That's the question!
I know a number of you came over here during the various mass bannings from other forums. But there are newer members that have joined for their own reasons! So, being nosy, we are curious as to what brought you all here! And as always - WELCOME!! Andy |

For me, it was spillover chatter from the other place a couple of years ago. Then, I was granted a short vacation by Mr Mojo.(Thanks Frank) That got me over here for a week. That's when I also found Digital and CorvetteFlorida. So that's how y'all got stuck with me.

After I bought my 92 coupe I did an online search for anything about Corvettes and came across Digital Corvettes. They had a lot of info and being rather friendly, I hung around. One of the posts recommended C4guru.com as a good source for C4 enthusiasts. I lurked for awhile here then joined. It felt comfortable like the local garage hangout on Saturday night where you can have fun and learn a bit. Interesting people with a good sense of humor. I still cruise around DC but I consider this home. :thumbright:

I was being constantly spammed in my e-mail about this place so I decided to join just to make the e-msils stop.
Really someone on DC mentioned it and being a C-4 guy I thought a place of our own would be cool so I joined up. I don't offer much in content but I do check in alot. |

I first found out about this forum from the buyer's guide Andy had on the other site. But I did not really start posting here until I was an owner. No sense making a total nuisance of myself on two Vette sites.
But what pushed me to hang my hat here were the popup ads in my posts for the Dale Earnhart thing that they were advertising on the other forum. I understand that advertising allows free forums to exist. Hell, I make TV commercials for a living! But I loath NASCAR in general, and Dale in particular. And for a website to forcefully link something I wrote to that sport, and that man really pissed me off. Then the mass bannings started, and that was about it. |

Andy was pushing the site on me about putting time into a very tech-based C4 site. I thought to myself, "that'll never work" and went back to making fun of moderators on CF.

When the site was first developed, I saw it mentioned at Corvette Forum. I visited here at that time but never was active. I didn't sign up here until the shit hit the fan over at CF. I just couldn't hang there without all of the guys I was accustomed to reading and discussing stuff with.
Recently I went over to Cf a couple of times and don't recognize a lot of people. |

I bookmarked it a looong time ago from a link in Andy's "C4 jacking and towing" article. Never came back until Coach's group buy for wheel bearings moved over. Then I spent a lot of time here in December and stuck around. 300 posts later, here we are.

I got drunk one night, staggered over to the computer....the next morning I woke up and said..."I DID WHAT!!!!
Ok, ok,. Actually I got the info a while back over at Brand X. Signed in but it was soooooo freakin' slow... I'd surf but not post. Then the crap started over there and the rest is history. Came on board and now you're stuck with me Quote: Then started hanging out here more when the other place pissed me off with there in your face advertising. It so bad now I can't even go over there from work cause most of it is blocked by the filters. That can't possibly be right? Robert (Pewter99) (I know the little is here somewhere;)) said that they don't have those problems;) You must be mistaken! I surf several sites but only have 2 site stickers on my vette...the GURU and CorvetteFlorida |
