    I suggest:
    http://www.priusforum.com
    Stable platform.
    More users needed.

    I looked at some of the alternative sites, like Prius Forum. Looks like they're moribund as more people post here. Just saying.

    Had a look, but don't think it's up to speed for me, thanks Sam. I'm gonna struggle along with this crowd on here, they're unequalled anywhere else. (Give yourselves a hearty round of applause).

    Definitely need more users.

    There is one 3rd gen forum, and one person viewing. Near the top of the list of postings, someone complained that their "brakes were always rusty". And the one response was that it's normal for brake rotors to be a bit rusty. That was in 2015:

    http://www.priusforum.com/forum/toyota-prius-third-generation-discussion/4562-rusting-brakes-killing-me-financially-any-ideas.html

    Perhaps the PriusChat community is akin to a hermit crab. We could collectively scuttle over to a new-and-improved shell, lol?

    I do not think toyotanation.com is any better. Only 1 Prius forum.

    Well that is because NOBODY POSTS THERE.
    This forum was dead like that in the beginning too.

    When the pain gets to be too much, you will still be welcome.

    In the beginning, I bounced between here and Priusonline, but that appears to be an online game now.

    I've noticed that the problems seem to occur mostly early in the morning (here on the RightCoast) and things get better as the day progresses! (...just sayin') ;)

    For a while it was going off the rails for me around 9 pm west coast (North America), that's midnight east coast US I guess.

    The outages maybe have shifted around, but seem to happen daily. Tidal, lol?

    Really bad just now. Having to try multiple times to post stuff. Plus the old "deleted thread" misinformation lots of times.

    Since I'm rarely on here after 3pm, it probably just starts early evening and I don't notice until the next morning.:rolleyes:
