I think our only hope is to find another person like Matt who has a T1 to his/her home. Not a likely prospect.
If we cannot find another host, the site may live on without the forums (where the majority of the bandwidth is used), or I may just let it die completely. With the prevailing attitudes on the site being more and more hostile and unhelpful, I'm not sure I feel very motivated to continue.

Lance, I agree completely with the hostile/unhelpful thing. But understand that this site can not just be allowed to die! I have been glued to this site for months now and I know there are others who have been here
much longer than I have. This site and the forums that go with it are a hub for all auto enthusiasts, Contour or otherwise.
Please don't let this site drift away. As for those of you who can't keep a helpful and mature attitude in here, get it together. As you can see, your behavior is impressing no one, and it does leave a negative impression on those who make this awesome site a reality for us all.
