VAGweb - for enthusiasts of everything VW, Audi, Skoda and Seat

It seems everyone and their Nan has a forum these days so it’s rare for one to become as popular as VAGweb in such a short space of time.

What more could enthusiasts of the VAG (Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, Seat, et al) scene want but a friendly meeting place where they can swap ideas, get technical help and enjoy a bit of friendly banter.

If the Cheers bar was a forum, I think it would be something like VAGweb - it’s got the bartender with a funny shaped head, a grumpy Scot at one end of the bar like Dr Crane and some fat bloke at the other end. All it needs is a bit of Kirsty Alley in her younger years and it’s got it made!

So what has made VAGweb so popular? The success could be down to a few things:

• The alternatives are a bit too dry with Nazi-like moderators
• The site as a hobby instead of charging a membership for premium services
• Other sites are *too* niche and need to cover a broader range of topics
• Other sites are based on stale forum software with admin unable/unwilling to commit any redevelopment time

So maybe VAGweb isn’t that good after all, it’s just the competition that are slacking. The true test of a forums worth is if it’s still around in a couple of years, so only time will tell.
