Rick is spot on. Everytime this sort of thing comes up it turns in to nothing but finger pointing and a real bitch fest. Nothing productive comes out of it.

That's a pretty good analogy.Quote:

I know what your saying and your right to a degree. There's no doubt that post summarized what has been going on for a long time but it's not really helpful. We all know what's been going on. How do we move on from here?
[QUOTE=facemelter71;774557]Thanks for your input. I was not able to do anything about it before. I said, lets move forward from this point. I hear a lot of bitching, but all in all, the board still basically functions.Quote:

Maybe its time one of the big guns posted a date and time for everyone to show up to a certain Hooters (unannounced to Hooters of course :)), have a great big group hug, talk of the glory days, maybe a burn out or two :eek:, and actually have some face-face conversations and interaction. After all, internet activity only goes so far.
Maybe some old wounds could be healed in the process. :bigthumb
First thing I would do to move forward would be post an apology to Craig and send him an email with an invite to come back. But it has to come from the right person. He did nothing wrong and was only trying to help this place out. Someone got some bad info on what he was doing and started accusing him of things. I think that would be a good step in the right direction.
I totally agree with this. I feel Craig leaving took a toll on the site. After Vinny passed, a lot of people were looking to Craig to step into the spotlight. I know that could NEVER be done but he did a great job of keeping the sanity here.Quote:

Any momentum of getting SBZ back onto the right track ended with the T-Shirt issue.

There was a post on one of the fb fox body groups the other day asking about Sbz. They were asking how long it takes to get approved as a member. At least 4 people said they had been waiting for almost 4 weeks.
That could be a start.........
I agree 100 percent, used to you could get on here and find anything you would ever need for your mustang in the parts for sale. Hell you could even find good deals on mustangs, Now you have to have a certain amount of bullshit posts before you can even make ads in them sections. And you cant get your post count up because there are never any new threads or anyone on here to talk to. Its like a big downward cycle. Its sad to see the shape this site is in todayQuote:

People prolly don't post parts on here cause its like pulling teeth too sell anything on here,Ive sold a bunch of parts on here but when you got a site like svtperformance or craigs where theres alot more interest in things.I have a ton of parts for sale but I didn't even bother putting most of the stuff on here.Most people either want too trade an old coleman bbq grill or some dirty pocket lint for what you post up.
Considering your post count and how long you've been a member I'd say you haven't participated much ...just saying.Quote:

There's def a login issue, my buddy Dave has tried to get back on multiple times after forgetting his password, has tried for months. The email an admin hasn't worked for him.
The minimum post count keeps scammers to a minimum. You don't see many so and so ripped me off threads for a reason. I think most of us would rather buy from someone we know anyway. With traffic down I can see how getting post count up would be rough though.
Well I have been a member on this site every since day one. My old screen name doesn't work for some reason. I can log in with it and that is far as it will go.( locks up ). I have emailed people about it hell even started a thread about it once and it never got fixed. Easier to make a new name. But I guess if sitting on 73 racing Vinny and Silver bullet back in the day isn't participating much then I guess I haven't.. Just sayingQuote:
