To continue this thing going is not that hard guys! All that we need is a few CEG fanatics such as myself, and many, many, many others that are on here.
Of course, we will always have at least a penny a month on donations...

why not split sections across different DSL accounts? spread the bandwidth so it isn't such a large chunk. sure it'd be slower but considering the alternative...

Joe, totally agreed, but this is local. We must preserve the National connection here. Otherwise, the CEG is dead.
Anything besides this site will be inadequate to keep us together. Phone# get lost, people lose addresses, or simply do not wanna hassle anymore.
If this is how it's gonna be, then I see this place falling apart in mere days. Regional chapters will remain for sure, but the national won't...
Joe, I know that you expressed interest in taking over the Chicago CEG from Deane, and I expressed my interest to help. So at least we know that Chicago CEG will be safe.
However, that is not enough if you ask me. WE NEED A NATIONAL CONNECTION!!

So, not to be a pessimist (sp?) but with time being limited, where do we go from here? Can Fordcontour.org handle the bandwidth of all of us jumping on there at the same time? That is the only alternative I can think of for everybody. Yeah there is the SVTPerfomance.com, but that is manily for us SVT people, and i know more than 1/2 of the users from here are not SVT owners. Like it has been said before, Lance, thanks for everything, I have met so many people and learned so much that it is hurts to see this site go. It will be missed

We haven't even heard if he is willing to hand it over. If he isn't, then we are wasting our time asking. I fully understand if he isn't willing... It is his creation and he should do what is right in his eyes.
I would think that companies like THM/SHM/BAT/StreetFlight/countless others would be down with kicking a few dollars down to keep us alive. The more corporate sponsors, the cheaper it would be for each sponsor. Whomever takes the responsibility to Mod the board, would stand a small chance at turning a minor profit, should they choose to. I would kick in a few dollars... I am sure that that has been said in the past... The other Contour site is just not as good. Lance, do what you will, but think about letting one of those interested take it over. How about a member sales promotion where we send checks to Lance to buy the site from him? Some lucky schmuck could be the proud owner and corporate sponsorship could keep it alive.

Wow. This is truly dissapointing for a selfish standpoint. Lance, I am glad you are cleaning your hands with this forum. I agree that the past few months has been very rough for this site. I also want to Thank You for everything you've done to and for this site. The information I got from here was and always, as long as I own either one of my Tours, be priceless in my eyes. To all on this site who have helped me out in the past and persons that I have met through this site - 'Thank You'. It's a sad day - But I also COMPLETELY understand the decision made. Hopefully, the main site is still available after a while. There really is a ton of awesome information there. Later.
