I like to think of this forum as a place to talk to old friends and meet new ones, not just a place to gather information and parts. Maybe I have the wrong idea. I talk to friends here and elsewhere about all kinds of stuff.
Personally, I don’t have specialized friends: this friend is just for talking about cars and that friend is just for talking about cats, etc. Sometimes a friend just needs a place to vent, or has experienced a traumatic event in their lives and needs a little support from their friends.
I have learned a lot here from different people. I actually enjoy our differences. Since we are all passionate about our cars, sometimes things flare up and get emotional. But, I have seen much less of that in the Current Events section than others.
I think the loss of the Current Events section would decrease the overall value of the site, but that is just my personal opinion. I guess I can go to multiple forums to talk to my friends. It would just be easier if they were in one place. This is a great site filled with people who share their knowledge and experiences in working with "e bodies". I just think it can be more than that.
