Some people in this forum (no-names mentioned) have WAY TOO much time to take detailed pictures and LONG explanations of a simple question, BUT its because of the guys and gals we have here that we have such an informative and knowledgable forum!!
Thanks to ALL!!

I think it's a good source of information but I could be way much better if it had more traffic than it has now. I don't understand why, as of today, the W163 M Class forum has 744 topics and 5,799 replies, compared with the 3,388 and 35,449 of the G-Class forum, when just 1 G-Class was sold for each 5 M-Class....

The G-Wagen has been around much longer and has a much larger following than the W163 forum. The ML forum had a pretty strong start when this site launched, but over time people got busy, sold their trucks, and eventually had no time left.  |

Asian - Not sure if that is the case. If you look at Mbnz they still have tons of traffic for the w163. I am thinking it is because the limited amount of traffic we see.
If people knew we had WIS postings for the W163, I am sure we would see more traffic / users / posts. Or people people just come get the WIS info and leave... |

I think that this is a pretty lame excuse considering the amount of Gs made worldwide (less than 200,000 units both military and civilian in 28 years), which is like two year's production of the ML!
GWagen owners also get busy, marry, have kids, divorce and yet they still have time to devote to the G.... |

I have found lots of info both here and at the other three forums, although P3 seeems to get the least traffic. The WIS postings are useful. I also like to use the W210 forum as I am considering one. Anyone think it's a bad idea? |

There may be less G's in the world, but my other post was meant to highlight the history behind the G and perhaps why it has such a large following. |

Or people people just come get the WIS info and leave... I'm sorry but I am guilty of what you stated. I come here often to see what is going on and have used the WIS postings by Pete and Wolfgang -- Thanks again Pete & Wolfgang. I very seldom start posts and only comment if I think I have information that can help someone otherwise I try to stay out of some of the more "active" or "heated" discussions.

Mike's ML - Yup... I started those threads thinking it would drive people to want to come here... I guess it did, but it didn't make people want to stay..
EDIT: Now looking back at all the work Pete has done with the WIS and what not I think it is out of this world that people don't use our website. Especially the W163 forum. We have a "Known Issues" , "User Mods", "TSB's" (Though most of the links are dead now thanks to all data subscription), and of course "WIS".
Most of the questions asked on benz world can be answered here... I guess the issue is that it can be answered here without even asking a question..
