This LS430 forum
Just wanted to say that this forum is really getting pretty good! I've been around since 2005 when I bought my first LS430. Back then there was rarely any "enthusiast" type content except for those who were simply enthusiastic about the quality and comfort of these cars (nothing at all wrong with that). In the past year or so I've really noticed that more car enthusiast types have discovered the LS430 and I'm thinking that it will develop a strong following in the years to come. It really is an awesome car.
That is all.
That is all.

And I as a newbie have noticed your contributions as well as others enhancing the board as well. Have noticed I'm perusing more and more and finding stuff to comment on. Great going everyone.

Excellently excellent...
excellent to that. I have been on here since I think 2004, but it was more on the RX because that's what I had at the time (and still do). I never went into other pages because just never did. The LS page to me was a page for old foggies to hang around and talk about golfing and how their cars are so great, blah blah.
Then when I was about to get my LS and I started looking around, found the forum was full of young guys, some kids, mod'ig their cars, having fun, and giving some good opinions. So far, only one person is an admitted old foggie, but I'm sure he's young at heart.
Anyway, I agree that this and the RX forum are both great and I'm sure the GS and IS, ES etc. are too. I hope to be here for many years to come and then eventually one day being one of the old foggies. Hopefully I will have graduated to the LS460 forum (or LS500 by then...)

I have to credit much of the forums success to the helpful members and matured responses. We don't have 90% of the issues most forums deal with from name calling and rude commentary.
I've noticed the base has grown tremendously over the past two years. I remember when all the LS models were in the same forum, there was hardly any LS430 traffic at all. So a thank you goes out to all those who contributed to make the forum better by answering questions and assisting newer members with knowledgeably information

yeah this ls430 forum really beats the 2gs forum on a maturity level for sure. i had a gs400 before and although you could probably find out much more detailed info about the 2nd gen gs from that forum you (or me in this case) had to deal with much more silly and non productive comments. i have noticed that this ls430 forum is just starting to reach its stride, i just hope with this increase in newer/younger (i guess i sort of fall into this category, the under 30 crowd) members that all the negativity and bashing doesn't follow suit (notice i don't have a sig block, i too got caught up in the arguing once).

thanks to the MODERATORS too! :)
I hear that!......it's just like when we BUY these cars...the owners tend to be very mature, responsible, educated, and civilized! Of course, let's not forget the great job and time spent that all the MODERATORS do here!

Yes, I think this forum is great too. I started around the mid 1990's with online automobile forums/mailing lists/blogs. My first was a Mercedes forum. The knowledge of some of the older members was nothing short of amazing. I got to know some very intelligent and interesting people; sadly some of which aren't around today. What is interesting is each forum has it's own personality, even those devoted to the same car. At first I did not understand why there were not any Lexus forums, but then realized it's a car with a young pedigree. These cars also don't seem to have all the problems we dealt with back in the 1980's and 1990's with our Mercedes.
After buying a Lexus I was glad to discover there were a number of Lexus forums on line today. I don't recall having belonged to an automobile forum made up of such a diverse group. I for one am very thankful for this forum especially since I live in such a rural area.

Of course, as we all know...the # of posts does not necessarily represent that you're posting a more useful amount of information.
