Figured I'd write a little bit more formal adios to the GP Community seeing as I still have quite a few people coming to me on the messengers and such that are absolutely surprised when they ask me if I've seen a certain post, and I tell them no because I'm not a part of the community any longer.
Anyways, yeah. I'm not going to be here, ClubGP, 3800Pro, or anywhere anymore since I no longer wish to be, and feel no need to be. The majority of the Grand Prix crowd I've known since seven years ago has already moved on by now as they too no longer wish to be apart of the community and move on to other things.
Of-course I know there are still plenty of GP 'veterans' around that know what they're doing, but as these cars keep getting cheaper and cheaper they too are getting drowned out by the overwhelming amount of stupidity flooding the forums that insist they indeed are the ones that are correct and have no real interest to learn otherwise.
No, I will not help you diagnose the problem your having with your aftermarket sound system so that you can go force everyone else to listen to your music and your rattly ass trunk. No, I will not inform you whether or not you can run 32"s on your Grand Prix without rubbing. I also won't even help you when you ask if your strobing red or blue neon lights are illegal in your state. Oh, and surprise surprise, you probably wouldn't like my reply if I did give you one anyways.
I joined this site a little over a year ago when it first started, member number seven to be exact. Thinking that this place was going to continue progressing and bettering itself with each new day. Well, wrong again. Suuuure... we have 3,000 something members now one year later which is quite impressive, but what do we have to show for it? Not a lot, that's what. Same generic 'copy and paste' layout that vBulletin provides for all of their customers and a couple of advertisements helping clutter up the page from companies that have little too nothing to do with Grand Prix's. (Excluding a obvious few) Nothing catchy, nothing important, nothing to actually keep the three thousand people that have signed up coming back to the site over and over again.
Sure, I understand some of these things cost money. Like a custom layout for one, but there is no excuse for it when you have members, I for one, offering this done for free pending approval, but it seems as if everyone is too busy to send a message out to the others and see if they are willing to receive free work.
All and all I'm happy to of been a part of the Grand Prix community for seven something years, although the majority of the people in the GP Community have no idea what they're doing, but if I hadn't had either of the GTP's I wouldn't of met Bobby (TubbedGTP), Jeff (JEFFSGTP), Shawn (Iron Indian), Tom (sra_chipmunk), the others I've met personally, and the ones that I only know quite well on the interweb.
Also, just for the record, despite the fact that I have no idea how many of you will get to read this since I also have no clue if this post will just get moved, deleted, or not... I still have my car, and will probably keep my car despite leaving the community altogether.
Later-

There are some things on this forum that bug me quite a bit but I stick around for the people even though there aren't that many "active" users. I know what you mean about nothing keeping the people here because I actually did find a local Canadian club with only 45 members but they are all active and on all the time (I was number 22). But I can't say how long I am going to be here if people keep going to that one...
