I have really appreciated the opportunity to receive and share knowledge about my Contour with others on this site. It has been a great help to me in maintaining and troubleshooting problems with my car.
Thanks for providing a great site and.... Please Reconsider!

To Lance and his family... Thanks for the great site. Sorry to hear that your hobby turned into a nightmare. I know I would pay for a yearly membership to this site if that was the only problem.... but it's not. Enjoy some free time.

Shutting down the site is not the answer. It's a cop out...I mean, what do you need? More money, moderators, someone else to manage the site...These are all feesible things that can and should happen. I am willing to help with any way possible.....I have gig's of data storage available at my house as well as SOME bandwidth.

Lance, how much drivespace does the site take up? How much bandwidth, 3-4 gigs???

We can find space, or pay for it. I hate paying for information but turning the site into more of a "club" might be the answer. Yearly dues that include a login to ceg, meets, t shirt or some kind of artifact are things that will draw members.

From Lance's tone I beleive there might be more to the story other then what we know. Just because the T line is going away doesn't mean the site can't be moved. People bickering is not a reason to shut down your site. People will post/say retarded sh*t all the time anywhere. Read any of the other "car" boards. Check out www.gixxer.com, they even have a froum titled "anything goes" for bickering and mindless babble. They also have a man section (hairy palms) that keeps all the little "women picture" posts that CEG like to lock down. I think the site needs "help" not an escape route! wink

..and I am fully willing to help with that!

I would gladly pay as well. Most of us Cougar owners who are into performance rely *heavily* apon Contour.org for performance mods and help with problems. We have some really great gear heads over in NECO but only a handfull. NECO as a class is younger more cosmetic minded bunch. I *NEED* this board and it's people!

Let's see: 8253 members @ $25 per year membership fee, that's a potential $206 325 per year ! And the membership is still growing every day !

Not so bad for a small business. Somebody must have thought about that ... wink

Thanks for everything you've done, Lance. Looking forward to the next iteration of contour.org. Drop me an e-mail if you need help with any website-oriented grunt work in the future.

I can't say anything that wasn't already said. I've been a member for over a year now and have been to this site at least once a day. I've learned so much information from all the gearheads on this site...myself not being too mechanically inclined. This was a great place to learn about Cars in general, the Contour specifically. I think it would still be a great place without the forums and would LOVE to pay a fee to keep it up. If that can't be done, than thank all of you for your knowledge, and everyone who put an effort into making new mods for our cars...e.g. Turbo's, pre-97 bumpers, Carbon-fiber hoods, etc...
Thank You all
P.S. This site was my excuse to take a break at work...now i guess i'll have to take up smoking.
