The members come and go and as new ones arrive, they need teaching by the folks that haven't left yet but are still excited and have fresh knowledge to share. It is a cycle. Not a bad one really.

Maybe I am burnt out on cars overall, but I can't say that I would enjoy explaining how to time cams or adjust valves 18 times over and over in a decade. Some of them do vlogs to document their work, which I find a horrible way to follow something technical. I have seen some really basic video being made and everyone being so excited now knowing how to change the oil on their 993. Really!? But that's how it is done "nowadays". Folks also claimed that you can't find anything in the archives and that they are back to square one in a lot of ways.

It makes sense to me, the forum is like a workshop with people coming and going and it is easier to teach each other than go back to the workshop manuals (or notebooks of people long gone). Maybe manuals are really the last resort these days.
