Hello Members!

Since we created this website back in 2000, it has grown by leaps and bounds – and so has the amount of maintenance that is required to keep things running smoothly. As many of you are well aware, over the past year or so, I have not been able to devote as much time and attention as I used to towards system maintenance. In order to help return the site to a more efficient level, I have chosen to sell the Forum to a company called AutoGuide, which operates hundreds of automotive forums – they will take over the hosting and maintenance of the website. Because of all of the problems we were experiencing with my previous hosting company, the website has already been copied over to AutoGuide’s servers – this should help keep the website running smoothly.

Although AutoGuide is taking over the operational aspects of the website and you may see some changes appear as a result, the forum itself should not be greatly affected. I will still be involved with the website as much as time permits, and the existing moderator staff will still maintain their rights and roles in the forum. At some point in the near future, additional staff will be brought on board to provide extra assistance to the community. The vast majority of the forum’s existing rules and regulations will stay in place – the last thing we want to do is negatively impact your experience on this website. So please buckle up and have fun while we attempt to make this website even better!

I have spoken with the Tech guys and they will be working on merging the old data back into the site. I found it but was never able to merge it myself. Thanks for all of your support and I will still be here, working on the Forum and be there to help all members as I have in the past. I will also fight for you to make sure the site does not go down the drain.

Thanks for all of your help with everything Hack. I had to edit one of my posts because I did not want to come off as abrasive, which isn't my intent. I do appreciate everything you've done for us for the past 10 years. I'm hoping everything stays as good as it always has been without being too cluttered or slowed down, and the vendors here get treated well with the new owners.

The old data is priceless, so if we need a few ads put on the site to bring it back, then it will be worth it.
