IMHO it is just how the life of things work out. Seeing the Grady and Early_S_Man does harken back to the, dare I say, "Golden Age" of these forums. Twenty years, has been a good run, and maybe the younger group (who will eventually own all of our stuff) will find another site or forum or type of social media that relates their needs, as this forum has for all of us long time users.

The failure, from where I sit, is not bringing the current crop of younger owners flush with cash to the fold.
These guys are buying cars at mulitples the price we paid for ours and have the same objective, DYI and bringing the car back to their level of satisfaction.
This current crop will spend far more money than most of us did.
The Pelican Forums represent the single largest publicly accessible database of knowledge on Pcars.
It's like the library of Alexandria for Porsche's.
