Wow what a rude bunch of posts in this thread. Bashing ManteoMax is unacceptable as he has helped everyone at any time----- always. Also Hieronymus is probably the most easy going and fair, well they are all fair, anyway he doesn’t deserve this nor do any of the Mods. All they are doing is keeping an organized structure of this forum for all the viewers so we can actually see what we are looking for and get help if needed. Mellow out people the Mods are not out to get you unless you really deserve it.

Things took a turn for the worse around here when the wants and demands of the individual began to outnumber the generosity, ingenuity and community-mindedness of the members as a whole. Only when members start to stray away from the ‘me’ and ‘I’ mentality will these forums become a welcoming site for new members, a place to revisit for loyal Forza fans, and a receptive environment for dedicated veterans of the Forza community to step forward and present new ideas and activities.
That said, these forums are not dead. The Forza franchise is simply undergoing a change in identity - along with the hurdles of a new console - and it is reasonable to expect the community to become divided and to dissipate as this transition takes place. Give it time and things will spring back to life with a largely new crowd of Gamertags and a new Forza title to look forward to.
Beside the reasons given above, Xbox One is not released world-wide yet. There are still two more large releases due, one in April, I believe, and another later in the year.
Rather difficult to play FM5 without the console you need.
Check also the FM4 and Horizon forums here, there are contests, etc., still going on.
Last i checked,nobody makes you play the game,it is still a choice. As for FM5 being easier than the others,i find that statement false,the physics are great,by the way there are some diabled people who have been playing since the start and we are not noobs,you saying we should just give up our passion? I don’t think so!
For me good things are worth waiting for and FM5 is no different. 80million 360 consoles sold…4 to 5 million FM4 games sold…approximately 400,000 users on the old forum…about a month ago It was reported that approximately 3.5 million XBO’s were sold…based on the previous ratios of 20 to 1 consoles to game ratio and the user ratio, it shows that only a small portion of the Forza gaming population actually participates in the forum…I propose a future 10 point Forza Forum Achievement Award to spur activity in this forum. I, personally didn’t know a Forza Forum existed until 2 years ago when I got my first computer…just saying
