Many of you will be bitterly disappointed, but after five years of putting up with a frequently unappreciative online community, I'm done with it. I may change my mind after a break, but we will see.
and I mean take over everything.
the rights to the site, the hassles of finding a T1 or appropriate connection, hosting the actual server, everything.
I appreciate all that Lance has done for this site, he's made it such an amazing resource, but so many have expressed the want to take over for Lance and relieve him of the abovementioned hassles he has to deal with.
Let someone else deal with the hassles, Lance, and let you get back to your own life and free time.[/b]i agree:) Page 9...Own3d with a capital 3!!!

Lance and other contributing CEG members. Thanks for your information, and knowledge on the Contour. It has helped me out of some jams and also made me want to modify my car. To me, it seems sad that you want to just shut down this site. It has been mentioned in many well-known articles in magazines sold worldwide, and I think that means a lot. It shows that people want to be part of this site and that it is full of knowledgable information that people like to share with one another. Lance, if you don't feel like dealing with everthing that this site puts on you, thats fine, very understandable. I just think that before it is just shut-down, see if someone else will take it over. I have seen this site change over the years, and I will agree it isn't always for the best. However, people still come and check it out from time to time even if they don't have their Tour anymore. I guess I would just narrow down the topics in the forum, and keep the archives. Just my 2-cents on this. If you decide to shut it down, that is your choice. It will be missed greatly by CEG members around the world.

Lance and his team made an excellent and time consuming job and should be thanked for that. We all benefited from this site.
I wonder however why everybody is excited. If this site is shut down, it will come back, with a registration fee!

Agreed! KEEP THIS SITE. Like others that said, i'd pay for a yearly subscription, and i know there are a lot of others that would too. I don't want to give up this site (although, my boss would be happy since i'll get more work done), i'd like to see it stay too.
