That is quite adequate. if there is nothing new to revamp a dying breed or pass it along to the next generation then it will fade into obscurity.The crowd and cars are dying, plus we don't have a current model to bring many new people in.
I've seen more than my fair share of guys disappear, and GTbird.com die completely.
As for me looks like if I get my new job will become a lot less active for awhile.
There use to be a longer explanation to that suggestion. But now it simply boils down to TCCoA is no longer privately owned and SCCoA is.Here's an idea, why don't sccoa and tccoa bridge together on one site for more population and traffic...? Yeah some have v8's and some have v6's but who cares, same body. It would really help make a nicer looking site, just because our site looks like its from the 80's and is to be honest horribly organized. Modded mustangs is so entertaining and well organized and all members with all different types of setups and engines (4cyl/v6/v8) all go to one place, which ends up with more posts, more conversation, and makes the forum more alive in general. Just saying. Why have two separate sites for the same chassis, kinda dumb by todays standards. I could see back in the 90's when we were more segregated, but now that there are so few of these vehicles left we should all band together to keep the sites alive.
The advantage there was they knew it was coming. We didn't know about it until a week after it happened. :facepalm:There use to be a longer explanation to that suggestion. But now it simply boils down to TCCoA is no longer privately owned and SCCoA is.
Fortunately for them when it came time to pass the torch they kept it in the family. TCCoA did not.
It's been said before..Most things dealing with these cars has already been talked about, and a lot of times you'll see the expression "Got Search"..has this site always been this slow? I feel like theres only a handful of people who post regularly.
Speaking of noobs on the pages, I think be been the most annoying thing that the TCCoA has had for a while xDIt's been said before..Most things dealing with these cars has already been talked about, and a lot of times you'll see the expression "Got Search"..
Something along those lines anyway..Fact is..If the n00bs didn't ask these questions over, and over..Things would be realllllllllllly slow..
Even more than they are now..Not all of us members are here for the same thing..
Some of us for the comradery of being around others that like the same thing..Like MN12's!..
Some come here just to sell a few things, and move on..
Then you get others that actually help one another instead of belittling them for not using "Search"..
I'm not picking on you in particular, but if all you wanna do is bullschit..IMO..Facebook would be more appropriate for that..
It's great when an individual comes up with something no one else has talked about yet..Keeps things interesting..
The Technical Articles here are great, and even people that aren't members here have found that information useful..Example: JerryMod
As far as combining SCCoA & TCCoA..I'm not sure how well that would work..A lot of information on SCCoA is Private, and only available to paid members..
Look at how many members here are actually "paid members"..Few, and far between..Thankfully some individuals have contributed monetarily..
Basically you gotta pay to see the good stuff on SCCoA.. :tongue:
What do I think?..If we combined the 2 sites, and used the SCCoA system of "pay to play"..I doubt many here would be willing to pony up the $$$$..
Big Welcome Back to the OG Members!
Rayo..

In recent years we've also had a few members pass for various reasons. Since 2009 we've lost: Jlangton, DLF and Brian M. Klein (th3subtl3on3)

I mostly agree, especially the home page. but that seems to be where AAN has their teeth locked into. Our old "privately owned" homepage was outdated but even it was better than the current one, which is really just a facade of a real home page. SCCoA's is pretty nice in comparison(although they've had the same ride of the month for nearly 3 years:tongueI used to do a lot of FTP and server coding back in my gaming days. I'm sure if we all banded together our comp science knowledge we could be pretty handy. I know many of you do this for a living as well. Just imagine Moddedmustangs, but more classy/visually pleasing colorscheme, just as fantastic home page (Ride of the month) and lots of forum options. just because they own the rights to this site, doesn't mean we can't make our own and bridge it with sccoa's existing articles. Would it take time? Yes. But it would definitely reinvigorate our overall morale and give us a very polished result the way we, as a CLUB want it. Not AAN...
Just sayin' I'm on board to offer help in any way I can.
I think a lot of problems reside in the non-importance of being a member anymore, and there is little incentive to post about your ride, because it can't be featured, can't be listed on the home page, and we have no control over it. As one of my ITE courses said, your home page dictates your traffic levels and how many members join.
