How do you know they’re dead if you rarely go on to these forums? There’s a really dead one and there’s a half dead Australian one. This one is full of a bunch of bottom feeding ass munchers but it is alive and well
Because as the time to buy has come closer and closer I see threads started and replied to less and less. Also, when I was first researching I noted how slow the forums where. (MAYBE a topic a day, lots of no new topics for days at a time.)
I agree with the FB comment. I only have an account to talk to my family from time to time, since they're scattered across the US. I visit that site about once a week, and most FB Fiesta ST posts are people posting up pics and saying how much they love their cars. Great, but really not a 'forum.'
Keeping in mind I don't blame the forum too much in the lack of life. The car is dead, and it will only get worse as time goes on. So be it. It's the same with my motorcycle. It stopped being made in 2014, so forums are slowing down and down. Oh well.
