You live in Ohio - There's more than 30 members in their Ohio Contour Group, (I'm not one though, not from Ohio) but reading all the info on the group on FC.Org and you need help? Plus the fact the whole FC.Org site is based from people that live IN Ohio... lol. Are you seeing where I'm going with this? If you don't feel comfortable with responding on here PM me, cause no matter what happens with CEG the other sites still exist. Praying and donating aren't going to help - Search other posts made by Lance and others about it. John 1999 Contour SVT

I wonder why I don't ever post here, it's good for a laugh when people that don't have a clue open their mouth and talk stuff about a subject that no one knows anything about. Good for them. Quote: Like Lance said, he does not want CEG to become a business. This is a hobby and pleasure for him, and that's what I gather is his meaning. To FC.Org and MEG it's business - So you tell me who's more serious about being there for the members? Donate, donate, donate - Please. Donations are a crutch that will only help for so long. Oh, I guess the fact that Lance runs this site out of his love for the Contour and not for the love of money means he doesn't give a **** about the other members. :rolleyes: Quote: Memberships will cure the short term problem but as members here sell their cars and move on - The battle for new memberships drops off and the site goes away.

You keep on telling us how great it is and how CEG is going to eventually die. Somehow the people of CEG will figure a way to keep this site running. As for FC.org I hope they last just as long, I just rather not go there. So please stop telling everyone how great the other site is on how we should all go over there. '99 SVT Contour 1298 of 2760

We know fc.org exists, if we want to go over there, I'm sure most of us are well capable of redirecting our browsers ..... ok? BTW, coming on here and calling someone a fool isn't the best way to make friends. Also, if Cardoc is "The only source for real truth" (your words), why don't you save us some bandwidth and piss off over to fc.org, for good and leave us to our "lies".. Comprende ? And FWIW, I wish fc.org and the MEG the very best of luck in whatever they decide to do, lest you think I'm being partisan here.
