To whom it may concern,

I've been a member of this site off and on for more than 10 years. I've been dealing with some personal problems as of late, like the last 2 years lol. Anyway, I can't believe the lack of interest , member involvement and general lack of activity or traffic on this site. Where did everyone go ? Is there another forum I don't know about. I'm greatly disappointed by this development and if anyone can shed some light on the subject, I would appreciate it. Thanks...

As you can tell, I'm here pretty much every day, and find the signal-to-noise ratio to be about the lowest of any other board I'm on. I have ventured to the 3rd Gen and LS1tech forums for information and to ask questions I've usually already asked here, but again, the on-topic responses have been best here.

The other annoying thing is that the other forums owned by multi-national media conglomerates (and doing all they can do to hide that fact) are so loaded with pop-ups, slide-ins and in-thread ads that pages frequently take minutes to load for us out here in the sticks.

We're still pretty active here, since we still own 3rd Gens. We'll probably have the Firebird until we're too old to drive, or made single due to age/sickness, and we'll probably be leaving the B4C in our estate.

It would be interesting to see what the 5th and 6th Gen pony car guys are doing to their cars for tracking, but I'll bet most of them are on the generation-appropriate forum, if at all. Not sure what the tech there is like.

We're not on faceplant or the twitiotsphere, or any of the other apparent 'social' things. Just not a format that is of any interest, and the apparent free-flow of our interest to 3rd parties from those things is not something we're willing to participate in.

Thank you, Kevin, for keeping this thing going. We'll be happy to donate to the cause. I think we have before, but don't remember. We do periodically send donations to other not-for-profit forums, we can add this one to our list.
