So is the 3g community almost dead?

I stopped by with some questions a few years ago, and this place was poppin. Now barely anything gets updated. Have most people just moved on to newer cars? I sure see a lot of 3g's in the junkyard, too bad they're all beat up. What's funny is that I haven't seen a 3g in the junkyard yet that has LOWER miles than mine, I have 271,000 miles, most in the yard have like 130-180k. But yeah, what's the deal? It's still a great car.... you think the community woudl be getting BIGGER as more people need help, more people get computers, etc.

I wouldn't say its dead, but its definately not as popular as 2-3 years ago. These cars are getting more and more "outdated" in a lot of peoples minds, so nobody is getting these cars anymore. I think most of the people left on this board are here to stay.

Yeah thats true. But im still here and I always update the accord.

doesn't look dead to me? Pretty slow these past three months though, as far as dailys. On the other hand, there have been a lot of old timers checking in in those same three months.
Very interesting point you make about the junkyard cars, I notice the exact same thing to the mile.

all i see is autos in the jy, maybe a few 5 speeds... maybe that tells you something...
lol.
but i never saw this site poppin like everyone always talks about.. kinda wish i did...

opposite for me, way more 5 speeds, go figure... you are only a hundred or so miles away.

it may liven up here tommorrow evening when everybody is home and the weather is punked,

Its not as busy as it was a bit ago...but it seems like it always goes through its slow periods..


Just gotta wait for the next batch of folks to register and start asking the flipped lid question :lol:

really roodoo? get shift knobs. and lots of them. Everytime u go to the jy just pop one in ur pocket lol.

lol yeah and the girls at the checkout will be asking if I am just happy to see them or do I have a stick shift in my pants.. bwahhh haha

most of the aftermarket companies dont make parts for our car anymore so no one wants to buy...now you cant cant some parts off honda cuz they stopped making them

I've noticed that too. I've also noticed that I have a hard time logging on to the forum myself everyday, which wasn't true 2 or 3 years ago. I think people are becoming more and more busy and involved in their lives. I know ever since I started college I don't go online nearly as much.

That is so true, In the 2 years I've been on the forum I've seen times when it's been really dead but all of a sudden it will pick up like crazy.
IDK but like toneloc mentioned since the forum goes offline so much people are just getting turned off about checking in. Myself I live on this forum and can't get enough of it

We just found solutions to all the bugs in these cars and now theres nothing to do but save money for upgrades.

I don't think it's dead at all, i'm on all the time and i've seen a number of new members. there are people on here who have very serious amounts of money and time invested in these cars. mine has been off the road for over a year in my garage,been doing serious work to it

I'm not sure, but I'm getting into it. My car has given me more headaches than most anything. I am going to get it right though, its an amazing car.

rememember things are slow in almost everything right now, with the economy and the fact it's the holidays, this is the busiest i've seen it on christmas eve in years actually.

i miss how banging this forum was when i joined.. seems like once the database error crap started going on it started dying out lol.. the cars arent dead yet tho i still see nice ones all the time infact there is a nice LX sedan up here with a sweet paint job and lowerings

your car must be carbed then if its giving you headaches lol

I think that the guys on here are so good that they are just kinda being translated into nirvana slowly. I'm hoping to get real good too so I achieve nirvana...

The 3G accord is getting old. Slowly but surely it will go from mainstream to cult following, I suspect it has already.

Dunno about in the USA, but over here if people want a cheap accord they can pick up a 5th gen. Unless you are attached in some way to 3rd gen accords then you might as well get the more modern car. They are better to own and drive. This place will never die though, cause the modern ones lack any sort of character or attachment value.

I will not miss my 5th gen Accord or Prelude when I move on, even though they are certainly better than a 3rd gen. Also I won't be buying another one of either of them. The 3rd gen I kept coming back too. If they made one with air bags and intrusion beams then I'd still have one.

part of the reason for the slowdown on here is the fact that the site is always crashing. I noticed the slowdown right after we started having major problems. it was really busy last night which suprised me on Chrismas eve, then BAM! database error.

yeah hey jdmaccordnut what you reckon zup with the database error, seems like it has slowed things down a weeble

Yeah i left for a few months and came back and i have noticed a big change in pace but I cant complain i still get answers you just have to be patient. 3Geez really is a life saver or i would have scrapped my car for 100$ a long time ago.
