Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General General ANNOUNCEMENT: The future of contour.org [is bright]

I'm hoping the domain will still be registered. It would be a shame to see this turn into a porn site ... if anything please don't let this happen ...?

Wow.

I knew this day would come.

Hopefully we can pool our resources to keep it going some how.

...or maybe Lance will be able to dedicated his much appreciated time and effort for a little while longer.

Nope, it'll stay registered.

THE SITE IS NOT GOING DOWN FOREVER. NO DATA WILL BE LOST. IT WILL FIND ITS WAY TO A NEW HOME.

How much would it cost (if possible) to keep CEG alive @ Matt's house for one more month? I think it is clear that most users want to see the forums stay up somewhere, anywhere. But short notice will not allow the next place to get setup as well as let the user community know where it is/status/infomation. I have not donated a dime to CEG and for that, I am disappointed in myself. But I'm willing to pay a good chunk to keep it alive at least until another palce has been organized.

I really just got here, but I have met some great folks, learned a lot, and had a few laughs.

Good luck, Lance, fair thee well, wherever thee may fare...

As my quote below sez: Hey! I was!

Hey Lance, I read the thread in the "Off Topic" and all I can say is I am sorry that you have to deal with some of that. A friend of mine was running a site with a chat and MB, and she basically got sick of people whining and bickering and questioning why she did things, so she shut it down. BUT, before you do something drastic, think of all the people you have helped. I have learned SO much about the car, and even this weekend when I was installing my audio gear, I ran into massive problems, I was sitting at my computer until 3am searching archives and printing threads/pics. So, if you really get fed up, try to keep some of the info because it really is invaluable.

Lance, again, thank you. I have met some great people here. If anyone EVER comes down to New Orleans, email me xphilerhd@aol.com!! It's been fun. LOL And I you have to get this site back up in some way..I just bought the darn stickers! :p

Everyone, I'm sorry this is happening.... I wish it weren't happening, however, my job has decided to lay me off after all. They are unsure about the office in MD and don't want to keep me around if it's going to close. My last day at Genuity is July 31st. However, I don't when the T1 will be shut off. If I could afford $300 per month, I would happily get a 1.5Mb up/1.5Mb down SDSL connection to my house and keep up the site. Again, I'm sorry.

Thnx Lance this site has saved my 98 Mystique, it's been 5 years now it still runs great and still looks like new. Where Ford tried to cut corners we as a group have been able to share and help each other.
I'm still trying to get on board with this OBD II stuff

hope somthing works out, should be interesting going it alone.
Matt best of luck finding new employment, I got early/forced retired from the phone company 1998
it's no fun out there anymore.

Mark, do you have a paypal account? I'm sure people would donate a yearly subscription price.

I am really sad to hear this! I have followed Contour.org for about 3 years now, and would hate to see it go away.
