I know what you mean, it did used to be really active. Ive heard that its moved to Facebook, so i joined a few of those groups but they were pretty average and not as easy to read as forums, or search for info later.
2016 MY17 Polo GTI with DA package. TMD fitted + Weather strip and Snow Screen removed otherwise dead standard.
That pretty much covers my view of it all. I live in many different places across the web and while Facebook is great for events and sharing photos everything is pretty much lost after a week. I've seen plenty of build "threads" on facebook which are great to watch as they flash by... but no one who isn't there at the time is likely to ever seen it again unlike a forum where years later people can draw inspiration! (of course I'm bias, but that doesn't make me wrong)

As I get older I have less time for forums and I don't even use Facebook. Younger people seem to spend so much time liking things in Facebook they don't have time for forums IMO. I'm 41.

I can understand the moderators need to delete some posts as the one you were referring to was getting a bit out of hand , I had made a couple of comments on the original but refrained after a while because the nature of replies from various other posters was getting a bit heated . Rules are posted on the Forum Rules section so I suppose the post may have breached the tolerance level.
Repeating yourself and posting the same complaint in many sections of the forum is not acceptable. If you need to vent your anger with whatever issue you have on your car then believe me, many here don't want to read it in long whining posts that are repeated on daily basis.

I was getting annoyed with that thread & was going to say at the time that the moderators were very tolerant & patient. As a guy once said on the Vortex Forum in the States that it only takes one or two complaining members to spoil a forum & drive readers away. As I see it, the forum is for people with similar interests to be helpful to one another.
