I wanted to create a forum to bring all vag cars into one, at the moment there are model/make specific, but nowhere really for all VAG car owners to gather in one place to share info.
The forum i wanted to create, i felt needed to be quite simple, im fed up of fancy, over graphic forums that take an age to load and have about 100 subforums, therefore mine will be simple, nothing OTT graphics wise and use only a few forums, a bit like CS.
At the moment ther is only a basic few forums, i will need to add a few more, but not many more, please also bear in mind that i havent yet moved the site to a proper hosting server, and is running off my PC, so please be patient if its slow due to traffic, or doesnt load at all.
Feel free to sign up if you wish

Also, in the Administration Panel, you should give it a Site Name in the General Admin/Configuration section, because all it says is ":: Index" in the page title in IE, which won't really help with search engines and stuff trying to find your site.
