Default what became of Prospeeder

I have not seen any posts or responses from Prospeeder in several months. I always appreciated his comments. Seemed to really know his stuff. Anyone know if he has left Audiworld?

After this thread "https://www.audiworld.com/forums/a6-.../#post24855341" I don't blame him for hanging low, the forum is about 98% Free Tech Support for passer bye's anymore that contribute nothing.

Hope he's OK and well though.

The forum is quite different now a days. Could it be that these cars are old and mech-savvy members moved on to other models / makes?

Well, I am no super star but still here. Just pitching in when I can... yeah, lot of drive-bys...

Yep and the drag about it is some of them really can't afford these cars and nothing's cheap, I wish I could write off the help that's been offered at least...tax time you know. Just kidding we do what we can.

Agreed. 15 years is longer than most are willing to give a car. The new owners are looking for cheap fancy old wheels. Not interested in long haul. But how many would be? Not really practical. I imagine Prospeeder has moved on to less old Audi models. He knows his stuff.

I read a DIY site for home improvement when I need. There is a moderator there that I have seen for 15 years or so. He is still answering the same questions he did I the first time I was there. Can't imagine that amount of patience.
