how quiet the Aussie forum has been and I agree with sentiments above - it just seems to happen from time to time. I frequent 3 other forums on a daily basis and they all provide valuable info as well as the occasional laugh and I've made friends through one of them, as I have here. But all forums experience this at one time or another.
The difference with this forum I think relates to the demographic of most Cobra owners. Members tend to be "mature age" (over 30 generally speaking - sorry TMK!), from the "old school" where you were taught to respect your peers instead of throwing rocks from behind the safety of the keyboard.
I'd much rather the forum go quiet for a while than turn into a mess of "Off Topic" threads and random chatter - save it for the pub. Now if this place went quiet and nobody noticed, I think that'd be a
real problem.
But a thread like this, growing to 2+ pages in under a day... I don't think we've got anything to worry about.
