Some dude thinks our community is " narrow minded "

No polo section, no love from me.

Same here. No Polo = No love. I find this forum personally better for me anyway

VWW was started by a guy who ran a dairy farm in NW Tassie to share with other MK1 enthusiasts knowledge and parts as he had a GLD.

golf.net was set up by a pair of serial forum builders who establish internet real-estate gain a great deal of sponsorship and advertising before moving on to the next start up.

Which is better - well that really comes down to personal preference. I used to cross-post on golf.net but no one really cared that I was pouring money into a 1970's Golf so I decided it wasn't worth the effort just to help increase their traffic.

On the whole I am a bit tired of forums and prefer to hang out in person these days.

I like VWW because I'm a car enthusiast and am interested in all types of cars and modifications, not just a narrow selection. I've found the VWW very friendly (of course there are one or two, but they never seem to hang around long...).

This site did better in Google results when researching the Mk6 Golf so this is where I joined. No real need to post on multiple forums, and there's more than a few times I've found interesting tricks or upgrades for my car from reading threads in the Polo/Tiguan, etc sections.

Using the search function before posting is general forum etiquette anyway. Everyone's time is valuable (unless it's a quiet day at the office)

From what i have seen golf.net has it's uses for the most current golf models.
Having said that it can be abit elitest at time (why bother with mk3 golf's becasue the mk6 is superior in every way etc)

VWW is more open and with the expansion into skoda and audi members i enjoy it more as it has a whole lot of information on different vehicles.
