It’s crazy to think about how much time has passed since the good ol’ NWP forum days. Social media obviously had a huge impact on the internet forums, and it was sad to watch the posts and traffic begin to diminish. I don’t remember when the previous forum officially died out, but it feels like it must have been 10 years ago.
The thing that surprises me the most is that I still get weekly messages about the forum, or about when we’re going to have more plate frames, stickers, or hoodies in stock. People are somehow finding a way to the website to purchase stickers and shirts, and I’m still mailing out packages to this day. I’ve neglected the forum and website for so long, and somehow it’s stayed alive. It’s not thriving by any means, but it’s alive.
I got a DM from Puza last night, and he someone lit a fire under me to get me to bring back the forums. This was less than 12 hours ago, and I’m going to give it a shot. We’re not going to have as many categories, and we’ll be a little looser as to what can be posted. Other makes and models are welcome, as well as off-topic discussions. There won’t be an NSFW forums this time around, so sorry in advance. Let’s try to keep it as clean as we can.
With that said, let’s try to get as many of the original forum members back on here, and encourage the newer generation to join as well. I’d love to see what everyone is up to now, and what everyone is driving these days. Welcome back!
The amount of time and energy that we all spent on NWP made it a fun, timeless community and memory… and now it’s back. I am genuinely interested to see how this goes - it’s so different than what we were used to seeing and doing, but times evolve so let’s see!
