I dunno, I rarely use it tbh. Post the odd picture but kinda given up. It is more of a hindrance to life than a positive.

I've noticed the sites been dead the last few months. The corsa B is a thing of the past now for most. Newer/better cars are much more affordable compared to a few years ago. Just a sign of the times now I'm afraid. The sites had a good run tho and lasted longer than most. Facebook is more than likely to blame with car dedicated pages now being set up and 99% of the population a member. I'm part of the 1% that's never had a FB account and that won't change lol.

I would just rebrand the site as a general forum sort of like piston heads or retro rides.
Retro tides is a fantastic forum tbh

Forums are dying in general, they are only good now for project builds, events and how-to guides. Even then Facebook events seem to be working more and more for organising clubstands.

I drive on average 50+ hours a week now, most days I see at most 1/2 Corsa b's. Just standard and battered, haven't seen a modified one for at least a year on the road

You see half a corsa b?! Bet that's a sight 
However, a lot of corsa related questions get asked in GC which subtracts from the help subforum

Corsa B's are just becoming old and crap now. Majority pf people who want to mod an old hatchback will choose many other of the hot hatches available. The more shite new corsas that come out (let's be honest, they are pretty shocking every new model) that are no where near as 'sporty' as their rivals the least amount of young drivers/modifiers are going to get one and eventually forget that the corsa used to be a massive part of the modifying scene and just become some bog standard every day model that nobody thinks about.
As for the forum, it's been discussed every year since as long as I can remember and the majority of people say it should be rebranded like Jim said. Will be a shame if and when it does finally shut down.

Forums are great for how to guides, though even YouTube appears to have overtaken that now.

I always wondered why there was a 15 day thing anyway...
Why the need to hide them away, new ones go to top anyway

Why are B's getting mentioned? Surely Corsasport caters for all corsa's? Until Vauxhall stops making a Corsa then i don't see this forum dying.

I suspect it's something to do with indexing and the arse-end of the forum; could be wrong.

I don't think it's helped that the many 'hello' threads over the here have been jumped on by a few twats and scared people off. I don't really see many new people on here anymore and that's half the issue.
Then of course we have the fact that yes Corsa's do still exist, but the modifications on a financed Corsa are alot more limited than the stuff people used to do to Corsa B's or C's.
