It's time to become the tech forum we CAN be! I know we can be great and become what other forums can only dream of becoming. We have a core here that will put to shame other sites.

However, we need to stop bashing other sites. For whatever reason, and some are quite justified, it is time to snap out of this stage and move forward.

It has been over a week since several of us were banned, and yes, we have grown by leaps and bounds since then, but I don't want - and I think you all agree - visitors to come scanning through here and finding nothing but bashing threads that don't express our passion for the C4 Corvette.

I know you all understand, it is time to let bygones be bygones and move forward!

Thanks!!!!!

Exactly!
It might be funny to see some of it at first. But you need real content to keep the members coming in.

I bet this place has set new records for membership growth in the last week. Now let's keep them here and growing.

I just read this sticky for the first time tonight! I'm on-board and don't have anything else to say about other Forums good or bad.
I think this site will Rock if we all pull together. We should all contribute and make this the best resource for all C4 owners!

Thanks again Andy

Start a new thread in tech! Are you really sure you need an ECM though? Replacing that is really a last ditch effort.

Exactlyh lets make this site what it should be. Somebody should make a sticky about performance mods that WORK. Somebody should also explain the 160 t- stat in great detail as well as it always came up. We need to go fetch CFI EFI and give him a few projects splaining things that we could make permanent.

I suggest you bring back the CF thread and move CF type posts to it. More and more frustrated folks are going to come here and they will need to vent. Better to have the posts in one thread instead of scattering them over the forum.

What do you think Bogs?

We can make it an open sticky in OT, and let it sit there, call it "vent your frustrations here". Subject title should not mention or degrade any specific websites.

I will gladly help corral the posts into there. You may be over it, but many new users coming in here won't be.

Yep, I think 90% of the ads over there are like that now.
At first I thought maybe it was just the time of day (very early in the morning) when I first came across one. You know like the late night infomercials. But I have seen them in the middle of the day now too.

Just my $.02 on this, but I'd keep it open as one (1) thread. As mentioned, other disenchanted, disenfranchised people will eventually make thier way here. When they do, they need to see a list if you will, of thier brethren who have made the move as well

Also, some may be looking for one or two specific people to see if they've moved over? Most have kept thier SN the same. Some of us such as myself, changed our SN but placed a reference to the old in the sig line so those that knew me from "over there" would know I'm here.

I think finding others of "like mind" and many having the same issues as they, will make them feel more at home and among friends

As far as bashing the site (or any site for that matter), I still think thats childish. People need to vent. Obviously, they can't do it there. This would give them an outlet to vent

So speak your mind, get it off your chest, then....breathe in, breathe out...move on...(Thank you Mr. Buffett )
Just my thoughts on the matter....

Gordon

We can work from this thread. I am concerned that certian folks are being watched here, and will face reprocussions from their feelings here on other sites.

That's why I moved the CF Coup thread out. It still exists, mostly cause some very wise statements were made, but I don't want those to be publically available. I have a feeling that certian folks on other forums will be looking to add fuel to certian little fires, if you follow my cryptic commentary...

If I want to find a date, I'll go date my wife. I don't need that chit in my life. I'm not explaining myself or what forums I visit. If i go to a bad site that is my bad. If I go to a forum to find out info on my car or help someone with theirs or talk to my buds I don't want that crap popping up. I'll stay here and not worry about it. Here is a picture of my butt, just in case anyone wanted to see it.

Seriously, that ad copied above says "it's girlfriend season". Wow.

Who comes up with stuff like that? Add me to the list of people who will no longer be able to read CF at work. Seems like less and less of a loss everyday.

I moved the Banned from CF... It contained info that could get people in trouble for no good reason. I have a feeling that CF is monitoring us over here, and looking for reasons to ban folks.

I don't want to give them too much ammo.
