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]
FC.org was born out of someone getting all butthurt.[/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. Boohoo. I touched a nerve.

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.
Good for them.

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.
Oh, I guess the fact that Lance runs this site out of his love for the Contour and not for the love of money means he doesn't give a **** about the other members. :rolleyes:

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.
I haven't owned a Contour in over a year. I'm on my second non-contour car. I'm not going anywhere. There's plenty of people here that no longer own Contours and are still here. Hell, some guys never owned Contours in the first place!

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.
Like wow, man!

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)!
Just because your making money doesn't mean your going to last forever. Just ask Enron.

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?
What's this source you speak of?
