Canada Audi Forum Q & A

For those of you in Canada looking to connect with other Audi enthusiasts, check out Canada's largest Audi forum.  I found out a little bit about the forum through Rick P., one of the moderators.  Read the interview below...

1) How long has the forum been active?

AudiForum.ca was first launched around March 2006 by Daniel Sitar. Within that same year AudiForum.ca was acquired by ForuMedia Inc, revamped, reskinned and restaffed. It took some time to make AudiForum.ca active with regards to users and posts but that was achieved by a small group of very active users who joined.

2) What are the most common questions/threads in the forum?


Lets start by saying the most active areas of the site are:
the Audi A4 section here http://www.audiforum.ca/audi-a4/ & the General Audi section here http://www.audiforum.ca/general-audi-discussion/

When it comes to questions, the most common are trouble shooting questions of all kinds. That is what makes AudiForum.ca very unique. It is that willingness of the users to assist others in making their Audi experience enjoyable.

3)  Are there many members who are based outside of Canada?

Oddly enough, the majority of our traffic comes from the US followed by Canada in close second. The moderators and admins have talked about this before, how could we be attracting more US based members than our own Canadians? We attribute the growth in both the US and Canadian market to the friendliness of the members of the site. Egos are checked at the door, anyone can join. It is our passion of Audis that brings us all together.

4)  Are there any special events in Canada that Audi enthusiasts get excited about?

AudiForum.ca is blessed with having some active Audi clubs based within the site. Since there are a few clubs I will only reference the most active, Golden Horseshoe Audi Club. Each month the club has actively been promoting unique events such as Free Oil changes and or BBQs at sponsor shops. One of my personal favorite events that I attended was the Krown Lakeshore Audi meet. Pictures can be seen here http://www.audiforum.ca/golden-horseshoe-audi-club/64911-krown-lakeshore-event-may-7th-2011-a-9.html

One of the more national events is Vagkraft. This year it is on August 14 at the Powerade Centre in Brampton, Ontario. AudiForum.ca will be attending.

5) What does it take to join the forum or the club?

Joining AudiForum.ca is free. You don’t need an Audi to come join in and participate. Everyone is very friendly. Once registered on the forum you can speak to one of the club reps and they will inform you on how to join their club.
