Is this forum dead, wow

Yeh, I only visit here rarely anymore. Just had an awesome time in my new Pop Up.

Yeah forums dead, popups are dead. I finally got my estimate and total information on my 07 Jayco 1206 that got t-boned back on 7/13/19. Paid $2k for the rat and got $6300 lol. Goodbye camping as a norm with kids in sports now 80 percent of the year.

I also have been gone for a few years because of getting a TT but recently have gone back to a P/U and this site is really slow. Hate dealing with Photobucket and there where quite a few rude people here. Hopefully "we can all get along". Life is too short.

Agree this has become a real problem here.

I've been at the Forest River Pop Up forum as it's been the most active, but now Pop Up Portal seems the most active so I'll start sharing my time there as well.

Thanks for the heads up.

Yeh, the fighting, flaming, name calling got to be old here so I stopped visiting as much. But with moderators that can be changed so I'm all for strict moderators.

Even with the fighting here, it always was very very busy and if I didn't want to join in the fighting, I could always read what I needed and only respond to that thread. Now that's not even an option.

I got out of tent trailer life years ago but continue to check this forum out of interest. I have also noticed a diminished number of postings. I believe that part of this is the fact, perhaps, that there are fewer pop ups on the road these days. When we had one we would see many on the roads, some just like ours. Now we look and still see them but the numbers are down. What we see these days are the very large trailers and fifth wheels.

Facebook has changed things for sure but I continue to refuse to go there. There have always been rude posters and they will continue to muck things up with their attitude but most of us can get through them. I would hate to see any forum disappear. Hopefully, even if the numbers decline, we will be able to read about this great classification of RVs. Long live the tent trailer!

I too have been here since 2005.

It is slower here, but still better info then FB.
I'm on the Grand Design Forum also. Great info there, with many of the same problems,so the fixes are easier.KEN

Reminds me of something Yogi Berra supposedly said that `the place is so crowded nobody goes there anymore'. But really how many times can we discuss TPMS, or can this vehicle pull this trailer, etc.
We could really liven things up if we were allowed to talk about guns and/or politics!

Participation in the whole Open Roads forum has been declining for several years. Right now there is one page plus 5 posts on page 2 of NEWEST postings. Newest is the postings in the last 24 hours. A few years ago there would be 6-8 pages or sometimes even 9-10 pages. Moderators are not the reason for all that loss.
