--Matt The collective sigh of relief around the forums is huge ,I'm sure. To be honest, I'm more relieved to hear that you're keeping your job, than I am about the forums

Here is an idea. Shoot holes in it as you may! BTW, I am in the SouthWest group: Each group should nominate a chair person that would be responsible for gathering "donations" for his/her local group. This would actually make the groups more like an actual "Car-Club" but it would releive the burden from Lance and/or anyone that would take it over. Each group, I assume, has local gatherings, no matter how infrequently. We need to fugure out EXACTLY how much it is gonna cost to place our site in a reliable location. I figure that it can't be much, due to the size and lack of complicated scripting ect.... If each group would do one "fund-raiser" or "group-gimme" event, we could stick money into a national PayPal account and voila, we are safe from advertising and pop up garbage. Gee, isn't this like a democracy... State run government reporting to a national government.... With the amount of members that we have, we don't need each group to gather that much cash, I would think. If each group gathered $300 that would be like $6k (assuming we have 20 groups). That should be more than plenty, right???? We should attempt to stay Non-Profit.

I must not have been around long enough... what is the with the hostility between the two sites? I guess I don't my CEG history as well as I should. I always was a slacker when it came to studying. [/b] That's real cute, but if some people didn't fashionably wear their head up their asses - And people like you didn't gossip and make up stories like little school children maybe FC.Org would be willing to come together. I've heard that FC.Org and MEG might join together to create something cool - Looks like CEG is going to be left out because of it's members alone, judged by the idiotic, prejudiced and mis-informed members and here-sayers that make it up. 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. 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. 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. Maybe not tomorrow, maybe not this year - Maybe not next. But it's inevitable. I'm a marketing director for a large telecommunication firm - I've seen it happen to little dot.commers over and over again. Make fun of FC.Org. Go ahead - But when it's still here because it's making money because it's owner is being capatalistic - and also working with other Ford sites to make a great community for owners (Don't cry me a river)! John P.S. Can anyone even tell me the event that started FC.Org? I asked the source and got the right info... How many of you know?
