4x4 dying?

[Mad Manny]

And I see the moderator on that other forum has employed his fascism..........

Yes, Bogaards went & started a 4x4 related Thread on Anythingbutt4x4.cum.
Rookie error.

I find it utterly amazing that the first topical thread (ie: a thread about 4x4's) on that forum has been nuked. But again, as per my earlier post on this thread, it probably does not adhere to the supposedly more serious topics like wheelbarrow repair and male manicures.

Yes Ian, but it's also because there weren't any discussions on gender neutrality and climate change. Or male perfumes.

Ja, WTF was Bogaards thinking? That'll learn him.........

Haha, yes, it was killed. And some offtopic stuff as well.

Thanks for the feedback here.

Got some very interesting comments. On my FB page as well (won't go into those comments).

Will try and put everything together in a video. Might be a bit boring, but will see.

just don't start a topic called "Why is part time 4wd still a thing?" because it seems a lot of people have NO IDEA of how their 4x4s work and whether they in fact have one........

To be honest not really sure why a thread like that would have been nuked... No wonder it is dying...

Because the mods were implicated in it.

Hmmmm..........that was Andrew who made the comment I think?

I used to belong to a club back when we 4x4’d a lot (like I’ve mentioned earlier)

I still receive their emails with the yearly itinerary with 4x4 and overlanding excursions. I obviously don’t know how many people or vehicles attend, but I do know that I get no emails saying that certain trips are cancelled due to lack of interest.

I think it’s safe to say that 4x4’ing and overlanding within that club is still healthy. At least it seems that way

[Jadranko]

to add on what Mike Nel wrote,there are hundreds if not thousands of fellow 4x4ers out there that do things and visit places
and never write about it as they are not part of any club or forum.

Seems as if Joe has been learning from Chas.

fixed:
3rd rule of acquisition which clearly states:
"any person watching 3 videos related to 4x4 vehicle,trail,overland setup...etc
shall get one real trail visit credit".
however it should be pointed out that
"credit is only valid if videos watched within 1(one)calendar month"

personally i would add clause:
"any person writing 10 posts on any platform that mentions word e.g"road,bakkie,pressure,solar,gloves,swahili ...etc" in any of sections must be
awarded same."

For once, even through the haze of dope smoke that presumably accompanied this post, I almost understand Chas' point.

The sage hath spoken...
