Subject: Re: It's a New Year... and what are we gonna do about it? by Ultraman on 2018/1/3 17:30:31 When I came on in 09 this was a fairly robust site....lots of active members and some good hard core tech advice mostly for the C4 and guys who were doing the 383 conversion......the Admins here, are and were top drawer. Most of you guys could rebuild a C4 with your eyes shut. I think that as the C4 has faded so has the site......although a majority of active members here still own and drive C4's.....also we are all older now with the average age being late 50's or early 60's.....( except for the tool man Matt ) not so much wrenching anymore since our cars are newer and those LS engines just go and go with not a lot of upkeep.... I think the problem has been one of identity. This at one time was the C4Guru was it not? At least I have seen that somewhere. The perception being that this was mainly a C4 site even though the rest of the Generations here have a forum. The elephant in the room of course is the Corvette Forum and Corvette Action Center and Smokin Vette and Digital Corvettes and Sting Ray Forum......Face Book and on and on.... meaning there is a lot of competition out there and places for you to find a spot where you are comfortable and get to know the others on that site. I see folks asking questions on the CF in the C4 that would be easily answered by the C4 brain trust here.....yet there are few who can answer over there. So the answer is going to be hard to discern...my feeling is play to your strength which is the C4 Corvette..... it will never be a big number but will provide a needed place for information on a generation of Corvette that has a lot of peculiarities. Now the question becomes how do you get those C4 guys over to this site...... you gotta advertise.... C4 folks have to find the Guru....... That's my 2 Cents worth....... more later as my brilliance continues to work......  |
